Toyota Material Handling Europe, together with Toyota Material Handling Deutschland, concluded a highly successful participation at LogiMAT 2026, reinforcing its position as a leader in intralogistics innovation. Over three days, the company demonstrated how integrated expertise across material handling, automation, and advanced technologies is shaping the future of warehouse operations.

A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of the new Traigo80 electric counterbalanced forklift range. Designed for heavy-duty applications, the Traigo80 models (3.5 to 5.0 tonnes) combine power, energy efficiency, and operator-focused ergonomics. With reduced energy consumption and a high-performance 90V battery option delivering enhanced torque and speed, the trucks offer up to 12% energy savings compared to previous models, making them ideal for demanding, high-frequency operations.

Toyota also introduced the Tracto TRE800 and TRE1000 towing tractors. The TRE800 features a compact design and tight turning radius suited for confined environments, while the TRE1000 offers superior comfort and stability for long-distance transport. Both models are engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, reflecting a continued focus on practical, operator-friendly solutions.

Further innovations included a new mast design for pallet stackers, improving visibility, reducing noise, and ensuring smoother operation. Two advanced operator-assist technologies were also launched: E-Steer, an ergonomic steering system with customizable controls, and Operator Detection Assist (ODA), a sensor-based safety feature that enhances operational control and reduces risk.

Automation remained central to Toyota’s showcase, with scalable solutions such as Swarm Automation Transport and Storage systems highlighting flexible, intelligent approaches to warehouse management. The introduction of Toyota Automated Logistics (TAL), set to launch globally in April 2026, marks a significant step toward fully integrated logistics automation.

The company also emphasized sustainability through its collaboration with SSAB, incorporating low-carbon steel into its products. This initiative has already achieved an 18% reduction in lifecycle emissions for select hand pallet trucks.

A dedicated knowledge hub, the Logiconomi Tower, hosted discussions on industry trends, AI, and digitalization, attracting strong engagement from visitors. With strong attendance and positive feedback, Toyota Material Handling Europe’s presence at LogiMAT 2026 underscored its commitment to delivering innovative, efficient, and future-ready intralogistics solutions.
