Why is sustainable machinery so important?

The environment is our business, our income, our livelihoods and it is in all our best interests to protect, nurture and care for it.

One way to do that as a business is by working towards being Net Zero. This is achieved by balancing carbon emissions with techniques that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, such as carbon offsetting. The first step is to reduce CO2 emissions or, where possible, cut CO2 emissions altogether.

With zero emissions and zero performance compromises, Toro’s electric machines play a vital role in supporting your sustainability agenda, offsetting the carbon footprint of your diesel/petrol-powered machinery.

The power source

We provide sustainable, environmentally friendly machinery alternatives that don’t compromise on the quality of your work and reduce your carbon footprint. Our current offering includes products powered by biodiesel and advanced batteries made more efficient by incorporating electronic fuel injection, hybrid and electric technologies.

You don’t need to make significant changes to your current infrastructure with any of these vehicles: most models can be charged by plugging into any standard household outlet, taking between three to eight hours depending on the model for a full charge.

Toro

Market-leading when it comes to research and development into sustainable technology for the turf and groundscare markets, with Toro you can choose from hybrid and all-electric options for cutting grounds, greens, tees and fairways, general maintenance duties and for moving around people.

 

However, the brand’s sustainability journey doesn’t stop here. Toro is also pioneering autonomous mower technology that combines clean energy with intelligent automation.
