Toyota Material Handling is awarded iF Universal expert and consumer labels
The BT Movit S-series towing truck was recently given the iF Universal Design expert favourite and consumer label. At the same event, the BT Movit N-series towing truck, Care Equipped for Mobility Support in Hospitals, earned the consumer favourite label.
A specially adapted version of the BT Movit N-series towing truck won the approval of iF Universal’s 50-strong consumer jury, as they converged on the Bavarian capital for the Munich Creative Business Week. The ergonomic and robust N-series Care truck enables Toyota Material Handling to make a contribution in the healthcare arena.
“The truck helps hospital staffs to move patients around, and we are delighted the jury recognised the consumer benefits this includes. Receiving the consumer favourite distinction fits Toyota’s principle to be a ”good citizen”, says Magnus Oliveira Andersson, Head of Design at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
“We are passionate about the wider implications of our work: Our design has to be universal. Regardless of where our users come from, what language they speak and their gender, they should feel equally welcome and at ease using our products.”
