Abstract

An industrial vehicle has a vehicle travel mode including a vehicle speed control mode. The industrial vehicle includes an acceleration control member, a target vehicle speed calculator, a direction indicating member, a vehicle direction calculator, a vehicle speed calculator and a controller. The target vehicle speed calculator calculates a target vehicle speed based on an operation amount of the accelerator control member. The vehicle direction calculator calculates an instructing travel direction of the industrial vehicle based on a position of the direction indicating member. The vehicle speed calculator calculates an actual vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle. In the vehicle speed control mode, when the instructing travel direction is the same as an actual travel direction of the industrial vehicle and the target vehicle speed is lower than the actual vehicle speed, the controller maintains the vehicle travel mode in the vehicle speed control mode for controlling the traveling.
