Linde's 'long march' across China halfway complete
XIAMEN, China Thursday, 22 Jul 2004
Linde-Xiamen Forklift Truck Corp, the Chinese arm of German forklift giant Linde, is just over halfway through a 6000km, four-month, trans-China forklift rally.
Designed to showcase Linde's reliability and the strength of the company's Chinese service network, a locally-built, 3-tonne diesel forklift set off from Harbin, China's northernmost province, on its way to Shenzhen in the south, on May 26.
According to the daily diary maintained at www.linde-xiamen.com.cn, the team of drivers have endured inclement weather, strong winds and rough roads.
Dubbed "Linde Explorer", the forklift is reported to have been performing well, with few stoppages other than for the several dozen toll gates the truck has had to passed through.
If all proceeds smoothly, Linde Explorer should arrive in Shenzhen in September.
