Crown-Built ICE Trucks with John Deere Engines

Forget about the Hemech branding with Komatsu...Crown is developing an ICE truck powered by a John Deere engine. Look for it to be on display at Promat in Chicago in January 09. Trust me...I've seen pictures of a unit at a test site!

I'm hearing... approximately 250 beta trucks. Deere engine, plus for the US market. Italian trans. Start with 4000#-6500# trucks and use Komatsu for the rest of their other fulfillment (yeah right...Crown will get dumped like a fat girlfriend) Crown R Series (models commonly seen = RTS) Looks like an FC electric... more than likely they are trying to get them out and ready for Tier III in 2010. seen pics etc...

LET'S KICK THIS PIG!!
I dont know if you'll see them that early. It's a little early for them to be shown. If you know Crown, they dont display a truck until it's had a lot of seat time. Look at the TSP6000. We all heard the rumors, and it was a year and a half before it saw daylight.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
