Just because you changed the website, doesn't change the facts. You have been making promises for going on 5 years now, and that's all.

OK Roilbeard, what i was meaning is that until Tesla started with electric cars , the automotive industry was mainly all Ic engine cars.now they will be mainly some type of electric with in ten years.


Materials handling have had electric equipment over 50 years so in that way they are in front of automotive, Like i said in some ways

"profg, you are right the plant and materials handling industry is some times a long way behind the Automotive industry,

But on electric vehicles they are a long way in front in some ways, "

Exalt care to elaborate, this is news to me and my colleagues in the automotive R&D sector. Would be very interested to hear you unique knowledge that backs up this statement

Well Chrisk , you certainly don't know our web site we have not used the site you have said since 2016.

We have a new one


Like i have said we have agreed a funding deal now and we can and will produce the new truck at the beginning of 2019 and yes it will be a game changer in the materials handling industry.

we will do this with our IT'S ALL ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY Program

so lets wait and see shall we.

April will come, April will go. The only thing that will change is the launch date for the new super truck. Same thing that has been happening since it was "Coming 2014"


From a Google search for the website that was taken down since the last time this was "discussed".

... to be able to extend the life of our trucks and have a much better in life service. We believe in... exalt materials handling. Coming 2014. [email address removed].

profg, you are right the plant and materials handling industry is some times a long way behind the Automotive industry,

But on electric vehicles they are a long way in front in some ways, Trucks have now been looking at CNG to lower emissions and using SCR systems, What we have found is a way to lower Nox to a level that they can be totally removed allowing our truck to be 100% zero emission. Its not just the fuel we use even though that plays a major part of the process.

If you look at new IC forklifts for next year they will have to be TIER V this is causing a lot of problems for OEM'S, some have even gone down the LPG route to pass the emission. now when you look at the mid range trucks 6,000kg - 10,000kg this problem becomes even more greater this is why many companies have launched new electric trucks in this range over the last 24 - 18 month. Now these have there own problems like battery charging. In my opinion the best way to do this is to have a hybrid system that will charge the battery then shut down only to restart when the battery is at around 30% charge. what we have also been able to do is have the engine running at 100% zero emission and at the best performance for fuel efficiency a bit like how a hydrostatic truck works on efficiency

Lift with electric motor Acme screw jacks. Not the type used by Wiley Coyote.

I'm just as inquisitive to the tech you are using as everyone else reading these posts. Material handling- plant hire equipment is behind on some aspects of the automotive- commercial vehicle industry there are various fuels being tested with a Catalyst to lower emissions Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) - plus stop start technology with hybrids.
Ic engines - can still be viable with the right technology and fuels, electric vehicles have their place in the market and possible brake through with solid-state batteries or the use of super capacitors to reduce load / drain on larger battery configurations under power..

The fuel is not biomass, and we dont use a winch cable system for the lift, if a cable was to snap it would wipe out the driver or some one who was close by

Unbiased opinion.
Possibility - yes
New technology - no
Modified - yes
Engine - direct injection perkins industrial
Fuels - bio - biomethanol - bio-catalyst - oxide ?
Fuel system - heated injectors, stainless steel system
Exhaust system - stainless, catalytic, particulate filters
Drive system - hybrid generator - motors
Lift - electric motors winch cables - crane type
Auxiliary's - electric motor's gearing

Fuel source - biomass process plants
biomass power stations woodchip paper pulp
Ironbridge, United Kingdom - 740MW
Alholmens Kraft, Finland - 265MW
Plus further plants through out the network

Johnr J , Perkins engines are produce in North America, Europe and Asia, we can use locally made steel for areas like the Chassis, The ballast weight is not pig iron casting, we used a different method like other industries. wheels and tieres can be produce locally to. So yes it all can be produced local and this would cut down Shipping.


Ship's are some of the worst polluters on the planet, hopefully this will change as they are looking to use the same fuel we will use.


Also there is a company in North America that has tested LPG and have got this down to around 95% zero emission i believe , there was a something on this on forkliftaction a couple of weeks ago. I think there are working with CAT on this. So yes we can get 100% zero emission with an IC engine its quite simple and been shown already


I will also admit we have done most of our work on quite a small budget now we are getting the proper funding we need that's why i can say it will be launched in 2019.

We have a major customer who has agreed to work with us as well.


I do believe that for trucks under 5,000kg some type of battery system would be best, but for larger trucks over 6,000kg what we are proposing is the best idea.



If you look at Could This Pickup Truck Design Change the world on Youtube you will get a bit of an idea of what we are doing we will use the series hybrid version

Maybe this zero emission truck is a modern day version of "Smake Oil".
In an earlier post exhalt stated that the strategic plan was to product these units in 3 plants - Middle East, Europe & North America and they plan to source materials and key component locally to meet production targets. here is his exact comment -

"we will source locally as much of the products as we can so say North America all the fabrication work & painting work would be done locally , engines would come from a North American plant as would many other parts."

This would lead me to believe the European version of this unit would have a different engine and other components and the one in the Middle east would also be different - maybe yes maybe no. I would think the engine characteristics (combustion chamber, intake manifold, fuel injection design, etc would have a lot to do with achieving zero emissions. At least that what I was taught when I earned a BS degree in Auto Engineering and what I learned in 41 years in the lift truck industry to be compliant with standards like CARB and Tier 1, 2, 3 etc.
Yes his launch dates keep moving around up & back and are hard to keep up with them - kinda' like trying to eat a" soup sandwich" I say.
Hope I'm around in 2019 to see this thing should be interesting. I'm not from Missouri but just "Show Me" 7 Ill be a believer - unless it is "Snake Oil".

We had this discussion before and teased out your new poduct and could not see any game changing tech, You conceded a few months ago that it would be 36 months plus in the future at the end of our conversation. I see now the term game changer has reappeared in the same sentence as 2019. So we are now looking anywhere between 2 to 14 months, I wait with baited breath!

And now the roll out is 2019?

anyone can do a general search on google for 'zero emmissions' and get the general idea on the way exhalt is going with their zero emmission standards. This concept is not new, His mentioned methods may be something different but is it really? And as far as a true 'zero emmissions' the articles i read on this do show promise but we have a long way to go before anyone can really call anything truely zero emmissions. Exhalt can say auto manufacturers are behind in this technology but the one thing he cannot argue is that they do have a product out on the markets that is demonstrating that they are heading in that direction. The vehiclos may be zero emmission 'per say' but the manufacturing processes are the downside to this by not being zero emmission.
There are more sides to poluting than just CO2, several other elements that he seems to be ignoring which are explained in those pages in the documents i read about.
His 'special fuel' or whatever it is that makes his concept unique i think is irrelevant imo.

It may be a play on words and disecting the processes to suit an adjenda for a common goal but i do believe it is headed in the right direction, just dont think we're quite there yet imo.
