There is a lot more money invetsed inthe automotive industry and if there was a fuel out there that gives 0% emissions they wouldn't be wasting all the R&D on electric vehicles if they could just adapt an IC engine.

Methane.........from cows.

i'm still hung up on this IC engine that is supposedly 100% zero emissions.
if its an internal combustion engine it has to burn something and therefore it emits something. If its not LPG, gasoline or diesel or even hydrogen cell then what is it? And the only way i can think of to reduce the trucks emissions would be to use the same concept like electric hybrid cars use, a motor to drive a generator to charge a battery pack or drive a hydrogen cell generator like the tesla cars do. The cleanest emission IC engine i know of is a natural gas powered engine and they emit emissions lower than any other engine but its not 100% zero, its close but not zero and that's provided it is perfectly tuned and stays that way.
I know of some guys that developed a small hydrogen generator in cars that use a crude generator to inject hydrogen into the fuel system but that's more for increasing gas mileage than it is for emissions purposes so i doubt this is the mystery fuel.
With todays technology on the markets its either battery, hydrogen cell, LPG or NG, gas, diesel or maybe even refined kerosene (jet fuel), nah i was kidding, not jet fuel ;oD

I'm just drawing a blank here...

Stam, the first thing is the fuel is not hydrogen and it is plenty full available across America or any were else in the world, it is used every day in many different industries.

Yes we are on a fundraising exercise but that's not for on hear. There are many problems with even a hydrogen engine like compression ratios or even as you have pointed out the hydrogen its self. Our fuel is not hydrogen and its no other wonder fuel

Firstly I said it takes 116 hours to produce a truck not that we are going to produce all the components need like fabrication and painting , if you were to take this out we can produce a truck in 42 hours for pre assembly of units and assembly That's two trucks per week on a two man team based on a 48 weak year that 84 trucks per two man team on the 10 ton truck if you have four teams of two that's 198 trucks per year we would have around 15 two man teams in the facility so say an average time for all truck is 96 hours that's 44 units per year and then times that by 15 = 660 truck capacity per year now I'm not saying we will produce 660 trucks per year. Also because how we work we will mainly not have much shipping 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.

@exhalt
Using the numbers you provided and assuming a 40 hour work week and 50 production weeks/year - 2 weeks for employee holidays unless you are in a country that gives employees one month off.
You are able to produce 17.24 units/year at rate of 116/unit for the 10 ton class and 12.5 units/year in the larger class - 160 hour/unit to produce. This is if all goes well in the receipt of all production materials - customs/shipping issues sometimes can cause unforeseen delays especially if you shipping over big bodies of water -(like FDA checks, hurricanes/typhoons etc.) Dealt with these issues when we imported products from Great Britain i.e. Lance Boss side loaders & large capacity (above 15K) front loading and units from Japan - Mitsubishi & Komatsu

At that rate it would take several years to produce 200 units - so sales agents can "earn" big bucks you project. If working just a single 8 hr shift it would take 11.6 to 16 years to produce 200 units - 3 shifts about 4 to 5 years.
Yes you can work multiple shifts but my experience says that the 2nd or 3rd shifts are less productive & produce more quality issues than first shift production.
Just my nickles worth!
But a nickle won't buy you a cup of coffee except in Wall Drugs, Wall, South Dakota.

Good Luck If & When this venture gets off the drawing board - it is late already by a year or two based on your earlier projections..

Exalt your right. All I know about this company of yours is what you have said here and what I can find online which is mainly fundraising, yikes. Using that as judgement I really wouldn't want to be a service provider of yours for the duration of the warranty for fear of unpaid or delayed claims.
There is something to be said for credibility you know.

Zero emissions are real its just your gonna have a hard time refueling it for now unless your in California. Why don't you just come out with it and say you can't release this thing until someone else sets up proper refueling stations or delivery services. This is why you were so excited with that Nikola order.

Toyota is already testing a truck on the road and applying this to forklifts. Your not light years ahead of anyone in that respect actually your behind. They are testing it on there own dollar not using someone else's tech.

OK now i know you might not understand this but you can now run a IC engine with 100% zero emission

A zero emission Perkins Diesel? Pardon me while I take another hit off this crack pipe

That's a fair comment , if you are talking about a large company like the OEM's that have a vice president of this and have a group manager of that. The factory we are to use is in Jebel Ali in Dubai and the new facility we plan to build will cost less than 20 million. You talk about sale support we can rent out using a new system that would allow sales reps top be self employed and earn much more than they would working for a dealer six figure salaries , we can also access suppliers service support like Perkins engines and there are plenty of very good and very competitive service companies out there who can carry out the service work.


We can manufacture a 10ton truck complete from scratch in less than 116 hours that's every thing including fabrication and painting. A laden container handling reach stacker could be done in 160 hours and can be shipped in a standard shipping container no need for a flat rack. We can also test the modular individually meaning we don't need to fully build and strip for shipping.


If we were to have three facilities one in the Middle East , one in Europe and one in North America we can manage all this with just four people in the head office three managers on site and around 150 employees in total, then using self employed people in sales and use service contractors , we could look after the sales and service

@exalt
There you go again. Stam pointed out two of your own statements about you "secret sauce" truck line of the future and you failed to address them by completely changing the subject by talking about other manufactures. Looks like you are following the play book of one of the major political we have in the US.

You are looking at 250 to 300 million to bring a new product line to market like the large lift truck you keep talking about. The factory to build, supply chain, sales parts support, finance people , You keep talking 200 units to rent out. the math does not work out. Where is your factory ,sales support , and service teams located?

Well Hyster Nijmegan is soon going to become unviable because it will not be able to compete with Both Hoist Toyota and Sany that is a fact you can hide behind what ever you like but the fact is with in the next couple of years Nijmegen will be gone as a big truck manufacture. The Hyster hydrogen fuel cell container handling truck will prove to be a white elephant if they ever get it to work.

Now as for the web site you really don't know our company or anything about us

Exalt your on here representing some "brand" that doesn't exist.
You are the one sitting here writing rubbish just look:

exalt
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I'm sure the people who would like to know our trucks will be available for rental in North America from 5.ton - 16 ton before the end of this year. So really people will be able to judge our product for them self they won't need me to say how good they are they will be able to see

With Toyota now doing Hoist container handling equipment,and the growth of Sany in the Middle East and Asia Hyster nijmegen will shut within two years

The exalt website said coming 2014. *it's almost 2019!
Nobody needs to go out of there way to make you look bad you do it all by yourself.

Landoll do small electric trucks we are not in that market, when i visited Godrej they were building Bendi trucks.


No matter what is said you seem to be like most other people who sit on their computers and write a load of rubbish about us.


Like i said the post was deleted why i don't know may be as you know all the answers you can tell US

The Bendi built in India by Godrej was built for Translift in the U.K. Translift was out partner for a while and chose to have their stuff built out of house, we build right here in our plant. If you have bothered to do your research, you would have seen our truck doesn't look like the Godrej truck. Godrej builds the mast they supply with their truck, it is not a liftek. So once again, you are wrong, and have proven you are NOT the expert in the field you want everyone to believe.

And for the record, YOU started the nonsense in this forum by accusing the OEMs of being so threatened by you and "the truth" they had FLA delete your post.
