Hi Wiggy


Thanks for the input, i think in North America last year , electric forklift sales under 5,000kg over took Diesel sales for the first time so customers are moving towards electric on smaller forklifts

The performance difference between some types of electric forklifts and diesel forklifts in the smaller truck range is now marginal this wil have a big effect in future sales.
