I don't know wether to laugh or cry, possibly cry with laughter..now your self proclaimed deadline is here you are saying " and just for the record what I ment was our technology. Would be revealed in April" so no super truck will be seen sat on its wheels powered by its ammonia hybrid power plant lifting max weight 40' containers 6 high, ok w ello I am a little disappointed.
"And just for the record" you said "are I know because wagon drivers are smarter than forklift drivers" (your typos not mine)
I said that the skills required to safely transport, handle and refuel trucks with ammonia were skills not held by lift truck engineers or operators. Nowhere did I say, imply or suggest that "these people would not be able to learn new skills needed" those are your words not mine!
Yes indeed I could have said "at the moment forklift engineers and forklift operators would need retraining to be able to handle the ammonia in a safe manner" but then I didn't need to it was you who should have sad it rather than saying "wagon drivers are smarter than lift truck drivers"!!!!
It is hardly surprising that the people developing your system, (I assume you will have the ip), have encouraged you to go the ammonia route as you are funding their r&d! Any as always loads of "probably", "some" etc in their to give you an escape route.
You don't sit, or haven't admitted sitting, on the HY board so you don't know the why's and where forms of HY business, short or long term. I am not going to speculate.

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
