I bought GLfau HC diesel machine CPCD35 and I saw the same model from EP. They have the same design, same equipment, but different details, like the floor covering, seats etc. I guess, that the GLfau HC product is realy the same like EP and EP strategy is only to show customers some small differencies, that it´s not HC. But EP is realy HC and everybody knows, that Hangcha is the biggest chinese producer. Therefore I think, that EP strategy is very simple, but efective. HC has very good sales results, it means, that they have good products. So EP - why don´t try to sell these good products with other name and tell customer, that it´s better than HC because of some details more? It´s realy more efective, than-that will be EP producer with some own product range with no experiencies on the market. Check Toyota and BT or Komatsu and OM = realy the same machines, but all profitable. So why it couldn´t work by HC and EP?
