first off i'd like to ask you...
wheres your miracle lift? the one you say is going to change the material handling market as you claim here?
before you come in touting this nonsense you should think about that before you go on promoting something that doesn't work well because of inferior technology and the cost of keeping it up.

Here in the USA
I've seen way to many companies go down this path only to revert back from automation to manual labor employee's that are much less costly in the long run. People are catching on to this trend to push full automation forcing millions of people out of work and companies realizing the cost of the grossly misrepresented technology and then the cost of maintenance repairs and upkeep skyrocketing. We are decades away from anything like that and frankly speaking automation will never fully take over ever.
As far as hyster and the hydrogen cell? that never caught on because of what i previously said, it doesn't work, is way too costly, nobody wants that. MCFA went down that road 10yrs ago when it first came out and quickly realized it was not viable enough to pursue so they scaled it back quite a bit and they moved on to the new standards for diesels with DPF systems and electrics. In fact most mfg's have gone down this more reasonable path now, and of course along with that there is the required special training for tech's to be qualified to work on these systems. Also many companies have toyed with the prospect of using PNG systems but that too in itself was found to be very expensive and just didn't take hold in the market that well.
This global initiative being pushed out by the WTO is a bad idea and only serves one purpose, making the top officials $$$ while the lower workers suffer through failures one after another only to be laid off IF this plan succeeds. This is why diesel and gas and LPG products are not going anywhere anytime soon, they will be here long after your 10yr prediction sir.

Before you gain any credibility in anyone's eyes you should produce your past offerings before bringing anything new product related or otherwise to the table.
