we won't talk about how we run our engines because of our IP. I will say that they run on ammonia and they are 100% zero emission.


Now Hyster Yales is my opinon, Kalmar and Kone Cranes are not small companies they are both major companies in the larger truck market and you might say that they would jointly control over 60% of the container handling market. Yet they see the only way they can servive is to merge.

Now KION predict by 2027 76% of the materials handling market will be electric as against IC engine power. Hyster Yale are spending around $5 million a month on the development of hydrogen fuel cells and beleive the market for Hydrogen fuel cell trucks will be a round 160,000 per year by 2027.

Now if we were to take a 3 ton counter balance forklift, the Lithium iron battery would cost between $4,800 - $6,000. a Hydrogen fuel cell for the same truck would cost around $15,000. You would have very simular drives and other parts.

Now it might be your and every one's else opinion that Hyster Yale are in fact correct and their beleive of a 160,000 units is low. This is OK every one is entitled to their own opinion.You don't even say your opinion on hyster yale.

But on the Fuel cell you will also need a refueling system the cost of a 1 pump refueling system cost around $2.5 Million. then you have the hydrogen storage.


Now there are people on here who say i'm just trolling Hyster yale to these peopel i ask OK this is my opinion do you argree or do you have your own opinion that backs up Hyster Yale.


I can't see one of all the people who critise me on here sharing their own opinion on Hyster Yale, They will just say like triumphrider well hyster Yale have many products and produce thousands of units per year. Now they might have done this in 2019 but in 2022 they won't
