i think in the future North america will look to more of a rental market rather than buying.It gives the customer a much better service with out extra cost and he can see up front what the cost will be over the contract. Wants this happens i think the markets will close up in numbers. It is known that more larger trucks are sold in North america than Europe because of the lumber industry and heavy industry in the north american markets. Warehouse trucks and smaller forklifts do more in europe than north america because of one reason rental.


I think over the next 5 years majors changes will happen in both Europe and North America.These will be small markets to Asia this will be the main market in the globe with china leading followed by India and then countries like Thailand Malaysia ect

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
