Does anyone have a breakdown of the market share of the different brands in Europe & USA- and within those breakdowns, the percentage of the different classes they sell.

I've read somewhere else on this site that the popular European brands are more electronically advanced than their American counterparts. This would effect downtime & repair costs- this could be a possible reason

Also- with increased electronics- increased training would also be a pre-requesite. With having dealers service the equipment rather than in-house tech's or independents, dealerships are in the primary business of selling equipment, and therefore would be in a very good position to sell new equipment constantly.
