The North American market doesn't like the idea of a forklift that has such a high initial buy in, even of it does have a low cost of ownership, My guess is that linde is releasing a torque converter truck because they want the #1 spot, the only way they are going to grow is by breaking into the North American market and emerging markets like china, they only way they are going to do THAT, is if they have a truck with a more competitive initial buy in, but that's just my opinion
