having read about KIONs plans for 2020 and the fact they want a EBIT of double digits i wonder is this something you would want your customers yo know. Are they paying a higher price for you equipment that will do the same as any other forklift. after all they will all move one pallet or material form one point to another.

KION will say that they can do this quicker and at a lower cost with linde but dont other manufactures offer hydrostatic trucks. In the developing markets Baoli aren't hydrostaic so how will they compare.

Are KION being a bit arrogrant to say we will have the highest prices for our Linde trucks premium Brand and the best EBIT because our customers will pay for this.


I have read in our local press in construction machinery middle east that a company plans to have a Middle eastern brand to shake up the market. like what Emirates have done in the Airline industry. Would this effect KION plans
