Hi you all,

Both Hyster/Fortis and Yale/Veracitor could have been Crown's closest benchmark for their newly coming IC range development. These two US brands employed a traction control system designed by Phoenix International.

Crown also followed this advanced traction control concept from John Deere subsidiary, I can easily imagine.

As Fortis (Fortens) & Veracitor have on board Mazda and GM LP engines, Crown to source their IC engine from John Deere, I guess. This is also good for differentiating Hyster and Yale, their US forerunners.

Let's wait and see.........

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.
