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.........
