Looks like i'm shocked and surprised never thought a Japanese company would sell to the Chinese but Looks like KION have bought Unicarrier.

What they now do will be a challenge could be a large benefit to both Hyundai and Doosan but who is next and how will this change the market. Less independent manufactures and KION and Toyota have over 75% of market turnover will this effect choice and prices.


Still think there are a couple more shocks to come from both KION and Toyota. KION still need to strengthen in North America while Toyota have nothing really in the Big truck market. NACCO will be the next big challenge who out of these two will get them and then will the other go for Kalmar., and were will this leave Briggs


Then who else might go komastu look shot Clark will struggle some of the Chinese will go into bigger Chinese companies Mitts and CAT might look at other options but for now just looks like the big two will try to dominate

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
