The point I'm trying to make is that if an engine package passes the test for automotive emissions, it automatically passes the off road test as well. Any engine package certified for on road use is able to be used in anything.

Since testing is so expensive I would think that we'll see more & more automotive engines in equipment (maybe boats too), and since it's the entire engine "package" that gets certified, that would include the electronics.

I understand that PSI is the manufacture of record - but PSI doesn't manufacture the components it installs. If you check the current Hysters & Yales with the 2.4L Vortec engine, the LP system it uses is direct from the auto industry in Europe. They use a lot more LP cars over there than we do.

I know the other forklift makes aren't using automotive LP systems, but I suspect that as emission rules get stricter & costs get more expensive & pricing gets more competitive, the automotive market of engine packages will become more appealing to forklift manufacturers.

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
