This truck will not be replacing the current hydrostat. It's purpose is to come in at a significantly lower price point to open the customer base for heavy trucks in less aggressive environments where a hydrostat isn't always needed. The quality and standards I have been told will be no different to the 1401 hydrostat. The first trucks will be arriving in the next few months and some demo's are now in process with very positive results.

The lack of 'shouting' is not through lack of belief in the truck, their passion was unmistakable. KION are serious and with their resources from what I've seen, this will be a good addition to the marketplace.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
