I think you are right it has been made to enter the market at a lower price than the hydrostatic truck, but so are Maximal, Sany, and Heli all Chinese made trucks. so it still goes if you want a lower cost truck then go for one of these because the Linde will be much dearer. It will see on how the price reflects against Hyster/Yale and Kalmar or the Doosan or Hyundai

Linde moved the production of the 1401 hydrostatic truck to Czech to lower cost. In the KION 20 20 program one of the aims is to make KION the most profitable forklift manufacture it looks like they want to do this by moving production to lower cost manufacturing instead of developing ways to reduce manufacturing costs'. What will be interesting will be the response from Taylor who build a good quality truck for value.

Linde still have not shown any real believe in the truck they have heavily promoted the new R14 - R20 reach truck but have yet to show in a little bit of support for this new truck. the Absence of support leaves the question still open why not
