Remember that just because it's built in China, it's not another generic low quality Chinese truck. Chinese manufacturing if done correctly can build some of the most intricate high quality products in the world, look at Apple for example. Or look at Audi, I doubt an A4 made in China is any different to A4 made in Germany/Czech.

The truck will be a league above Maximal, Heli, Sany as it has the Linde brand and engineering team behind it. The KION brand Baoli in those markets would be aimed at that level of competition, but even then it has KION standards to uphold so it's hard to compare.

I believe that it'll be priced at Hyster /Yale with the aim of beating the current industry leader Taylor in every possible metric.

We all look forward to some side by side benchmarking!
