Well i'm Glad you are successful,but being succesful at distribution is one thing setting up a manufacture is another. As for knocking KION i'm not knocking them just pointing some things i have noticed. Its other people that look at these in a different way. Its how you interoperate this.

Now i could say are you Knocking our project but i won't all i will say is yes we will have a couple of trucks based in Saudi later this year , yes we have our new facility in Saudi that will start production later this year , yes the new rental company and service plus will be ready for mid October... so thanks for the concern we are now doing OK.

By the way i take you don't read the press in the Middle East we feature quite well in this and as this is where the product has had the best support from Government and local companies this is where we will start. But don't worry we will be coming to Europe next year and as we deal direct we will be very competitive on price ,

And we can offer a 16 ton fully cab 1250 Laod center with the MTU4R1000 engine for under Euro 105,000 so i think we will be OK on this side as well. Because of this i don't need to knock the competition they can do that them self's quite well and don't need my help on this why would i knock a product that uses the same engine as us. The point i have made is that in my opinion KION don't seem to be the company they were four or five years ago. And in fact the 1401 with a MTU 4R100 engine would be a good truck if not a bit pricey. The hole piont this was making is KION should never of shut Merthyr they should have made the 1401 more competitive on price rather than just look and say this is the best sell truck we will do the same. And i have herd that some Management inside KION even agree now that shutting merhtyr was a mistake


I would also say we did make a mistakes talking about this project to early , and since then we don't mention it people like you keep showing your concern so we like to keep you up dated

But don't say or you are a Middle East Based company what do you guys know about building forklifts all the suppliers are top quality like MTU, Perkins engines Rexroth Boch Transmission and hydraulics
