Linde have always claimed to be a premium product and have always charged a premium for this product.

Now with the 1411 and the HT 2 ton - 3 ton truck looking to go into the North American market how can they claim they are premium and say a Heli another Chinese company is not. Toyota sell TC and hydrostatic trucks at the same price the use many of the same components unlike Linde with the HT. You would never see Rolls Royce competing with ford.


KION is totally different from Linde KION have many brands which Linde is one in different markets so they are different in what they are


Linde is losing direction in ware it is in warehousing it is behind the likes of Junghienrich in IC trucks it is behind Toyota and in Big trucks its not even in the market , Now until some one can come up with a reason why it is in the market for big truck that says they build just as many big trucks as the three companies i mentioned they are not really in this market.
