Hi John


Do you think this is because of CROWN dedication to electric trucks and they don't look at other areas they are not strong in that they can produce what you say and others say is a better product. The C5 LPG truck is their only entry in this market and this was maybe it help them get customers who wanted a IC truck as well as a electric truck.


You can put many comments about the industry but what you can't say is that CROWN are not the bench mark others should try to beat when looking at developing warehouse equipment.

When I have spoken to people about design and they mention CROWN they don't say premium they say quality

If you can't beet CROWN then don't develop the product
