Cheers Thank you , what would be good is if people were to make predictions then look back and see how far out we all were. here what i think Uni carrier will take over two big manufactures, Sammons will take Over NACCO and Goldman Sachs and KKR will finally Sell KION to a different chinese company who will then become a top three world manufacture. Can see Linde pulling out of big trucks and only going up to 9,000 kg with in the next two years

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
