Users Voice / Preference trend for 1, 2 & 3 ton IC trucks.

For the 1 , 2 & 3 ton IC fork-trucks I am trying to compare my feelings to others - leading towards the future. What sort of OE trends (be it: technical, environmental, vehicle, company, etc...) would you see need to happen for these class trucks? I am hearing the 2012 Emission Ctrl Regulation could stir many changes (especially in Japan market) be it transmissions going IVT or CVT direction or drastic changes to diesel engines. I am leaning towards the hybrid bandwagon as this technology looks to expand once they get past the cost issue. Look forward to feedback.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
