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.
