Stepping in for Angie Kay – who is taking a well-earned break from our editor’s desk – the story that catches my eye in this week's Forkliftaction News concerns the decision, by the California Air Resources Board, to drop its planned zero-emission forklift regulation.

Resulting from the settlement of a legal case between it and the Western Propane Gas Association, the outcome means that – at least for the time-being – large spark-ignited forklifts may continue to be sold and used across the state.

In addition to this development, this week we feature our usual mix of new product releases, the latest industry news, and more.
