Jungheinrich raked in EUR1,582 million (USD2,320 million) in truck sales, 5.7% higher than last year.

All the companies in the list saw their sales grow from the year before except for DanTruck-Heden. The Danish manufacturer's sales dropped 5.3% from DKK300 million to DKK284million for 2006/07.

Chinese manufacturers Heli and Hangcha enjoyed the biggest growth in powered industrial truck sales.
