Raymond distributor Distribuiciones Molina SA has closed the largest battery electric-only deal in Mexican history through a 136-unit deal with Comercial Mexicana SA, a major Mexican supermarket chain.

The class two and three forklifts were ordered following a tender process, which at least Yale participated in.

Many deals in past years have surpassed this one, in terms of the number of forklifts, but never before have so many electric forklifts been bought in a single order by one customer.

I wish a happy holiday season to all readers, and a healthy and prosperous 2003.
