Unlike our quarterly ius, with their strong themes that provide a launch gad for a few vague musings on the subject at hand, or are published frequently enough to allow some topical ‘comment, the Annuals feature all the major ‘developments that have occurted in the components Industry over the past 12 months. So how do youbegin ‘drawing conclusions from 55 disparate articles covering the latest innovations in Ergonomics and Styling Engines, Powertrain, Fluid Power and Electronics? Beyond a few unscientific - if not groundless ~ ‘observations about the changing nature of off-hignway. ‘design, based on the increasing or decreasing size of ‘ach section in comparison with previous yeas, there's not a great deal to say. However, atthe risk of singling ‘out three advertisers above others, I was pleased to see that Dane, Haldex and ZF have all used the Annual to promote their hybrid-driveline offerings, enabling those ‘OEMS that are anxious to provide their customers with a fuel-saving option to do so, without either party aking a risk on new and relatively unproven technology. ‘We've been hearing about hybrid technology for years, wit little real action, before a spate of models introduced about two yeat began bein 0.

In the week or so before we went to press, Hyundai revealed its rew hybrid excavator, which will initially be restricted to the domestic ‘market before attention turns to the west. Even in the materials handling industry, the same applies, with Mitsubishi's Grendia EX hybrid forklift following, 2 similar strategy in Japan, ‘So when will we see these machines routinely gracing the showrooms of dealers in Europe and the USA? Perhaps ConExpo, held in Las Vegas, 22-26 March 2011, will provide a clearer idea (p182 provides more details of that exhibition), And later in the yea, Beijing's BICES show (p178) could well be the place to see even more hybrid developments from domestic and international OEMS alike.
