Most recently by the financial turmoil sweeping the globe, has been leading the international trend of the European heavy truck heavy truck giant constantly laying off employees and cut-off of the news. Avoid scams. Keep posted and don’t be a victim.
2008 12 16, Sweden Volvo Truck Group headquarters in Gothenburg, announced first quarter 2009 will be discontinued 20 to 25 days to avoid a drop in demand caused by product mix. Earlier, the German truck maker Man (MAN) Company announced major layoffs for temporary workers and cut production. Mercedes-Benz trucks were announced job cuts in Canada and the United States, 2300.
Chinese auto companies have gradually felt the tremendous power of this financial crisis. In the heavy truck market, the independent brand of electric control and high-pressure EGR Track Product spreads win one or two million in full swing, not to mention the high price of imported heavy card. The face of tough international market, the European heavy truck giant can turn "crisis" into "opportunities" in China for more effective business support?
Previous years, this time, each company will announce a new year of market objectives and development plans. But this year, most businesses still wait until. Interest rates, exchange rates frequently adjusted bailout plan were introduced, the situation changes so rapidly, so that hundreds of battles in the European heavy truck giant become more cautious than ever.
Benz trucks in China public relations manager, told reporters that Wang Hui, Mercedes-Benz on the Chinese market and customers’ long-term commitment is consistent. Slowdown in the current market circumstances, the Mercedes-Benz will continue to provide Chinese customers with high quality products and services. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz that the Chinese government to stimulate domestic demand, increasing investment in initiatives such as the opportunities for the commercial vehicle market, promising Chinese market, long-term, sustainable development.
Insiders commented that, compared with the domestic heavy truck, imported products have a distinct performance advantage. However, due to the special needs of our commercial vehicles, heavy trucks have been no imports of high-end open market, even as imports of passenger cars did not bring in huge profits for multinational corporations. At present, this situation has not changed.
Hard for many years in China, another giant of heavy trucks in Europe?? Volvo to the Chinese market showed cautious optimism. President of Volvo Trucks in China, said Lu Bo days, despite the international financial crisis, but the driving force for China's economic development still exist, with the timely measures taken by the relevant market better than in Europe and the United States. He said that both in good times or bad, both for China Volvo Cooperation Partner support, and will not lay off in China.
As the industry leader in commercial vehicles in Europe, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo is also China's imports of high-end heavy truck market leader, in recent years has annual sales of more than in 1000. Rely on much weaker than the company's own brand dealer network, can achieve such results is not easy, to keep victories is their primary goal. Man speaking for the company, but the adverse economic situation it saw an opportunity. Man Fischer, vice president of China, told reporters that the financial turmoil, China is likely in 2009 a temporary economic downturn. However, the Man for 2010 is optimistic about China's economic situation. On the one hand, the 4 trillion yuan in central government investment projects, traffic, transportation, logistics industry is the key; the other hand, the Chinese yuan to upgrade the user's purchasing power. By expanding dealer network to provide users of financial services and other measures, Mann hopes the Chinese market in 2009 heavy truck sales of more than 500 in 2010, and strive to reach 1,000 units in China imports high-end heavy truck market share from the current 8% to 20%.
China called the world's largest truck market, regardless of existing capacity or growth potential is very attractive. At present, the global economy are shrouded in shadow of financial turmoil, the Chinese market for multinational auto giants significantly increased the importance of the European heavy truck giant too. Although China's own brand of technical level of heavy truck brand products in Europe there is still a gap, but their progress over the years is obvious to all. The industry believes that both the Chinese heavy truck market prospects are also notable features. This feature is changing for the right to speak; the Chinese heavy truck industry has gradually become rules of the game makers. Only able to adapt to the rules of Chinese enterprises to share the fruits of victory.

In the global financial crisis, China's heavy truck industry is facing the most strong market impact in history, many users are forced to report truck stop, a sharp decline in market demand, but as the beginning of large-scale infrastructure and fuel tax implementation, some experts predict that 2009 will be the second half of the Chinese heavy truck market is expected to rebound. Then, the face of the current severe situation, how companies can survive the winter; future market rebound when the business first opened, how can the situation? In the face of this issue, China's heavy truck manufacturers have thought they were talking to the product. Recently, the China Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Auto, Fukuda, SAIC Iveco Hongyan, Valin successively announced their new 09 models, can be predicted that in 2009 China's heavy truck market, a war broke out did not smoke.

HeatSponge SIDEKICK Warning, Finally Revealed: Boiler Room Equipment, Inc
Fisher Capital on Boiler Room Equipment, Inc, is very proud to finally unveil the SIDEKICK line of condensing boiler economizers for commercial and industrial hot water boilers. The Sidekick has been in development for nearly two years and represents an evolutionary development of high-efficiency installations in the boiler industry. The SIDEKICK is a warning game changer the likes of which have not been experienced since the introduction of the first condensing boilers. The SIDEKICK offers the ability to integrate condensing boiler efficiencies to conventional boilers on a new or retrofit basis. The SIDEKICK allows a customer with a conventional boiler system the ability to realize condensing efficiency gains that otherwise would require the existing boiler to be demolished and replaced with a new condensing boiler. Conventional, non-condensing boilers can now realize the efficiency benefits of outdoor air temperature reset controls and lower circulating hot water loop temperatures. Sidekicks also allow for duel fuel condensing applications utilizing conventional boilers. The SIDEKICK features all stainless internal construction, stainless tubes and fins, and an insulated outer casing. Inspection and clean out ports make periodic maintenance and cleaning easy.
The efficiency of the SIDEKICK goes far beyond simply energy recovery to the ultra-productive process in which it is selected and designed. Heat recovery for condensing applications introduces a significant number of variables that makes a catalog-approach to equipment selection nearly impossible. Boilerroom Equipment has developed a new method of quantifying heat recovery, the Recovery Rate, and integrated this into the design. The incorporation of the Recovery Rate variable allows a customer to custom tailor the level of heat recovery and cost directly to the requirements of each specific application. We define this new concept in heat recovery design as 3D Modularity, for modular construction in three dimensions. Based on a "Mass-Customization" approach to product development, Bruce will consider all of the application design constraints and will design a SIDEKICK optimized to meet the exact performance requirements at the most competitive price. Bruce has been given the ability to consider all aspects of the heat exchanger design relative to the price of the equipment and generate a fully priced proposal all in real-time; a software and engineering accomplishment that added over one thousand hours of coding and heat transfer modification to Bruce's core program. This means Bruce can handle all inquiries and generate proposals in real time by himself. The near elimination of sales and support overhead and significantly reduced project execution overhead requirements the Bruce software provides allows us to offer a product superior to any before it at pricing and responsiveness levels no conventional competitor could hope to match.
Bruce will go on-line live on Monday December 21st with full public access to the Sidekick software. BEI will display the SIDEKICK in public at the upcoming AHR Exposition in Orlando, booth 3126. We will also have other HeatSponge models on display and based on the popularity in Chicago last year will bring the HeatSponge NASCAR Late Model stock car back for another display appearance.

"We believe that this acquisition will allow both LBX and SCM to achieve our common long-term global growth strategies," said Kensuke Shimizu, President of Sumitomo Construction Machinery.
Since its formation, LBX has passed several growth milestones, including the creation of a corporate campus in Lexington, KY that includes a world-wide parts distribution center, product testing grounds, training facilities and testing and service bays. Additionally, the Link-Belt® excavator products have evolved to meet the needs of today's marketplace, including the introduction of new models such as the Link-Belt® 360 X2 Rubber Tire material handling excavator, which was unveiled at the ISRI Convention last week in San Diego, CA.
"We look forward to working very closely with SCM in the development of future products and our dealer network to further expand our position in the marketplace," Harvell said.
The management team of LBX will remain in place.

Fisher Capital Management: Government Bond Markets Global Outlook Part2
Fisher Capital Management: Government Bond Markets Global Outlook Part 2 - Our position remains unchanged; any existing exposure to bonds should be further reduced in favor of US & Euro equities.
The European Central Bank appears to share this view, although it has warned that the recovery “is likely to remain uneven”, and has kept short-term rates at very low levels. The bond markets have therefore continued to receive considerable support from the economic background and the actions of the central bank.
Fisher Capital Management Seoul, South Korea: However, these factors have been much less important than the fears about the debt problems in Greece and in other weaker members of the euro-zone. After considerable prevarication, due primarily to strong German opposition to a bail-out; an agreement has been reached amongst the member countries that, in conjunction with the IMF, they will provide support for Greece if this becomes necessary to prevent a defaulton its sovereign debts.
But the details of the agreement are very vague, and there is certainly no guarantee that the country can carry out its promises to introduce significant reductions in spending levels to reduce the size of its debts. The agreement has helped the country to issue a further ¤5 billion bond; but it was forced to offer an interest rate of 5.9% on a seven-year bond, 325 basis points above the equivalent German bund, and that issue has subsequently moved to a substantial discount. Conditions have also been made worse by the downgrade in Portugal’s credit rating, and so the pressures on the bond markets are continuing.
Fisher Capital Management Seoul, South Korea: The gilt edged market has coped fairly well so far with the latest weakness in the bond market, an inadequate response in the latest Budget to the debt problems in the UK, and a warning from the Fitch rating agency that the government’s timetable for reducing the fiscal deficit was “frankly too slow”, and that the country’s credit rating was at risk. The economic recovery remains very slow, and the Bank of England is holding short-term interest rates close to zero, so the market is receiving some support; but in all the circumstances it is perhaps surprising that it has managed to perform so well.
Fisher Capital Management Seoul, South Korea: The economic background in the UK remains depressed, but is slowly improving. Retail sales bounced back strongly; the public sector continued its recruitment programmed; and there has been a pickup in activity in both the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy.
It was not surprising therefore that the Bank of England kept short-term interest rates unchanged at the latest meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee and even suggested that it would be prepared to reactivate its quantitative easing programmed if this proved to be necessary. But this may not be enough to sustain gilt edged prices at current levels.
Fisher Capital Management Seoul, South Korea: The latest Budget statement is forecasting a slightly lower fiscal deficit of £167 billion in the 2009/10 fiscal year, and a halving of the deficit by 2013/14; but there is considerable skepticism in the markets about the growth assumptions underlying the figures, and about the willingness of the politicians to address the real problems
involved in reducing the deficit. If there is no credible plan to achieve this reduction, the country may well lose its AAA credit rating. Prospects have therefore become even more uncertain, and a move to higher yield levels seems unavoidable.
Fisher Capital Management Seoul, South Korea: The Japanese bond market is slightly weaker over the past month. It is likely that this year, for the first time, bond issuance may provide greater support for the fiscal deficit than tax revenues. This has already led to a downgrade on Japanese public debt by Standard and Poor’s, and with new bond issuance this year estimated to reach ¥44,300 billion, and to reach ¥55,300 billion by 2013, further downgrades seem likely. Japanese institutional investors are used to financing massive deficits, but it seems unlikely that deficits of this size can be adequately financed at present yield levels. Prospects for the Japanese market therefore remain unattractive.
