No more copy-cat articulated haulers - Eigh manufactureers fight for escalating ADT sales using surprisingly diverse combinations of features

摘要

Sales of articulated dump trucks in North America grew 44 percent in 2004 and are expected to increase another 15 percent this year. It's not a flash in the pan. Construction Equipment's Universe Studies indicate that the total number of artic trucks in the United States has grown more than 70 percent in ten years, and the number of firms that own them has increased 37 percent. The population of hydraulic excavators has grown faster than ADTs since 1999. Skid-steer loaders have not quite kept pace But the supply of articulated haulers is curious because of the recent decline in brands competing for its growing sales.
