Europe 'troubled but good'

摘要

The European construction equipment industry found 2014 to be a troubled, yet good, year, with sales on the European market growing by 9% compared to 2013, according to CECE (the Committee for European Construction Equipment). It said that exports showed some growth momentum. Behind North America, the European construction equipment market was the second most dynamic region in 2014. Sebastian Popp, economic expert at CECE, said, "This is a positive development, but we have to bear in mind that the good performance was just enough to recover what had been lost in 2013. The market is still more than 40% below the record levels seen in 2007."
