Kenworth Truck Co., Kirkland, Wash., took its Kenworth T680 Advantage truck on the road this summer as part of its “Efficiency in Motion” tour, which visited numerous Kenworth-dealer-hosted events throughout the United States and Canada to show the truck’s fuel efficiency and cost savings. The company completed the tour Oct. 1.
New Bremen, Ohio-based Crown Equipment Corp. opened a Crown Lift Trucks sales and service location in Wichita, Kan. The 22,000-square-foot Crown Lift Trucks facility brings customers an enhanced connection with Crown for their material handling product needs as well as expanded customer service offerings and opportunities for technician and operator training, the company says. Crown Equipment Corp. also relocated its Thailand head office to a larger, more strategically placed facility in the high-growth eastern seaport area of Bangkok. At more than three times the size of Crown’s previous Thailand headquarters, the new facility gives Crown extra space to accommodate a significantly expanded workshop area and spare parts holdings. In addition, the relocation positions Crown to better support its growing customer base in terms of capacity and service response times and enables the company to implement a number of new environmental initiatives, it says.
