Good Sign?

摘要

As a sign that building activities are beginning to pick up, makers of front-discharge mixer trucks-perhaps the most construction-specific of any vehicle type-are actively assembling glider kits and some all-new trucks, or planning to. Terex Advance says that it soon will activate a reconfigured line that will make trucks redesigned for easier servicing, and is hiring workers to staff its plant in Fort Wayne, Ind. Indiana Phoenix in nearby Avilla has been busily building glider kits, and has begun producing all-new Continental-brand trucks powered by Navistar MaxxForce diesels. Oshkosh Truck remains active with its front-discharge products and has powered one test unit with a Cummins Westport ISL-G gas engine.
