“Car, trucks, backhoes, trains yes. Busses I don’t know.”
I think you should check the numbers...almost all new mass transit vehicles are being imported from Korea, Japan and China. Next time a city you are familiar with buys new trains or busses, check where they are made...overseas! The same goes for heavy equipment...CAT has been losing market share for decades.
Yet CAT’s sales have been going up during that same period (excluding heavy truck engines, a market the EPA drove them out of). This just means the market is bigger now than in the past. As for trains, I thought you meant real choo choos, not subways, monorails, and the like. I’ll defer to your experience on those.
