Through the agreement, HCE intends to supply excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, motor graders, and forklifts and strive to meet customers & #39; needs in that part of the world with focus on diverse solutions and educational sessions provided to teams in charge of sales, services, and parts.
