Relationship between Bell Equipment and John Deere to change.
John Deere’s launch of its own range of articulate dump trucks (ADT’s), and Bells indication that it will continue manufacturing ADT’s, has resulted in the possibility that Deere’s shareholding in Bell (currently 31.59%) may reduce. The current agreement gives Deere the exclusive right to distribute and support Bell-designed ADT’s in certain markets, including North and South America. It does seem likely that Bell will continue to be Deere’s dealer for forestry and construction equipment in Southern Africa. Source: www.bellequipment.com
