Naumann Hobbs Elevates Partnership with Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas for  Southwest Warehouses

PHOENIX – Aug. 27, 2024 – In June 2024, Naumann Hobbs Material Handling (NHMH) transitioned to exclusively offering Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas equipment, including Cat® lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks and Jungheinrich® warehouse products. This strategic shift, following a recent enhanced agreement with Logisnext, establishes NHMH as the sole authorized dealer of Logisnext products in the state of Arizona and southern Nevada, with continued representation in the NHMH Southern California territory.

With nearly 75 years in Arizona, NHMH’s shift to focus solely on Logisnext products underscores its mission and commitment to delivering top-tier material handling solutions across all of its branches in Arizona, California and Nevada.

From pingpong diplomacy to supply chain diplomacy?

There’s a photo from 1971 that John Kent, professor of supply chain management at the University of Arkansas, likes to show. It’s of a shaggy-haired 18-year-old named Glenn Cowan grinning at three-time world table tennis champion Zhuang Zedong, while holding a silk tapestry Zhuang had just given him. Cowan was a member of the U.S. table tennis team who participated in the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan. Story has it that one morning, he overslept and missed his bus to the tournament and had to hitch a ride with the Chinese national team and met and connected with Zhuang.

Cowan and Zhuang’s interaction led to an invitation for the U.S. team to visit China. At the time, the two countries were just beginning to emerge from a 20-year period of decidedly frosty relations, strict travel bans, and trade restrictions. The highly publicized trip signaled a willingness on both sides to renew relations and launched the term “pingpong diplomacy.”

California moves a step closer to requiring EV sales only by 2035

Federal regulators today gave California a green light to tackle the remaining steps to finalize its plan to gradually shift new car sales in the state by 2035 to only zero-emissions models — meaning battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid cars — known as the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule.

In a separate move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also gave its approval for the state to advance its Heavy-Duty Omnibus Rule, which is crafted to significantly reduce smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new heavy-duty, diesel-powered trucks.
