New Model Pricing Changes

Updated: Aug 31, 2021

March/April 2021 update


As I am sure you are aware, the global supply chain is under considerable pressure at the moment, leading to greatly increased component prices, and this has forced us into changing our current pricing structure.


In order to simplify matters, and because we hope this will be a temporary issue, we are reducing all discounts on new models by 5%.


This will apply to new models only (spare parts pricing is unaffected). Any offers received in March, related to confirmed customers and currently under consideration will remain valid until April 10th 2021.


We will implement the discount changes on all new offers made from today. The new discount policy will also apply to any special agreements in regards to stock trucks.


The rapid price increases we have experienced recently in steel, engine, motor and other component parts is highly unusual, if not completely unexpected.


We therefore hope that the market will correct itself once supply chains normalize. When we are able to pass on any savings, we will do so immediately.


The implementation of higher stocking levels in 2020 has allowed us to smooth out some of the disruption caused by Covid-19, components and raw material shortages and now the Suez Canal blockage, but of course we are reliant on our suppliers who are facing major difficulties at the moment.


Thankfully, there does seem some light at the end of the tunnel. We are fortunate that our workforce remains healthy and vigilant, our production levels are increasing monthly, and we are able to report improved delivery times as following:

  1. ELX Standard: 35 weeks (max. 1 hydraulic movement – limited Options)

  2. Other ELX: 40 weeks - ELX standard and non-standard models require different amounts of production time, caused by having two lines with different processes. In you have any doubts please always contact your sales contact.

  3. EGX 120V: 45 weeks.

  4. EHX 80V, GX (VRS and Deutz Stage V) & HX (Stage V): 50 weeks

  5. GX COMPACT 47 weeks – please also check for stock truck availability.

  6. Special models and large capacity trucks (10 tonnes and over) remain by arrangement


Looking further ahead, we remain very positive about our future growth.


We continue to work on new interesting developments, particularly around electric models, and our commitment to further investment in labour and infrastructure remains strong.


In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding and ask that you please get in touch if you have any questions.


We thank you for your continued support for Baumann and look forward to hopefully welcoming you again to Cavaion when circumstances allow.
