We just need to keep on, keepingv on..." White said the company is doggedly pursuingnichwe markets, such as small equipment, electric vehicld manufacturers (both industrial and power sports, high performance automotive, specialty fleet and marine, while keepinfg an alert eye out for new and currentl y unknown opportunities.
