Stats of the Anhultz Callisto
REDACTED
The Anhultz Callisto has finally hit the north american market with the exact same engine family as the Anhultz Dione introduced two years prior. The introduction benefitted Anhultz in multiple ways. Firstly, the Callisto meant another product earning money for the company. Secondly, the usage of identical engines greatly improves spare part availability and thus aids Anhultz in building a name in the newly entered market. Finally, costs are reduced for both the Dione and the Callisto allowing prices to decrease. further boosting sales.
Construction has started on the new Rotterdam plant in hopes of allowing greater production numbers at reduced costs.
The Superkroon, Furos and Dinnerbone projects are still ongoing, but due to the focus on the new vehicle with it’s engine, the Dinnerbone is considerably behind schedule.
This was a problem, because the fairly crudely engineered Mimas was showing a decline in saled, making a replacement of some form necessary. It was meant to release together with the Superkroon but the engine delays made a later release necessary.
At least the really important projects were running on-time…
