Today I saw a truck on the Autobahn, its trailer had exactly this GE-logo on the side, nothing else. :wow: Truck and trailer had German plates, from Herne (HER). I'm wondering, what stuff General Electric is selling here. Obviously no automotive stuff, as I've never spotted GE-parts at European built cars and -thank goodness!- no household equipment. These primitive stone-age kitchen-ovens and washing machines woulde absolutely unsalable here.

Probably lighting products. I think GE bought the Hungarian lightbulb industry after the end of communist rule. :)

P.S. Back to the topic car.

@rljuna2: in Tofino, the Canadian surfer's village, you still can spot some T2's, mostly Westfalias, as appropriate surfer-mobiles. In combination with high priced sunglasses and greasy, unwashed long hair, it belongs to a complete and correct outfit.
Sure, more T3's, but some T2's are still alive. Within one day I saw a 1970-version, a 1971, a 1972 and a 1973+. So I could explain my wife the exact details - but she wasn't really interested.
Unfortunately the surfer-freaks are no car-enthusiasts :/ Mostly their cars and vans (often GMC-vans from the 70ies, too) are quite rotten. And their performance was really weak. We haven't seen anyone riding a wave, altough there were some large ones. They only sat on their boards and came out after half an hour or so.

Stone-age? What about this?

@carcrasher: mmmhh, it belongs to that, too. Too big, way too much water- and electricity-consumption. Very backwarded technology, compared with European machines. One of the reasons, why in the USA nad Canada the average engergy- and water-consumption per head is double time as much higher than in Europe.

General Electric do make appliance such as refrigrators, stovetop, and kitchen blenders as such. It is not only for the lighting divison, but other things as well. It is really a big global corporation. ;)

They also make medical equipment and other specific stuff that can be found here in Europe. Indeed that make is rather unknown on the retail consumer market.

GE also has hands in railways, aviation, and is one of the world's largest producers of wind turbines.

Since a few days/weeks GE is coming up with a PR-campaign over here. Never noticed that before. http://www.werbesprech.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/general-electric.jpg Translated "We are the CO in COnscience". Hmmm...
