8月23日，日立和迪尔宣布他们的合资企业已经结束。此前双方就合资企业达成了制造和营销协议，包括以迪尔品牌在美洲地区制造和销售日立建筑设备产品。

自2022年2月开始，日立将继续扩大其位于美国亚利桑那州的ACME批量租赁业务并以其Premium Rental品牌开展经销商租赁业务。

ACME 已经在北美经营日立挖掘机的批量租赁业务。未来ACME将扩大与租赁公司客户和日立经销商的批量租赁业务。

此外，日立将直接向其在北美的经销商提供机器以提供高级租赁服务。经销商还将提供二手设备。

ACME最近将其高空作业平台租赁业务出售给了United Rentals公司。目前尚不清楚Premium Rental租赁服务是否仅由北美或整个美洲的经销商提供。

日立表示“展望未来，除了扩大ACME与区域性的和各国的租赁公司的交易外，我们还将与日立建机的经销商网络合作，以扩大租赁业务。”

原文如下：

Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Construction Machinery will pursue growth in the Americas rental market under its own brandfollowing the ending of its joint venturewith US-based John Deere in the region.

Hitachi said it will continue to expand the Arizona-based ACME wholesale rental business in which it first invested in 2018 and after February 2022 - when the JV with Deere ends - it will add dealer-rental operations under the ‘Premium Rental’ brand that its dealers also use in Europe.

ACME is already operating a wholesale rental business in North America with Hitachi excavators. In the future – according to materials released as part of the Deere announcement - ACME will expand the wholesale rental business with both rental company customers and Hitachi dealers.

In addition, Hitachi will supply machines directly to its dealers in North America to create the Premium Rental service. These dealers will also offer used equipment through a ‘Premium Used’ business.

ACME recently sold its aerial platform rental business to United Rentals -see story here.

It is not clear if the Premium Rental service will be offered by dealers only in North America or throughout the Americas.

Hitachi said; “Going forward, in addition to expanding ACME’s transactions with regional and national rental companies, we will expand Hitachi Construction Machinery’s unique rental business in cooperation with its dealer network.”

On 23 August Hitachi and Deere announced that their joint venture had come to an end. The JV had encompassed manufacturing and marketing agreements including the manufacture and selling of Hitachi construction equipment in the Americas under the Deere brand.
