question Desta fork lift = Zetor?

A friend of mine have several Desta fork lifts, the newest one is from 1994. They have a kind of two step gear, powershift of course, and converter.

I see several Things from Zetor on them, like gages, swithers, lights and, of course, the engine. Looks like my 6911 engine... (6901)

So, is Desta a Zetor owned Company or what?

By the way, this is extremly solid and strong fork lifts... They drop'd one of them from the Crane on bord a cargo boat and Down to the pier, from abaut 2 meters over the pier. Only damage was a broken window, because of the Chain that slammed into it...

They are now owned by CZ, which also makes the turbos for Zetor. ČZ a.s. - Basic informations - http://www.czas.cz/?PageId=100&SubId=0&lng=en
John Deere also uses these turbos on their TIER 2 and TIER 3A engines with two valves per cylinder.

In the old days, everyone used local components, but after the fall of socialism, manufacturers went for cheaper import engines like Yanmar. off course a small, high revving Yanmar wont last as long as a 3.5 liter Zetor, but when socialism fell they were suddenly exposed to the free market and had to cut costs...
