  • Getting Autonomous With Daimler

    Daimler Trucks is creating a global organization focused on putting automated trucks on the road over the next decade. The Autonomous Technology Group will be in charge of building an automated roadmap for the trucks, as well as setting up the appropriate operations infrastructure and network. The new initiative comes right after Daimler announced a $570 million investment into automated trucks at CES in Las Vegas back in January.

    The eventual goal for Daimler has been long-haul trucks with Level 4 autonomy, or vehicles that can drive themselves with only optional human intervention. The trucks would only travel between defined hubs, such as from a warehouse to a facility, without the expectation that humans would need to take over the steering wheel. Other companies have already begun testing Level 4 trucks; Einride earlier this month began testing its T-Pod truck in Sweden.

  • Canada's Forest Products Sector Confirms Support For Notre Dame Reconstruction Effort

    On May 15th Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered Canadian support to France for the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was damaged by a fire in April of this year.  The announcement was made outside of the iconic monument and called out Canada’s wood products and steel sectors as natural partners for such a rebuild. 
     
    In his letter to French President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Trudeau pledged the commitment of support from the Canadian Steel Producers Association and Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), citing the quality and integrity of products sourced from Canadian forests and mills.
     
    “The world was transfixed by the devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral last month”, noted FPAC President and CEO, Derek Nighbor.  In partnership with the Prime Minister, and our friends in the steel industry, we would be honoured if Canada’s forest sector can play a role in restoring and returning this piece of history to the world,” he added.
