  • Volvo Trucks Introduces New Trucks

    Volvo Trucks is introducing four new trucks, with a strong focus on the driver environment, safety and productivity. “We are really proud of this big forward-looking investment. Our aim is to be our customers’ best business partner by making them even more competitive and help them attract the best drivers in an increasingly tough market,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. The four heavy-duty trucks; Volvo FH, FH16, FM and FMX, represent about two thirds of Volvo Trucks’ deliveries.

    An expected growing demand for transport is putting pressure on the availability of skilled drivers worldwide. In Europe, for example, estimates show that around 20 percent of all driver jobs are vacant. To help customers recruit and retain the best drivers, Volvo Trucks has focused strongly on developing the new trucks to make them safer, more efficient and more attractive working tools for qualified drivers.

  • Second Harvest launches Canada-wide Task Force to guarantee food supply to vulnerable Canadians

    Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food rescue organization, announced March 18th the launch of the Food Rescue Canadian Alliance (FRCA) Task Force, a national network that will support food redistribution efforts across the supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Task Force will work to make food available to organizations and reach populations that are in acute need. Led by Second Harvest, the Task Force consists of national leaders and includes collaboration between the food industry, non-profits, and government. Members include businesses like Loblaw Co. Ltd. and Sysco, and charities like Breakfast Club of Canada, Salvation Army and food banks.

    “In times like these, vulnerable community members need our support the most,” said Lori Nikkel, CEO of Second Harvest. “With over 60,000 non-profit organizations in Canada supporting people, we must work together – there is no organization that can do this alone.”

    Second Harvest recently completed a national mapping project in partnership with Value Chain Management International which identified over 60,000 Canadian organizations that provide food to vulnerable populations. The Task Force will work together to support tens of thousands of community food programs across the country who are struggling to access food for their program participants.

  • Why 3D Parametric Architecture And 3d Printing Is About To Boom

    “Big box store.” It’s a pejorative term for a place where you shop for everyday items. You don’t go to the big-box store to find distinctive, quality products. A big-box purchase fills a need but isn’t likely to be the kind of thing you boast about to your friends. A big-box purchase is dull.

    “Dull” also describes the big box building itself. And not just the big-box retail sites. Big-box everything. Office buildings. Schools. Government centers. Big box is tired. It’s common. It’s mundane. It’s boring.
