Hitachi Names Brandt New Dealer For Forestry Products

The Brandt Group of Companies has made a major product-line announcement; they have been named a Hitachi forestry products dealer effective May 9, 2019.

Hitachi's purpose-built forestry products will be a strong complement to Brandt's full-line John Deere offering and is a natural fit, as both product lines are designed and manufactured through a joint venture – Deere-Hitachi Specialty Products (DHSP) – in Langley, BC.

"This is an exciting day for Brandt and a big win for Hitachi equipment owners." says Brandt President and CEO, Shaun Semple. "Hitachi's strong forestry lineup is highly-compatible with our existing John Deere offering, so loggers currently operating Hitachi equipment will be able to come directly to Brandt for unparalleled customer support from Day One!"

FortisBC partners with TransLink to move its natural gas fleet to 100 per cent RNG by 2024

TransLink and FortisBC today announced a partnership that will source Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) for TransLink's natural gas bus fleet. TransLink is now the first public transportation authority in Canada to use RNG, a certified carbon-neutral fuel, to help fuel its natural gas powered buses.

"TransLink is a model for transit authorities and fleet operators across the province for making the switch to low-carbon fuels," said Douglas Stout, vice-president, market development and external relations, FortisBC. "Compressed natural gas vehicles, which make up roughly a fifth of TransLink's bus fleet, have close to 21 per cent fewer emissions with a 50 per cent reduction in fuel costs versus diesel. RNG could offer the same savings while further reducing emissions by an additional 80 per cent versus CNG."

FortisBC and TransLink have signed an RNG-supply contract that will provide up to 500,000 gigajoules (GJs) annually within five years. This is expected to provide enough to fuel the existing natural gas bus fleet with 100 per cent RNG. Over the five-year period, the transition to RNG will reduce TransLink's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50,000 tons – equivalent to taking 10,000 cars off the road for one year. The decision to use RNG is a positive step for TransLink towards its goal of using 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050.
