  • Airless Tires Now Available For Construction

    Tires are advancing at a rapid rate. Now, airless radial tires are available for the UTV market, meaning there is no pressure to maintain, eliminating the need to carry spare tires.

    As one instance, Michelin Tweel Technologies recently introduced a new 26-inch airless radial tire with four-bolt-wheel-pattern hub. The company says it was originally designed for use in military special operations on light-tactical vehicles and now is appropriate for use in industries such as construction.

    The airless tire is a single unit that replaces the current pneumatic tire/wheel/valve assembly. Once bolted on, there is no air pressure to maintain.

  • Shell To Release Offshore Rights On Canada’s West Coast To Support Marine Conservation

    To support marine conservation efforts, Shell Canada (“Shell”) recently announced it intends to voluntarily release about 50,000 km2 of exploratory permits off coastal British Columbia, Canada. More than one and a half times the size of Vancouver Island, the acreage is located in the Queen Charlotte and Tofino basins covering vast and environmentally rich areas. Shell’s permit area, which has been under Federal moratorium since 1972, overlaps with about one-third of the newly designated Scott Islands National Wildlife Area.

    “Releasing these exploration permits can help protect spectacular and environmentally rich areas off Canada’s West Coast where we have no plans to explore for oil and gas,” said Michael Crothers, Shell Canada President and Country Chair. “We saw an opportunity to support marine protection as part of our ongoing efforts to find pragmatic ways to contribute to conservation in Canada while maintaining our robust global exploration portfolio.”
