It might seem more appealing to purchase heavy equipment new from the manufactur-er, but not every fleet manager can justify the higher cost. Plus, not every business needs the latest and greatest equipment to get the job

done. As buyers look for ways to purchase quality machines while saving money, the market for used heavy equipment continues to grow.

However, it can be nerve-racking putting your trust into a used ma-chine, especially if you

don’t know what to look for. To minimize risk, it’s important to care-fully review the equip-ment prior to purchase. It doesn’t have to be done in person. A good online marketplace will provide detailed and guaranteed inspection reports. The

five areas that should be inspected and incorporat-ed into a report include:1. Mechanical (engine, transmission, power train, hydraulics)

It’s important to be aware of any potential mechanical issues upfront to save yourself from un-wanted future repair costs. When the engine is turned on, look out for leaks, blowby or smoke. Always check the steering and brakes to make sure they function properly. Buyers should also be sure the machine operates properly

both forward and in re-verse. Unusual noises can mean there is a problem with the engine or another vital part of the equipment. Additionally oil analysis results can provide a good indicator of the mechanical condition.2. Structure

Heavy use and abuse cause structural issues that will affect the per-formance of a machine over time. Buyers should ensure the equipment is structurally sound before purchasing. The main frame and articulation joints of the machine should be in good shape and free of excessive wear. All of the machine’s hardware should be pres-ent and firmly intact with-out any patches, modifi-cations or a lot of visible corrosion. 3. Cosmetic

While repairing cos-metic issues is not as ex-pensive as mechanical and structural repairs, ideally you will not want a ma-chine with more than the average amount of wear and tear. The cab interior should have seats in good condition and glass should be free of cracks. Ideally, paint should not be faded or chipped and sheet metal or fiberglass should not be dented, damaged or miss-ing. 4. Features or options

Before making a pur-chase, every buyer should consider how well the existing features of a machine are suited for the tasks and the opera-tors who will be using the equipment. For in-stance, with trucks, buy-ers should be aware of how many employees can drive an automatic trans-mission vehicle versus one with a manual trans-mission. Buyers will want to understand if different attachments can be used on the equipment so that it can be used for different purposes.

5. Tires/Wheels, DrumsWear and damage of

the equipment’s tires and drums should not be over-looked. Buyers can check drums’ scrapers for proper adjustment and look for wear on the cleats of pad-foot rollers. Drum seats should not leak and the rubber pads on the inter-nal drum frame should be intact.

It is critical that buy-ers spend the time at on-site auctions inspecting the equipment in detail as the responsibility falls on them to make sure they are buying quality equipment. This can be difficult because space and time can sometimes be too limited to see the equipment from all angles and test certain parts and features. Buyers can also easily miss something that a skilled inspector with ample time would catch. Thus, buyers may base their purchase on what they see and what is told to them, rather than actual tests.

Online auctions al-low buyers to learn more about the equipment compared to physical auc-tions. They also eliminate the time and expense necessary to travel to an auction. The ideal online marketplace will provide detailed and guaranteed inspection reports that protect the buyer if the machine is not in the con-dition reported.

Ultimately, the goal is to avoid making an unin-formed purchase and get-ting stuck with a machine that doesn’t perform as you hoped. By making sure the five inspection areas above are covered and choosing the type of auction that best fits your needs, you’re more likely to be satisfied with the equipment and the money you’ve invest-ed. bBy Paul Hendrix, Equipment Pricing Analyst, IronPlanet

The course was designed on a mobile plat-form so technicians world-wide can access the train-ing anytime, anywhere.

“Our equipment is mo-bile, our customers are mobile, and our training is mobile,” said Rick Smith, JLG Industries Senior Di-rector of Product Training.

“Winning the Best Mo-bile Solution award two years in a row is very ex-citing. It validates the hard work the JLG training de-partment and our partners at Artisan are doing to de-liver high-quality training to our customers. Our mo-bile e-learning offering is one of several training ini-tiatives at JLG. We are on

schedule to open our new training center and proving grounds in July.”

The course is one of several online training opportunities available through JLG University, a global learning environ-ment designed to deliver training online while man-aging class enrolments and training records.

According to its web-site, the eLearning Guild is the oldest and most trusted source of infor-mation, networking and community for eLearning professionals.

The next four years will bring 230,000 new jobs to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), according to a new report released April 7 by BMO Economics.

The report on Canada’s most populous urban re-gion is the latest in a se-ries of economic, housing and business overviews for various cities and re-gions across Canada that

will be published by BMO throughout this year.

“Strong demographics and a diverse labour mar-ket continue to support Toronto’s economy, which is poised to gain some momentum in the coming years,” said Robert Kavcic, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “While the housing market is ex-pected to cool, these fun-damentals combined with only gradual interest rate increases should help the city avoid a deep near-term correction in home prices.”

Kavcic stated that fac-tory and transportation/warehousing activity will benefit from stronger trade flows, the service sector will remain sturdy, and public infrastructure spending will provide an added boost.

The report states that employment was growing at a solid pace in Toronto, at least up until the turn of the year when the ice storm and a harsher-than-normal winter hit. Con-struction employment re-

bounded strongly last year after slipping in the prior year; transportation and warehousing, retail and fi-nance all saw solid growth; and cuts in the public sec-tor subsided.

“Employment expanded by 4 percent in 2013, the strongest single-year perfor-mance in 13 years, though the unemployment rate remains elevated at 8 per-cent,” noted Kavcic. “Look-ing ahead, employment growth is expected to pick up again. The city will likely see roughly 230,000 jobs created by the end of 2017, pulling the unemployment rate down to 7 percent, or just slightly above pre-reces-sion levels.”

Kavcic observed that like much of Ontario, To-ronto’s economy stands to benefit from a weaker Cana-dian dollar, “Manufacturing, which directly accounts for about 10 percent of employ-ment, will get a boost, along with the tourism sector with Toronto – along with Can-ada as a whole – suddenly looking like an improved value for both U.S. and local tourists.”

Kavcic also stated that a sturdy Canadian financial sector will also continue

to support growth, while business and personal ser-vices provide a stable em-ployment base in the city, “Taken together, tourism, finance and business and personal services account for more than a third of To-

ronto employment.”Bill Wu, BMO’s Region-

al Vice President of Com-mercial Banking in GTA North, noted that business-es throughout the region are optimistic about the state of the local economy and prospects for the year

ahead.“There’s a lot of mo-

mentum in the GTA across its broad base of sectors, and particularly among specialized manufacturers with niche markets such as health-sciences, service-

With its unique engi-neering expertise Thyssen-Krupp Bautechnik is one of the world’s leading manu-facturers of vibrators and drilling equipment used for marine and civil engineer-ing works. Muller vibrators have proven their worth in countless specialized civil engineering projects for the past 50 years. Because of their outstanding repu-tation for reliability and decades of constant refine-ment they are the favored solution for the most de-manding jobs.

At this past Conexpo in Las Vegas, Magnum dis-played a number of the ex-cavator mounted vibrators including the MS-4 HFB that can be used to perform

general driving, extract-ing and compacting work. Jobs in vibration-sensitive or inner-city areas are car-ried out reliably with the vibrators MS-5 HFBV and MS-8 HFBV, which feature resonance-free starting and stopping. Our models MS-9 HFB and MS-17 HFB are the ideal vibrator for jobs in heavy soils.

The most recent vibrators available are the MS-6 HFB SG and the MS-7 HFB SG, both of which are capable of picking up, positioning and driving piles in excess of 30 feet long in a single op-eration. The Muller side grip vibrators can be mounted on a standard excavator thanks to an intelligent control block. b

KCMA Corporation, the marketer for Kawa-saki wheel loaders in North America, is proud to announce the all new 95Z7 wheel loader. This outstanding machine is completely redesigned to meet all EPA Tier 4i emis-sion standards as well as to improve operating effi-ciency and productivity. At 388 net horsepower and equipped with a 7.3 cubic yard General Pur-pose bucket, this produc-tion class loader is a pace setter in the industry.

The most apparent change to the 95Z7 is the overall appearance. Striking new styling sets this machine apart from the crowd. These styling changes are functional as well as aesthetic. The hood design improves rear visibility and ser-viceability.

The powertrain for the 95Z7 provides power and durability. The reli-able and fuel efficient Isuzu 6WG1 diesel meets all Tier 4i emission standards with the use of Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Die-sel Particulate Filter or Exhaust Filter systems. This 16 liter engine is the largest in the class, providing excellent re-

serve capacity. The big planetary automatic-shift transmission has automotive-style smooth shifting from pulse width modulation in the con-trol valve. This transmis-sion also has standard Lock-up Torque Convert-er to improve fuel econ-omy and performance. Plus the 95Z7 has stan-dard Traction Control and Torque Proportion-ing Differentials to re-duce wheel spin and ex-tend tire life. The service brakes are mid-mounted for high capacity and cool operation and the final drives are outboard mounted for easy access.

The totally redesigned hydraulic system uses reliable, high perfor-mance Kawasaki vari-able displacement piston pumps that improve fuel efficiency. The operator station is roomy and pro-vides excellent visibility, controllability and com-fort to optimize produc-tivity.

Like all Kawasaki Z7 series loaders, the 95Z7 has many new features to allow the machine to be operated at peak ef-ficiency in a wide range of applications. Many intelligent features use inputs from the machine

to adjust performance to match the conditions. Other features allow the operator to make adjust-ments to fit his require-ments for production or comfort.

Diagnostic systems have been improved to allow for more detailed data access to trouble-shoot issues quickly and accurately. Serviceability is improved with easy access to the engine, cooling system cores, and filters. Oil change intervals have been in-creased for the engine and hydraulic systems to reduce overall operating costs. Cooling fan effi-ciency is improved with aerodynamic designs to improve air flow and cooling efficiency.

Not only did the Ka-wasaki 95Z7 introduce many new features, but it retained several of the heavy duty structural features that it has be-come famous for. Things like Dual Z-Linkage, Box Section Frames, Base Mounted Boom Cylin-ders and Heavy Duty Center Pin designs make the 95Z7 the strongest machine in its class.

This machine is ideal for loading customer trucks in a quarry, handling hot slag in a steel mill, carrying big log loads in a millyard, or handling any tough jobs a wheel loader is required to do. The 95Z7 is the flagship of the Kawasaki family of wheel loaders. b

The Canadian forest products industry is well positioned for a bright fu-ture after making robust advances in labour produc-tivity even while facing one of its worse downturns in history.

A Detailed Analysis of Productivity Trends in the Canadian Forest Products Sector was undertaken by the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (CSLS) for the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC). The indepen-dent study shows that between 2000 and 2012 the labour productivity of the Canadian forest prod-ucts industry grew at a compound annual rate of 2.5%, well above the overall Canadian busi-ness sector growth of 0.7%. The industry had the second highest labour productivity growth rate from 2000-2012 for all Ca-nadian industry sectors.

“It is remarkable to see this excellent productivity performance considering

the jolts that hit our indus-try since the beginning of the 21st Century,” says the President and CEO of FPAC David Lindsay, in refer-ence to an unprecedented confluence of near-term shocks such as the higher dollar and sluggish U.S. economy, and structural changes such as the pre-cipitous drop in paper use in the wake of the digital revolution.

“These positive results speak to the resilience of our industry and the cre-ativity and sound business decisions made by compa-nies in the sector both pre and post-recession,” says Lindsay. “This study un-derscores how our compa-nies weathered a difficult economic storm leaving them well positioned to grow and seize opportuni-ties in the days ahead.”

FPAC believes that a renewed focus on lever-aging productivity gains through investment and innovation is the key to the industry’s future as

the sector moves from an established commodity industry to a nimble green industry serving wider markets and driven by the opportunities of the emerging bio-age.

Building on the produc-tivity performance will also help the industry reach the sector’s Vision2020 includ-ing the ambitious goal of producing another $20 bil-lion dollars in economic activity and refreshing the workforce with 60,000 new recruits by the end of the decade.

“We now have a solid foundation for our trans-formation agenda, but we need to find ways to continue on this path of productivity to ensure the industry remains a major contributor to Canada’s economy and job creation, especially in rural Canada. Industry needs to puts its shoulder to the wheel and governments need to con-tinue its strategic support for innovation,” says Lind-say.

FPAC is recommend-ing a renewed focus on investing in both human and physical capital as well as strong spending on research and develop-ment. b

Université Laval won the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Houston after a tight race with the Uni-versity of Toronto. Uni-versité Laval’s Alérion Su-permileage team took top honours in the competition by achieving 1,200 kilome-tres per litre (km/l). With that kind of fuel efficiency, the Alérion Supermileage vehicle could travel from Toronto to Montreal and back on less than a litre of gasoline.

The University of To-ronto, in only their sec-ond year of competition, kept the race close using a custom designed and constructed engine. Ulti-mately, however, Univer-sité Laval, winner of five of the previous six Shell Eco-marathons, brought home the top prize of US $2,000.

“Our team is very ex-cited with the results of the weekend,” said Laval Team Captain Audrey Lai-né. “Initially we had issues with our engine, but we

came together as a team to fix it and are extremely satisfied. The University of Toronto and Mater Dei High School had very close scores to our team, which made the weekend even more exciting.”

Other top achievements for Canadian schools in-cluded: • The University of Toronto

brought home multiple off-track awards and ku-dos from spectators and participants alike for be-ing the only team in the competition to design and build their own en-gine. The team received the Technical Innovation award for their Prototype - Gasoline vehicle, UT2, and the Pennzoil Tribolo-gy award for demonstrat-ing in a structured and applicable way, the use of lubrication engineering principles to improve their vehicles’ fuel efficiency. Each award came with a US $2,000 prize.

• The University of Alberta

EcoCar team from Ed-monton, Canada, won a US$2,000 first place prize in the Urban Con-cept – Hydrogen fuel cat-egory with their vehicle, Steve, which achieved 29.6 km/kWh.

• The E-Volve team from Université de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Canada, won a US$2,000 first place prize in the Urban Concept – Battery Elec-tric fuel category with their vehicle, E-Volve, which achieved 325 km/kWh.“We look at Shell Eco-

marathon as a way to spark a passion for engineering among young people, as well as fuel the conversa-tion around future energy challenges,” said Wolfgang Warnecke, Shell Chief Sci-entist Mobility. “Each year we see new technologies that have been developed by these bright young minds, and we hope some-day to see these innova-tions make their way into everyday vehicles.”

2014 marked the eighth Shell Eco-marathon Ameri-cas. After five success-ful years in Houston, next year’s competition will take place in Detroit, Mich-igan. b

productive in the process.” The report, released

April 7, revealed:Housing• The Toronto housing

market continues to per-form well, but a gradual rise in mortgage rates and increased condo supply should temper price growth in the years ahead.

• The average transaction price sat at $558,000, up almost 8 percent year-over-year, while the more representative MLS Home Price Index was up just over 7 per-cent year-over-year. The market continues to defy the skeptics and push

higher.• Despite the run-up in

prices over the past de-cade, income gains and a significant decline in mortgage rates have left Canadian housing af-fordability close to his-torically-normal levels-this is true in Toronto as well. With Bank of Canada policy expected to remain stable through mid-2015, and longer-term interest rates rising gradually to levels lower than historically normal, the market should sup-port price gains slightly below the rate of income growth.

• New housing starts in Toronto have moderated,

but some risk remains from the high number of condo units currently under construction.

Construction• Nonresidential activity is

an area that should con-tinue to support growth.

• Transit expansion is a key priority area for lo-cal and provincial poli-cymakers, even if many of the details remain un-decided and the revenue tools to fund it are still to be determined at the

provincial level. Activity is underway to revitalize Union Station, create a rail link between Pear-son Airport and Union Station, and build out light rail transit.

• Additionally, construc-

tion activity to host the 2015 Pan Am Games is underway and expected in the $500-to-$700 mil-lion range.The full report can be

Komatsu America Corp. introduces the HM300 Tier 4 Final articulated dump truck. With a net 325 HP (242 kW), the HM300 is powered by a Kom-atsu SAA6D125E-7 engine which is EPA Tier 4 Final emissions certified. Kom-atsu’s Tier 4 Final engines are built on a solid foun-dation that started in 1996 with the introduction of Komatsu’s Tier 1 engines. The resulting benefit today is a Tier 4 Final engine that is productive, dependable and efficient. This new ar-ticulated dump truck lever-ages Komatsu’s leadership in technology and innova-tion by delivering a more environmentally friendly engine that provides high levels of performance while reducing fuel consumption and operating costs.

With a 30.9 US ton (28 metric ton) payload and a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 117,881 lbs (53,470 kg), the HM300

maintains the productiv-ity and performance of the previous model, yet with improved fuel efficiency, delivering what customers expect from Komatsu ar-ticulated dump trucks.

The HM300 is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX remote monitoring technol-ogy with data access via the web or via KOMTRAX Mo-bile on your smart phone. In addition to providing data such as fuel levels, operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts, KOMTRAX has been further enhanced to monitor AdBlue/DEF levels, ambient air temperatures and pres-sures. A new Operator Iden-tification System reports key operating information for multiple operators. A new Auto Idle Shutdown func-tion helps improve operating costs by reducing unneces-sary idle time.

Key features of the HM300 Tier 4 Final in-clude:

Komatsu EPA Tier 4 Final Emission Certified Engine – Productive, Dependable, Efficient

Komatsu’s EPA Tier 4 Final engines are built on the strength of its proven Tier 4 Interim foundation. By integrating Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR), the Tier 4 Final engine further reduces NOx emis-sions using AdBlue / DEF. The Komatsu Tier 4 Final engine uses an advanced electronic control system to manage the air-flow rate, fuel injection, combustion parameters, and after treat-ment functions to optimize performance, reduce emis-sions, and provide ad-vanced diagnostic capabil-ity. The result is lower fuel consumption with no loss of performance. Komatsu continues to use a Kom-atsu Variable Geometry Turbocharger (KVGT) and an Exhaust Gas Recircula-tion (EGR) valve for more precise temperature and

air management control as well as longer component life.

To ensure product reli-ability and durability in de-manding conditions, Kom-atsu developed the entire system, including the con-trol software which is criti-cal to the effective operation of the aftertreatment sys-tem. This control system is also integrated into the ma-chine’s on-board diagnostics systems and KOMTRAX, Komatsu’s standard telemat-ics system.Efficient Operation

The HM300 features the Komatsu Traction Control System (K-TCS). The K-TCS automatically provides optimum traction when operating in soft ground conditions. As ground conditions worsen and tire slippage is detected by the speed sensors located on four wheels, automatic ap-plication of the inter-axle differential lock occurs. If tire slippage continues to be detected, then four inde-pendent brakes can be ap-plied to slipping wheels to regain traction.

The HM300 is enhanced with K-ATOMiCS—Komat-su Advanced Transmission

with Optimum Modulation Control System. K-ATOM-iCS offers a six-speed, fully-automatic transmis-sion that uses an advanced electronic system to elimi-nate shift shock and torque cutoff to improve operator and engine efficiency. It automatically selects the ideal gear based on vehicle speed, engine rpm and the shift position chosen. This results in powerful ac-celeration, smooth down- shifting and synchronized engine speed when climb-ing slopes. This ultimately minimizes operator fatigue, keeps the load in the body and increases productivity.

A large automatic re-tarder allows the opera-tor to select the optimum operating speed on down-hill travel and fully loaded hauls, eliminating accelera-tion generated by the grade of the slope.High Productivity

Through body design optimization the HM300 features increased body capacity and payload. The low 9’2” (2820mm) loading height easily matches with 30-ton to 60-ton hydraulic excavators or 5 yd³ to 7.5 yd³ wheel loaders. In addi-

tion, the two single-staged body lift cylinders provide a 70-degee dump angle.

Additionally the select-able working modes al-low the operator to choose between Economy and Power modes to tailor the machine performance to the application or job site working conditions.Operator Environment

The large design cab provides a comfortable and quiet work environment so operators can maximize their productivity. The ROPS/FOPS Level 2 certi-fied cab features a new designed rounded front dash panel with easy to reach switches. The center mounted high back, heated air ride seat with 3-point seat belt provides the oper-ator with excellent visibil-ity during operation. The dashboard and front con-sole provide easy access to all machine controls as well as visibility to the moni-tor panel. An auxiliary input has also been added to connect an MP3 player or other device along with two 12-volt ports that have also been incorporated into the cab.

An innovative new com-puter system used for

maximizing operational efficiencies could help in-crease the savings and profitability of Canada’s forestry sector by $50 mil-lion or more if demand estimates for the technol-ogy come to fruition, ac-cording to FPInnovations, a non-profit research and development organization serving the forestry sector.

In response to a request from the Canadian forestry industry to develop a plat-form to acquire data about equipment performance and production, navigate forests, communicate seamlessly, and generate efficiency re-ports, FPInnovations devel-oped the FPDat solution. FP-Dat is an on-board computer system that collects and ana-lyzes productivity and per-formance data about heavy equipment in real time.

“We know that thou-sands of dollars can be saved by implementing a continuous improvement program, and our tools help to get relevant data to conduct such programs,” says Martin Castonguay, Research Leader for the

Precision Forestry Research Program at FPInnovations.

He says that naviga-tion systems also increase operator efficiency, and that utilizing a centralized platform combined with ef-ficient reporting allows for-estry professionals to focus on activities that add value rather than spending time on manipulating data.

“Many systems on the market address part of the needs we address … but none combine all the fea-tures we have,” Caston-guay says. “Overall, we are confident that productivity can be improved by five to 10 per cent.”

Forest product manu-facturer, Tembec, invested in an FPDat system in April 2012. Installed in a feller buncher, the technology has proven its usefulness tracking data such as pro-duction time and idling. The equipment operator can also input stop codes that note the reason why he’s stopping.

“If we give [the contrac-tor and operator] the right information about the big-gest bottlenecks, then they can isolate the root cause

and try and fix it so that they can maximize their opportunities and their production on the equip-ment,” says Ron Martel, General Manager, Forest Resource Management, Northern Ontario East, Tembec. “This is valuable because you can’t fix the right problems if you can’t locate the problems, and you need the data collected to find the right problems.”

Developed in 2008, with the first prototypes released in 2010, FPInnovations has sold approximately 350 FPDat systems to forestry companies across Canada since the release of the first commercial units in 2011.

“In forestry, [FPDat] al-lows companies to have a one-stop platform to moni-tor all aspects of opera-tions,” Castonguay says. “If someone needs stan-dardized, centralized, easy-to-access data about equip-ment performance, wants to get information from op-erators on what’s happen-ing in the field, [and wants to] spatially track machine position and activities, then the [FPDat] platform is cer-tainly a great choice.” b

Terex Continues To Expand Presence In North America


A Scottish company with technology that prom-ises a cost-effective way to explore for underground minerals and energy re-sources with zero environ-mental impact, has chosen PEI as its Canadian base of operations, says Innova-tion and Advanced Learn-ing Minister Allen Roach.

“Adrok is attracting considerable attention from both the mining and energy industries because it offers a scanner that can locate underground re-sources without the need for exploratory drilling. We think there’s a tremendous business opportunity for exploration that can be carried out at low cost and with little environmental impact,” said the Minister.

“It’s a good sign that this company has chosen to set up in Prince Edward Island. I look forward to seeing the jobs and oppor-tunities that materialize as Adrok makes its way into the North American mar-

ket.”Adrok conducted its first

commercial exploration in 2007 in Morocco and has since used its patented technology to assist energy and mineral exploration in the North Sea, Europe, North America, Australia and Asia.

Alan Goodwin, VP Op-erations says, “Our expan-sion into Canada opens up a vast new market-place for us. With approx-imately 90 per cent of the country still waiting to be explored for a whole myr-iad of resources, we are confident that our “game-changing” technology will provide the environ-mentally friendly solution companies and govern-ment agencies have been waiting for. The province of PEI has been amazingly supportive of our aspira-tions, and the incredible support given by Innova-tion PEI proved to be a major factor in our deci-sion to base ourselves

here. PEI is quite simply a fantastic place to do busi-ness from, with honest and friendly people ready to give advice and assis-tance wherever needed. Everything we need to grow is here on the Island in both infrastructure and workforce, and we look forward to continuing working closely with the province in the future.”

Innovation PEI, the province’s lead economic development agency, is supporting Adrok’s move to Prince Edward Island with an $11,000 rental in-centive and with a labour rebate that could reach $201,000 if the company reaches its target of hiring six Island employees by the end of 2015.Backgrounder

Adrok is a Scottish-based company that has patented their product Atomic Dielectric Reso-nance (ADR), which pro-vides a non-invasive geo-physical survey (virtual

bore holes) of sites leading to more accurate searches for natural resource prod-ucts while saving explora-tion companies money be-cause of the system’s speed and accuracy. The system sends electromagnetic beams to great depths in the ground and can work through rock, seawater, earth, salts and metals.

ADR is a non-destruc-tive process that requires less staff and energy to

The first phase of a ten-month trial for a zero-emissions, 40-foot, all-electric bus (which commenced in 2013) was completed in Gatineau, Quebec and Ottawa, Ontario in December. Bus drive is zero-emissions, how-ever in frigid weather bus-heating was supple-mented with a small diesel heater integrated into the bus.

The evaluation was performed by the So-ciété de transport de l'Outaouais (STO) in conjunction with AVT (the Société de gestion et d'acquisition de véhi-cules de transport) and partial findings were presented at the 2013 EV/VE Conference and Tradeshow in Gatineau-Ottawa by Salah Barj, Director of Planning and Development at STO. The battery-electric bus was supplied by BYD Company Ltd. under a service agreement and continues its evaluations in partnership with the Société de transport de Montreal (STM) until Spring of 2014.

"As the instigator of the project, the STO is especially interested in this testing because bus fleet electrification is part of its 2005-2015 strategic development plan," explained STO Chairman Patrice Martin in July when the project commenced. "Field test-ing will enable the tran-sit corporations to share the results of the differ-ent projects in progress and determine the tech-nology that best meets their needs. This initia-tive represents a step

perform the same tests that are currently performed through other techniques including seismic testing. The ADR system penetrates materials to determine what is below the earth’s surface providing fast and accurate results that help a resource company deter-mine whether to develop an area. The Adrok pro-cess costs a fraction of the normal drilling cost for test wells (typically 70 - 90 per

towards the targeted ac-quisition of all-electric buses, meaning zero emissions. The STO is embarking on the path to greener ways of do-ing things," stated Mr. Martin.

Salah Barj stated, “The BYD electric bus was nothing like any-thing we had seen or tested before, it was able to run our required 8-hour shift in service with only a night-time single charge at our bus garage. BYD’s bus itself has on-board chargers so that only 60 Kw of grid AC power was de-livered at night to the bus through a power interface. This made for very convenient charg-ing of the electric bus so that no peak-rate power was consumed.”

STO found that the average speed of driv-ers on Gatineau and Ottawa routes was 23 Km/hr, and the result-ing distance the BYD bus could travel at this average speed was 250 Km (the equivalent of

cent savings). The Adrok ADR system

is very portable and can be deployed from a plane, he-licopter or truck.

A small survey crew will arrive at a site and work the site over the course of two weeks using the ADR system. All data recovered will return to the Adrok home site in PEI for further analysis. Final analysis will be done at Adrok head-quarters in Scotland. b

1.3 kWh/ Km without air-conditioning on and 1.5 kWh/ Km with air-conditioning, and full passenger loads).

The report findings support BYD claims that the bus is incredibly effi-cient in the use of energy. BYD typically advertises a 250 Km (or 155+ mile) operational range for their 40 foot bus. However, while being driven by an operator who under-stands the vehicle and how to optimize regenera-tive braking, BYD claims that the range could well exceed 250 km. The range is a direct attribute of the sizing of the BYD’s Iron-Phosphate battery. BYD provides the largest bat-tery of any electric bus supplier today with a 324 kWh total energy storage capacity. Further, BYD claims (as supported by the accompanying chart) that when bus average speeds increased up to the maximum speed of 70 Km/hr, that the overall bus efficiencies increased to 0.75 kWh/ Km trav-eled (equivalent to 1.2 kWh/ mile) and the dif-ference between “with” and “without air condi-tioning” is lessened.

EMMS also continuously monitors all critical systems, preven-tative maintenance, and provides troubleshooting assistance to minimize di-agnosis and repair time.

scheduled maintenance for the first three (3) years or 2,000 hours (whichever oc-curs first.) It also includes a

50-point inspection at each service and two complimen-tary KDPF exchanges in the first five (5) years. b
