    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    Once the subsidies go away (which they are) the costs start piling up. The average citizen realizes they don't have the money to buy, operate and maintain one. Not really, but sort of in a round about way. Most of the large fleets of delivery are running electric motorcycles and or three...

    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    Rivian is having a hard time with meeting their current commitments. Amazon let them out of their contract to try and find new customers and clients to make more money. Amazon is a 15%shareholder and lost nine hundred million dollars on their investment. No culture war and no talking heads...

    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    You should revisit that deal, actual orders and actual delivery times were on the low side. The exclusivity deal was ended. Again without heavy subsidies electric vehicles are not holding their own even in Europe. But when gasoline is $2.59/liter cdn. People will try what ever they can to cut...

    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    I think the Diesel electric or gas electric is a great way to go. I can see a large Military application for this system. Every truck can run silent for 4 or five hours if required. When at the bivouac they can use the generator (s) to power the camp. Excellent ideas.

    Check these guys out. About the best process I have seen so far. I even think it makes sense for Military Suppprt vehicles. They are working on a system for pickup trucks...

    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    Whose fleets are those? For many it would be bad economics as they don't produce their own electricity, they don't provide their own resources. Until the true cost per mile is added, road tax. It appears through out Europe the price on charging is creeping up significantly recent times. I...

    2024 Wildfire Season

    Bombardier didn't care to make water bombers and ran that part of their service into the ground. Despite Viking Air trying to buy the rights for years. I think it was out of spite. They didn't seem at all interested in the entire De Havilland Series of aircraft actually. Not sure why they...

    The War in Ukraine

    Not directly. But his words in 2017 wanting to reunite the Former Soviet Union and his aggressive stance resulted in NATO members asking for more support and training. Putin knew that could and would result in larger Concentrations of NATO Troops in a show of force. Which played into his...

    Canada/US Border Integrity Thread

    Is it not CBSA job to detain,escort people out of the country? The few I have dealt with that's how it was done.

    The War in Ukraine

    I still believe the large NATO exercise just before Russia launched their massive assault was to draw NATO troops in where Putin would have used non conventional weapons to attempt to disable/ take out a large portion of equipment on European land. That's my feeling on the matter.

    No Kit issued for part time BMQ

    No uniforms or kit for a weekend BMQ is absolutely whats wrong with the system. How do you expect people to act professional,be professional when you can't even provide them with the proper kit. A weekend course is even more critical as each weekend is an important building block for the...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    https://fire-flood.com/ This company popped up a couple of years ago here. But many Oilfield companies and dewatering companies can move water over many KM when required. They can set up large containment pools,sprinklers and what ever you need for water needs. Probably, but salt water can...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    it actually looks like a nice design. Polution control with guns and space for illegals. That aft deck could be coupled with a ASW. We could realistically use the pollution control boats. Repalce the MCDVs with these will be a step up

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    I think people try to find fault in properly equipping Reserve force. For example. 5th BC Field Regiment. Move them back down to a Bty. Give them 6 SP artillery guns. Store them at CFB Esquimalt. When they go to Yakima/Fort Lewis or Wainwright low bed them. Buy 11 Svc Battalion trucks and...
