Climate change to reduce mango production by 50pc
By Ghulam Abbas
Pakistan is going to face at least 50 per cent drop in mango production this year due to the effects of climate change and high temperatures.
Due to the weather hazards, shortage of electricity and diesel, increase in cost of packaging processing and high freight charges, exporters as well mango growers have to face a crisis during the current mango season.
Following the expected reduction in production of mango All Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Association (PFVA) has also curtailed its export target by 25,000 tonnes as compared to last year in view of declining mango production during this season and has set an export target of 125,000 tonnes for the current mango season, head of the association Waheed Ahmed informed thus scribe.
In case the country meets this new reduced target, it will fetch valuable foreign exchange of $106 million.
According to Waheed Ahmed, due to climatic effects and high temperature, mango production has been severely affected during this mango season. The average production of mango in Pakistan is 1.8 million tons and with 50% reduction, it is likely to be limited to 0.9 million tonnes.
During the current mango season, the mid of March witnessed average temperature between 37-42 ℃ while the average temperature during the previous season was recorded as 34 ℃. The sudden rise in temperature has severely damaged mango production while irrigation problems, water shortage due to blockage of canals, power load shedding and shortage of diesel during the season have further deepened the climatic effects.
Expressing serious concern, Waheed Ahmed further shared that, the mango production and export during the current season are facing stiff challenges in the history of mango seasons. Depreciation of rupees, rising labour costs along with high tariff of electricity and gas have significantly multiplied the cost of processing mangoes. Packaging material has also gone up by 30% since last season, making it quite difficult for mango exporters to compete in the international market.
Exorbitant increase in sea freight has played a significant role in making competition stiff for Pakistani mangoes. Last year, sea freight for the Gulf and Dubai were $1,900 per container, but this year the cost of sea freight has risen $ 2,800 to 3000 dollars it is feared that with simultaneous increase in air freight charges, the transportation cost of mangoes would also be substantially enhanced.
In case of rain, storms and strong winds along with climatic effects, losses of mango crop may further increase in the coming months , leading to severe negative impact on exports.
The association in a statement has urged the Government to extend financial assistance to the mango growers and exporters so that their losses could be compensated.
The Govt. shall extend 20% subsidy in sea and air freight, reduction in PIA freight charges to curtail the cost of export and facilitate competition in the international market for Pakistani mangoes.
In order to attain the export target of this most difficult season of mango, it is imperative that the concerned government departments and authorities including airport and seaport authorities, customs, plant production department and other concerned organizations shall render all possible assistance and cooperation to ensure that maximum foreign exchange can be earned during the current critical economic situation of Pakistan.

Flasko (FLSK) Is Predicted To Become A Top Investment, Surpassing Cardano (ADA) And Dogecoin (DOGE)
Blockchain is a remarkable innovation and has been used in diverse ways since its launch. It also plays a vital role in the introduction of new initiatives, like Flasko, that are planning to take the world by storm.
So, does Flasko have what it takes to follow the path of Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE)? Let us investigate!
Cardano (ADA) Investors Are Interested In Flasko (FLSK) Presale
Cardano (ADA) is a successful proof-of-stake (PoS) network. It aims to solve Ethereum's architectural issues by increasing scalability, adaptability, and sustainability. Surprisingly, its Ouroboros PoS technology aims to alleviate energy inefficiencies connected with cryptocurrency mining.
Cardano (ADA) is unusual because holders can withdraw their staked funds anytime. This platform is relatively easy if you are new to the staking industry.
Nevertheless, the network has different uses. The Cardano (ADA) ecosystem may help to develop and deploy DeFi and DApps, as well as crypto tokens and smart contracts. The Cardano (ADA) team has also proposed the creation of an open-source toolset for Cardano-based DAOs. When finished, the toolset will make it simpler and easier to create and run DAOs for the Cardano Ecosystem.
Dogecoin (DOGE) Is No Longer At Its Peak And Investors Are Looking For New Investment
Dogecoin (DOGE) has done remarkably well for itself for a coin that was designed as a joke. With a market valuation of $7.8 billion, it is one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies! Although Dogecoin (DOGE) is no longer at its peak, its tremendous volatility demonstrates its strong return potential.
You may be wondering what makes Dogecoin (DOGE) so popular. It's the devoted following it has. In times of crisis, the Dogecoin community comes together to support the coin and help it recover from price drops.
Due to its low fees and incredible speeds, Dogecoin (DOGE) has succeeded admirably throughout its lifetime. It is most commonly used to tip someone. However, Dogecoin (DOGE) is quickly becoming a mainstream currency, with hundreds of companies and venues worldwide adopting DOGE.
Flasko (FLSK) Is Showing Higher Growth Potential
Flasko intends to become the first decentralized exchange for buying and trading fractionalized NFTs of luxury spirits like vintage whiskey, fine wine, and premium champagne. These three industries have risen by more than 90% in the preceding five years.
Flasko is already in presale, with the token costing only $0.04. Analysts estimate a 2,500% increase by 2023. Flasko has already been audited by Solid Proof, and the company has locked liquidity for the next 33 years.
You can participate and learn more about the project and presale by visiting the following official links:

The European Commission declared that it feared oil companies had "colluded" to distort benchmark prices for crude, oil products and biofuels. Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Norway's Statoil and Italy's ENI all said that they were co-operating with the commission. The competition authorities also called on the London offices of Platts, a subsidiary of McGraw Hill, an American publisher and business-information firm, which sets reference prices for these commodities.
The volumes of oil and products linked to these benchmark prices are vast. Futures and derivatives markets are also built on the price of the underlying physical commodity. At least 200 billion barrels a year, worth in the order of $20 trillion, are priced off the Brent benchmark, the world's biggest, according to Liz Bossley, chief executive of Consilience, an energy-markets consultancy. The commission has said that even small price distortions could have a "huge impact" on energy prices. Statoil has said that the commission's interest goes all the way back to 2002. If it is right, then the sums involved could be huge, too.
The authorities are tight-lipped about their focus, but they seem to be examining the integrity of benchmark prices. Each day Platts's reporters establish a reference price by following the value of public bids and offers during a half-hour "window" before a set time—4:30pm in London, for example. This "Market-on-Close" (MOC) method is based on the idea that using published, verifiable deals to set the price is more reliable than having reporters ring around their pals, who might be tempted to talk their own books. Platts keenly defends the MOC method. It points out that it ignores bids, offers and deals that are anomalous or suspicious. "We are not aware of any evidence that our price assessments are not reflective of market value," it says, before declaring that it stands behind its method.
Yet such price-setting mechanisms have come in for criticism. The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), a grouping of financial regulators, said last year that the potential for false reporting "is not mere conjecture." Total, a French oil giant…told IOSCO that benchmark prices were out of line with the underlying market "several times a year".
Nobody knows what, if anything, the present investigation will find. The authorities should be scouring firms' books for trades within the half-hour window that are offset in the futures markets. Perhaps they will find deals used in Platts's assessment that are quietly unwound by the oil companies in private. They should also check shipping registers to see that cargoes have actually changed hands, or whether deals are fictitious. If any of these tricks could distort the benchmark by even a few cents, it might create a handy profit on contracts that are priced off it.
Oil consumers have been quick to rage at news of this week's raids. The belief that oil companies rip off consumers is as unshakable as the idea that Rockefeller was good with money. "Our members…will be incandescent if what many have long suspected—that is price fixing—proves to be true," said Robert Downes, of the Forum of Private Business, a British group that backs small firms. In fact, if there have indeed been price distortions, then these could as well have nudged prices down as forced them up—because oil traders make money on price movements, not just rises.
It is a complicated picture and the EU's competition authorities are likely to take months or years before deciding whether they suspect any oil companies of having committed a crime. Meanwhile, a reform of the oil markets is unlikely to come anytime soon. Despite IOSCO's fears of price distortion, it backed away from recommending changes—after fierce lobbying from the industry.

CWHR Predicted Habitat Suitability. This dataset represents areas of suitable habitat within the species ranges based on California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR 2016) and a statewide best-available vegetation map (FVEG2015, FRAP 2015). Habitat suitability ranks of Low (less than 0.34), Medium (0.34-0.66), and High (greater than 0.66) suitability are based on the mean expert opinion suitability value for each habitat type for breeding, foraging, and cover. Please note that the data is represented in raster format with a pixel size of 30 meters. In the case of species that rely on habitat types that are difficult to map at this scale, such as riparian or wetland habitat types, the amount of representative habitat may be underestimated or inaccurately mapped due to aggregation into pixels with a majority type not used by the species.
The datasets used in the creation of the predicted Habitat Suitability models includes the CWHR range maps of California's regularly-occurring vertebrates which were digitized as GIS layers to support the predictions of the CWHR System software. These vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage ( https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR ). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.
The models also used the CALFIRE-FRAP compiled "best available" land cover data known as Fveg. This compilation dataset was created as a single data layer, to support the various analyses required for the Forest and Rangeland Assessment, a legislatively mandated function. These data are being updated to support on-going analyses and to prepare for the next FRAP assessment in 2015. An accurate depiction of the spatial distribution of habitat types within California is required for a variety of legislatively-mandated government functions. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's CALFIRE Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), in cooperation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife VegCamp program and extensive use of USDA Forest Service Region 5 Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) data, has compiled the "best available" land cover data available for California into a single comprehensive statewide data set. The data span a period from approximately 1990 to 2014. Typically the most current, detailed and consistent data were collected for various regions of the state. Decision rules were developed that controlled which layers were given priority in areas of overlap. Cross-walks were used to compile the various sources into the common classification scheme, the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) system.
CWHR range data was used together with the FVEG vegetation maps and CWHR habitat suitability ranks to create Predicted Habitat Suitability maps for species. The Predicted Habitat Suitability maps show the mean habitat suitability score for the species, as defined in CWHR. CWHR defines habitat suitability as NO SUITABILITY (0), LOW (0.33), MEDIUM (0.66), or HIGH (1) for reproduction, cover, and feeding for each species in each habitat stage (habitat type, size, and density combination). The mean is the average of the reproduction, cover, and feeding scores, and can be interpreted as LOW (less than 0.34), MEDIUM (0.34-0.66), and HIGH (greater than 0.66) suitability. Note that habitat suitability ranks were developed based on habitat patch sizes >40 acres in size, and are best interpreted for habitat patches >200 acres in size.
The CWHR Predicted Habitat Suitability rasters are named according to the 4 digit alpha-numeric species CWHR ID code. The CWHR Species Lookup Table contains a record for each species including its CWHR ID, scientific name, common name, and range map revision history (available for download at https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR ).
The Predicted Habitat Suitability model results are limited by the accuracy and scale of the input data.
Please note that the data is represented in raster format with a pixel size of 30 meters. In the case of species that rely on habitat types that are difficult to map at this scale, such as riparian or wetland habitat types, the amount of representative habitat may be underestimated or inacurately mapped due to aggregation into pixels with a majority type not used by the species.

As useful as Visual Studio Team Services is by itself, and with its API (we sync our LANDesk tickets with the VSTS Kanban board via the REST API – I'll write a post about that sometime), it can be made a lot better through the use of extensions that have been created by Microsoft and the community and made available through the Marketplace.
There are a whole load of extensions to integrate with other products to help your team collaboration, build, deployment, testing, etc. All you need to do is click the shopping bag icon in the top right of any VSTS screen to go to the Marketplace.
One extension which I think everyone should add is Code Search, which has been written by Microsoft themselves. This gives you a handy search tool which you can use to find bits of code in your repo which match a variety of criteria. You've got a number of powerful search options to make sure you find what you're looking for, no matter how big your codebase is.
The other extension that we use all the time is the Microsoft-written integration extension for the Slack messaging app. We'll probably have another post in the future about Slack – it's a great tool for teams doing DevOps style work because of all the integration options that it has. By using the VSTS/Slack integration, we all get notifications (in the Slack desktop or mobile apps) of code commits and automated test results, so we don't need to open the VSTS website to see how builds have gone.
We'll sometimes commit some code and then stick a comment in the Slack channel for the team if we're perhaps expecting the build to fail for some reason, and we might have a little group celebration of success in the channel when something we were struggling with eventually works.
Creating a new repository in VSTS.
Accessing the repository from your local computer.
First, you'll need to install the git client; you can download the client from https://git-scm.com/downloads. The default installation options should be fine.
Create a directory for the local copy of the repository.
Change directory to that directory.
Type 'git init' to initialise a local git repository.
Type 'git remote add origin <Repository URL>' to connect to the remote repository.
Git is now connected to the remote repository and ready to use. A future blog post will give an overview of how git works, and what the common commands that you need to learn are.
If Sean's post about the WinOps conference was interesting to you, there are a couple of events coming up in Newcastle which may be up your street. Both of these are free to attend, include some free beverages, and pizza. They are also both being held at Campus North on Carliol Square, so just a short walk from the campus.
Last week, Jonathan Noble and I attended the WinOps 2016 conference in London; this was a conference centred around the subject of using DevOps working practices with Windows Servers, which is something that Microsoft are focusing a lot of effort on, and something that ISG have taken a lot of interest in. I've been told that videos of the talks will soon be available on http://www.winops.org, and I would strongly recommend them for anyone who works with Windows Servers in any capacity. (Update: videos are now available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh-Ebab4Y6Lh09SnM63euerPW0-pauO7k).
The day started with a keynote speech by Jeffrey Snover, from Microsoft; I'm not sure of his current job title as it keeps changing, but he invented PowerShell and is basically in charge of Windows Server.
The speech covered the evolution of Windows Server from Windows NT, right through to Server 2016, explaining how the product was continuously changed to meet the needs of the time, which flowed nicely into an overview of Server 2016, designed to enable cloud workloads.
Also coming with Server 2016 is support for Docker-compatible Containers. If you're not familiar with these, it's worth getting acquainted – one server can run multiple containers, and each will function as if they were their own server, completely isolated from each other, but sharing the underlying operating system and other resources from the host machine. The container itself is a single object, making it very simple to transfer between hosts, or to duplicate and spin up multiple copies of a containerised application.
A couple of other important technologies touched upon were Windows Server Apps (WSA) – a new way of deploying applications based on AppX; Server Support for MSI will become deprecated in favour of WSA, largely because MSI is horrible and unsuitable for server environments – and Just Enough Administration (JEA) – a new PowerShell feature which allows the creation of PowerShell endpoints which users can connect to perform a specified subset of admin tasks, without requiring to be administrators on the target server (even if the tasks would usually require it); this means that you don't need to hand over the keys to your kingdom in order to let someone perform a few updates or run backups.
The second talk of the day was by Iris Classon, a C# MVP who works for Konstrukt. Iris's talk was entitled "To The Cloud" and discussed the journey that her company made while moving their services to Azure. Key points of the talk were discussions around the automation of manual processes, such as unit testing, integration testing, and operational validation testing, as well as deployment. She also advocated heavily for using JEA (mentioned above) to prevent system administrators from having access to sensitive data that they didn't need to see.
OMS Automation (formerly Azure Automation), which has been described as PowerShell as a Service – it offers a repository where PowerShell run books can be stored and run on a schedule.
Secure Credential Store – exactly what it sounds like – store credentials securely so that you can use them from the rest of OMS.
Windows and Linux machines are supported for monitoring (as well as anything else that can output a text-based log file).
Next up was Michael Greene, who works on Microsoft's Enterprise Cloud Customer Advisory Team, who gave an excellent talk about using Visual Studio Team Services, PowerShell, and Pester to implement a release pipeline for applications and infrastructure. This was particularly interesting to me, as these are the tools that we're using in ISG, and I've spent the last couple of months trying to do exactly this. Michael was strongly advocating configuring infrastructure as code, which allows the use of proper source control, automated testing, and automated deployment (only if all of the automated tests pass); working in this way has been shown to greatly improve reliability and agility of IT services.
Some excellent further reading on this subject was offered in the form of Microsoft's whitepaper: The Release Pipeline Model (http://aka.ms/thereleasepipelinemodel) and Steven Murawski's DevOps Reading List (http://stevenmurawski.com/devops-reading-list/).
Soundbite: If you want to work with Windows Server, the most important technology to learn right now is Pester.
During lunch we had a wander round stalls set up by vendors trying to sell their various DevOps-related products. One that interested me was Squared Up, a configurable dashboard that presents SCOM data (among other things) in a nice, easy to understand manner. I signed up for a free trial, before we discovered that the University already pays for this product. I need to chase this up with our contacts to get myself access to it.
My first afternoon session was with Richard Siddaway, covering Nano Server and Containers. This was really a practical demo following on from Jeffrey's keynote, stepping through the process of configuring both with the caveat that all of this is pre-release at the moment. It was interesting to note that while Microsoft initially started out by building a PowerShell module to manage containers directly, as a result of feedback they're re-engineering that to just be a layer on top of Docker, which is the tool that most people use to manage containers today. Another thing that I picked up was that as things stand, there's no way to patch containers, yet they need to be at the same patch level as the host. The solution is to just blow it away and make a new one, but as was demonstrated, it's quick and easy to do, so probably the most sensible approach anyway. We need to examine these two technologies carefully over the coming months. Richard mentioned the need to consider version numbering on containers, and which workloads they are suitable for. That's partly dictated by the workloads that Nano Server will support, which will be limited at launch, but will likely grow reasonably quickly.
…and while he was doing that, I went to a talk by Gael Colas – a Cloud Automation Architect (if anybody is thinking of overhauling our job titles any time soon, I quite like this one) – about configuration management theory.
This was one of my favourite talks of the day – Gael was making the case for short-lived, immutable servers. The general concept is that a server should be built from configuration code or scripts (the exact method is unimportant; what matters is that it's completely automated), and then never changed at all – no extra configuration, no quick fixes, no patches. When the server needs to be changed (for patches, for example), the source configuration/script should be updated instead, and a new server deployed from that. This method ensures that we always know the exact configuration of a server and we're always able to rebuild it it identically, every time – this has massive DR and service reliability benefits. This was referred to as Policy Driven Infrastructure. Gael did acknowledge that there are some applications for which this is unsuitable, but they're rapidly shrinking in number.
Two things that I will mention here were the suggestions that it's important to improve visibility – which I think is something that our department could benefit greatly from – everyone should be able to easily see what everyone else is doing, and should be encouraged to share and help each other (I think we are encouraged to share, but we currently lack the tools to easily do this; I have some ideas about that one but need to work them through) – and the suggestion that we should look at our services like products, and consider their full lifespan when we set them up, instead of thinking of the set up of a service as a project which is completed once the service is up and running, and then left to rot indefinitely.
The last proper talk of the day was given by Peter Mounce of Just Eat, who was discussing how they run their performance testing. Performance is very important to Just Eat, and they work to keep their applications fast by testing their production environment twenty four hours a day. The theory is that running performance tests in QA is meaningless, because it's impossible to replicate the behaviour of millions of real people using the production application, so they simply pile a load of fake load on their production servers. The fake load increases as real load increases, so that they're effectively doubling the load on their application all the time – this means that they know that they can take that much load, and they're able to disable the fake load in case of emergency to handle massive amounts of real load. In general, I'm not sure that the performance testing elements are that applicable to us at this stage, but there was a lovely soundbite which is very applicable to us: Embrace the fact that things are going to break; get better at fixing them quickly.
Finally, everybody came back together for a panel session and discussion, which was interesting, but nothing exceptional to report, then we went for drinks at the expense of Squared Up.
Last week I was up in Edinburgh with Microsoft presenting at their IT Pro Camps. We had multiple mentions how PowerShell can help you with the managment in the three topic areas we were covering: Hyper-V, Private Clouds and Consumerisation (supporting BYOD scenarios). Taking the audiences for those three days as a representative sample, it looks like about half of the Windows-based IT community still hasn't begun their PowerShell journey.
Get-Command finds all the commands (including aliases and functions) that are available to you in the current shell.
Get-Help provides help about cmdlets and features of PowerShell (in v1 and 2 this is all in the box; with PowerShell 3.0, you need to Update-Help).
Get-PSDrive tells you about the drives that PowerShell is exposing; not just the file system, but the registry and others.
Given those four cmdlets, you can get a long way by yourself, just through experimenation. Don't forget to use the -whatif parameter (or -confirm) on any cmdlet that might change something.
In PowerShell 3.0, you can benefit a lot from using the Show-Command UI in the PowerShell ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment) to help you with the parameters required to achieve a task. As a beginner to PowerShell, you can also learn a lot by looking at other people's scripts; the Microsoft Script Explorer for Windows PowerShell is a useful tool to find scripts and other great resources from online repositories.
There's no better way to learn PowerShell than to write some scripts that solve real problems, and there are a number of pre-canned problems that you can take a shot at in the Windows PowerShell Scripting Games. You're too late to enter this year's competition, but you can still try out the challenges, and once you've given it a try, you can see the expert solutions from some of the top members of the PowerShell Community.
I suggest that while you're getting used to PowerShell, you print a couple of quick reference guides (or cheat sheets) and keep them close to hand, or pinned up beside your monitor. You can also download a great free ebook called Mastering PowerShell from PowerShell.com, where you'll also find a bunch of other great resources (including another free ebook on PowerShell remoting, for when you've got to grips with the basics).
If you like to go and buy a book, then the beginner's book of choice is Don Jones' Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches.

Sopečná činnost v oblasti byla poprvé hlášena v roce 1937, poslední erupce byla pozorována rybářskou lodí v roce 1988 (toto hlášení však nebylo potvrzeno jinými pozorováními).

Flurry of fleet EV investment hits Southeast
This story first appeared in the Dec. 13 print edition of the GSA Business Report.
Auto companies unable to adjust to the coming tide of change — electrification, autonomy and connectivity — will likely not survive the next decade.
That was the smoke signal Andraes Bareid, electric vehicle account manager for the ERP software company Qad, picked up from the auto industry in 2019.
Bareid saw the prediction only amplify this year's struggles in the automotive sector as ships, heavy with cargo containers, stalled outside ports, and glistening lines of undriven cars awaited computer chips.
The industry as a whole contracted by 16% in 2020, while the electric car market expanded by 41% year-over-year, according to the International Energy Agency's 2021 outlook report.
"Little did we know how the pandemic would act as a catalyst to this change," he said. "It's not only regulatory change, consumer behavior, supply chain shortages, but it's also how we are choosing things differently."
Lightweight consumer vehicles tend to take the drivers' seat when it comes to electric vehicle development, but the past year has prompted a flush of investment in fleet and commercial vehicle production.
"The transformation is accelerating," Brett Pope, electric vehicle director of Volvo Trucks North America, told the crowd at the 2021 S.C. Manufacturing Conference and Expo in November. "We clearly see that when we talk to our customers and talk to our customers' customers."
Volvo Trucks North America, with headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., began manufacturing two electric tractors and a straight truck at a plant in New River Valley, Va., this year through a $400 million investment.
Customer demand and a spike in e-commerce prompted the company to fast track the production of the electric regional, or day-cab, vehicle, Pope said.
A $45 million grant from the California Air Resources Board also enabled the company to launch Volvo Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions, a three-year pilot project where the company uses battery-electric trucks and equipment to move freight between ports and warehouses in Southern California.
"The diesel combustion engine is not going away," Pope said. "It will be there, and it will continue in certain applications in certain regions of the world, in certain heavy, heavy-duty applications where it makes sense."
Earlier this year, the Volvo Group announced plans to go fully electric by 2030.
A few years ago, the only large commercial EVs on the market were transit buses, according to a 2021 market report from M.J. Bradley and Associates.
In 2021, companies can select from 40 different bus varieties. Close to 50 medium-duty and 29 heavy-duty electric vehicles populate the market today.
And that number is only growing, especially in the Southeast.
U.K.-based Arrival announced its $49 million investment in a microfactory for electric delivery vans in Rock Hill last fall, set to launch production during the second quarter of 2022. A few months later, it also tacked on a $41.2 investment at a microfactory in Charlotte, which will be able to assemble 10,000 delivery vans each year, according to the company.
On Dec. 6, the company announced plans to invest $11.5 million in a high-voltage battery module assembly plant in Charlotte, capable of producing tailored replacements for customers.
"By bringing the assembly of our proprietary high voltage battery modules in house, we're striving to be as vertically integrated as possible," Mike Ableson, CEO of Arrival Automotive, said in a statement. "This will enable us to have even greater control over the functionality and cost of our products and pass those cost savings on to the customer while also working toward our goal of zero waste production."
Mercedes-Benz invested $60 million in its North Charleston eSprinter van plant this year as well, while Oshkosh Defense announced its next-generation postal service vehicle production factory in Spartanburg in June. The $482 million U.S. Postal Service contract includes between 50,000 to 165,000 battery-electric and low-emission internal combustion engine vehicles.
"It's simply amazing how fast that particular industry has transitioned to zero emissions with vehicles like ours," said Mike Finnern, vice president of fleet customer success and EV product management at electric bus manufacturer Proterra Inc.
Finnern had just returned to the company's Greenville manufacturing center after visiting the American Transportation Association Conference and Expo in Orlando, Fla., where his team joked among themselves that "it was really hard to find a diesel engine in the entire 350,000-square-foot convention."
While bus electrification may lag behind consumer lightweight vehicles, he added that it ties in well with the sector's needs with its stop-and-go usage, fixed routes, depot-based operations and high mileage.
Proterra went public on the New York Stock Exchange this year, garnered a contract with Miami-Dade County, Fla., for 42 electric transit buses and 75 chargers in June and began to power electric forklifts and top handling machines used at ports in July.
"Getting to this point, it was almost a decade of infrastructure building at Proterra," Finnern said.
Targeted government recovery initiatives will play a major role in spurring on an expected 148.5% and 44.9% compound annual growth rate from 2020 to 2026 respectively for electric trucks and electric buses, according to Research and Market's U.S. electric commercial vehicle market forecast.
Federal infrastructure bill aside, Pope said most government investment in Volvo Trucks has come at the state level.
"They're not at a federal level at this point, but clearly we see certain states that are very active in this region doing incentives through carbon credit programs that help pave the way for the early adopters to prove that the solutions will work," he said.

Because of its use in retail products, the UPC Barocode or Universal Product Code is the most widely used and recognized of all barcode symbologies. The UPC Barcode was designed to identify a product's manufacturer and unique product number. Our UPC barcode font documentation and samples are specifically tailored to address encoding the UPC A or UPC Version A code. However, with a little work on your part, you can encode other UPC versions or UPC E. Contact us if you want us to walk you through the steps for encoding other than UPC version A. Its really easy.
A modulo-10 check digit. This number is then converted into a barcode using the UPC encoding standard.
Note that although the original specification dedicated 5 digits to the manufacturer number, recent changes to the specifications allow manufacturer numbers to be up to 9 digits long, and the product number to be 1 to 5 digits long. The total length of the UPC A Code is always 12 digits, with the first digit being the number system assignment and the last one being a check digit. Remember that UPC codes are numeric only.
If you go to http://www.upcdatabase.com and type in the number, you can see what I have on my desk. I'll give you a hint, the "D" in "DK" stands for Duncan. Check it out, its fun.
When encoding a UPC A barcode, the UPC number is divided into halves, with 6-digits in each half. These digits are surrounded by 2 "guard bars", so there are 2 guard bars at the beginning and the end of each 6-digi t half. So, when the code is assembled as a whole, there are 2 guard bars at the beginning of the barcode, 2 in the middle (called "center guards" and 2 guard bars at the end.
The bar and space encoding for each digit consists of 2 bars and 2 spaces within 7 total encoding positions, with the bar or space occupying 1 to 4 of the encoding positions. The UPC barcode is a "mirror" symbology, split in the middle. This means, for example, that if a 6 on the left side of the code is encoded in the sequence of "space, bar, space, bar", a 6 on the right side is encoded as the mirror image or "bar, space, bar, space". This mirroring combined with the check digit make encoding UPC codes using a barcode font more difficult than a non-mirror code such as code 39.
The last digit in the UPC code is a modulo 10 check digit. The purpose of a check digit is to verify that the scanner reads the code correctly. The barcode reader's decoder calculates the check digit by performing a series of mathematical operations on the digits that precede it. If the scanner calculated check digit and the check digit in the barcode match, the scanner concludes that it has read the barcode correctly and sends the data.
Since the check digit is a modulo 10, compute what single digit number makes the total a multiple of 10?
(83 + 7 = 90) So the check digit is 7!

In a long and successful ten-year partnership with GSK, AECOM defined the strategic brief and design concept for seven groundbreaking Innovation Hubs in the UK and USA, helping GSK to leverage space as an enabler in driving innovation and hit their goal of achieving double-digit growth. AECOM also created GSK's Global Workplace Guidelines and undertook various research, strategy and design projects for Corporate, R&D and Consumer Healthcare within GSK.
GSK strongly believe in the importance and impact of the Innovation Hubs in responding to the needs and challenges of the organisation. Change Management was instrumental to the success of the project – it was led by HR, who drove an intense Change Management programme, sponsored by leadership and rolled out across the UK and US with the support of AECOM.
With the SMART Working program, GSK sought to create a work environment where ideas would flow more freely, decisions would be reached faster and the environment would act as a catalyst to enabling its strategic priorities:
Grow a diversified business
Deliver more products of value
Simplify the operational model
Create a culture of empowerment
AECOM helped GSK to define these ideas and use them to create a Strategic Brief which addressed these goals and presented ways in which they could be achieved within the design of future workspace. This was put into practice in the form of seven Innovation Hubs, for which AECOM created the design concept. The Hubs were an exercise in bringing the customer to the heart of the workplace, through enhanced brand visibility and increased consumer awareness. A non-hierarchical, highly flexible, visible and efficient design was created which has a positive and measurable impact on individual and team performance. A post-occupancy evaluation revealed a 45% increase in the speed of decision-making and an 18% increase in perceived responsiveness to market. In addition, group collaboration and access to colleagues has increased significantly. Added to this, a 24% increase in the perceived importance of cross-team interaction in impacting innovation levels was found. Their 'Beauty of Quitting' Campaign was a product of the hubs, which estimated to have yielded increased sales in the US worth $50m.
The SMART Workplace program has been identified as a key contributing factor increased innovation, reduced product development cycles, boosted collaboration, and improved employee satisfaction. Post occupancy evaluations showed:
45 percent increase in speed of decision making
67 percent decrease in time lost by employees due to waiting for decisions, duplicating efforts
Email volume cut in half
42 percent increase in group effectiveness
