  • GM’s new business will offer an integrated ecosystem of electric products, software and services for the first to last mile
  • BrightDrop’s electric pallet, the EP1, will be available in early 2021, and its electric light commercial vehicle, the EV600, will be on roads in late 2021
  • BrightDrop introduces GM’s Ultium platform to the commercial vehicle segment, and features Level 2 and DC fast charging capabilities
  • FedEx Express will be the first customer of the new, integrated solution

General Motors announced today a new business, BrightDrop, which will offer an ecosystem of electric first-to-last-mile products, software and services to empower delivery and logistics companies to move goods more efficiently. These BrightDrop solutions are designed to help businesses lower costs, maximize productivity, improve employee safety and freight security, and support overall sustainability efforts.

«BrightDrop offers a smarter way to deliver goods and services,» said Mary Barra GM Chairman and CEO. «We are building on our significant expertise in electrification, mobility applications, telematics and fleet management, with a new one-stop-shop solution for commercial customers to move goods in a better, more sustainable way.»

BrightDrop was born out of GM’s Global Innovation organization and joins the lineup of other recently launched Global Innovation startups, such as OnStar Insurance, OnStar Guardian and GM Defense. From a growth strategy standpoint, this new business will unlock areas of B2B, expansion of the Ultium platform and software and service opportunities.

GM estimates that by 2025, the combined market opportunity for parcel, food delivery and reverse logistics in the U.S. will be over $850 billion. According to the World Economic Forum, demand for urban last-mile delivery, fueled by e-commerce, is expected to grow by 78 percent by 2030, leading to a 36 percent increase in delivery vehicles in the world’s top 100 cities. At the same time, this increase in demand is expected to cause delivery-related carbon emissions to rise by nearly one-third.

To help meet this surge in demand, while reducing the impact on the planet, BrightDrop is developing an integrated set of solutions to help improve almost every aspect of first-to-last-mile delivery. The BrightDrop ecosystem includes:

First-to-last-mile products

BrightDrop EP1 – BrightDrop’s first product to market, the EP1, will be a propulsion-assisted, electric pallet developed to easily move goods over short distances – for example, from the delivery vehicle to the customer’s front door. Available in early 2021, the EP1 can help reduce package touch points, costs and physical strain on delivery drivers. EP1 features and benefits include:

    • Built-in electric hub motors with adjustable speed up to 3 mph depending on operator’s walking pace.
    • Maneuverable in tight spaces. 
    • Carries and secures approximately 23 total cubic feet of cargo.
    • Payload capacity of 200 pounds.
    • Adjustable shelving organizes contents.
    • Lockable cabinet doors allow for secure, remote access to contents.

BrightDrop EV600 – BrightDrop’s second product to market will be the EV600 — an electric light commercial vehicle purpose-built for the delivery of goods and services over long ranges. It will combine zero-emissions driving with a range of advanced safety and convenience features more common in consumer electric vehicles. EV600 features and benefits include:

    • Powered by the Ultium battery system, the EV600 is targeted to have an estimated range of up to 250 miles on a full charge 1.
    • Peak charge rate of up to 170 miles of EV range per hour via 120kW DC fast charging.
    • Over 600 cubic feet of cargo area.
    • Available at a GVWR of less than 10,000 pounds.
    • Segment leading safety features
      • Standard safety features2 include: Front and Rear Park Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam automatic high beams and HD Rear Vision Camera.
      • Additional available safety and driver assistance features include: Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, among others.
    • Cargo area security system with motion sensors to help keep cargo secure.
    • A 13.4-inch-diagonal, full-color infotainment screen.
    • Front sliding pocket doors, wide cabin walkways and a large auto-open cargo bulkhead door all contribute to optimize driver efficiency.

Early customer interest in the EV600 has been strong, with the first vehicles to be delivered by the end of this year. BrightDrop expects to make the EV600s available to more customers to order starting in early 2022.

Software-enabled services

BrightDrop offers an integrated, cloud-based software platform, which provides customers visibility and access to their BrightDrop products through both web and mobile interfaces. Built-in connectivity provides businesses with detailed data and insights that can help improve overall operations, including route efficiency, asset utilization and product upgrades. Drivers and couriers can utilize the mobile application for a variety of tasks.

BrightDrop mobile asset management – EP1 connectivity provides customers real-time features, including location monitoring, battery status, remote commands to lock and unlock, and over-the-air updates of connected features.

BrightDrop EV fleet management – EV600 connectivity provides fleet operators remote access, real-time location, battery and charging management, driver safety coaching and incident recording, remote diagnostics, safety alerts and predictive maintenance insights, and over-the-air updates.

Future concepts – The EP1 and EV600 are only the beginning. BrightDrop will continue to grow its product offerings over time to include a portfolio of integrated, zero-emissions products to help drive further efficiencies and address emerging customer needs. A number of concepts are being explored, such as a medium-distance solution that transports multiple EP1s, and a rapid load delivery vehicle concept.

Innovating with FedEx Express

BrightDrop is the result of extensive research and listening to challenges faced by delivery customers and then leveraging GM expertise to develop real-life solutions. An EP1 pilot program has already been completed in partnership with FedEx Express. During the pilot, FedEx Express couriers were able to effectively and safely handle 25 percent more packages per day with the EP1s. FedEx Express couriers shared feedback that the EP1s were easy to maneuver and reduced physical strain.

With plans to continue innovating, BrightDrop and FedEx Express have another pilot scheduled to take place in one of the biggest urban centers of the U.S. this quarter. FedEx Express is also slated to be the first customer of the EV600, receiving their vehicles later this year.

«Our need for reliable, sustainable transportation has never been more important,» said Richard Smith, FedEx Express regional president of the Americas and executive vice president of global support. «BrightDrop is a perfect example of the innovations we are adopting to transform our company as time-definite express transportation continues to grow. With this new suite of products, we will help improve the safety, security and timeliness of FedEx Express deliveries, while reducing our environmental impact and protecting the well-being of our couriers.»

BrightDrop operations

Travis Katz has joined BrightDrop as president and CEO from venture capital firm Redpoint Ventures where he was an entrepreneur-in-residence. Katz has an extensive background as a technology leader, entrepreneur and investor. This, combined with his track record of scaling global businesses, will help BrightDrop further GM’s vision of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion.

BrightDrop will initially serve customers in the U.S. and Canada. It will have a customer support team to assist with every aspect of operating and servicing BrightDrop products, including supporting charging and infrastructure installation, advising on upfitting services, and retrofitting a current fleet vehicle to integrate with BrightDrop products. BrightDrop support services will also assist with maintenance needs, including securing parts and scheduling repairs.

Customers will connect with BrightDrop through an independent sales and service network, leveraging a newly established BrightDrop dealer network to support vehicle sales and service.

Energistics Signs Collaboration MOU with The Open Group

HOUSTON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Energistics Consortium and The Open Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)…

HOUSTON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Energistics Consortium and The Open Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that enables their respective Members to collaborate more closely. This will ensure that the Energistics standards evolve to meet the requirements of The Open Group OSDU™ Data Platform.

Established in 2018, The Open Group OSDU™ Forum is a volunteer consensus-based Energy industry group consisting of over 175 Member companies. Its 1,300 participants have worked together to build a single cloud-based, open source platform for all energy data. This platform will eliminate existing barriers to data sharing – empowering the Energy industry to make faster, better informed business decisions. From the outset, the central tenet of the OSDU Forum has been to create a data platform backed by a standards-based ecosystem that provides OPEX and CAPEX benefits to energy operators and opens new opportunities to suppliers.

The Open Group has based the OSDU Forum on the success of its other open architecture initiatives in the Energy industry, including the Open Process Automation™ Forum (OPAF) and the Open Footprint™ Forum. The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment™ (FACE) and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) consortiums also merged the organizations and technical interests of their Members to develop standards that support the business needs and IT requirements of the respective ecosystems.

For 30 years, Energistics has facilitated a community of Oil and Gas industry experts that has defined the standards for moving upstream data between partners. Energistics joined the OSDU Forum in 2018 to support the development of the OSDU Data Platform, bringing Energistics standards and industry expertise to the table. These standards include WITSML™ for drilling/wells, RESQML™ for Reservoir and earth models, and PRODML™ for production data, as well as the Energistics Transfer Protocol which underpins the data standards.

Ross Philo, CEO of Energistics said: «While a number of companies are members of both The Open Group and Energistics, there is not a complete overlap. To enable seamless collaboration between stakeholders in both groups, we will establish processes to allow the harmonization of priorities and cross member participation. We are committed to supporting the success of The Open Group OSDU Data Platform and this MOU testifies to the spirit with which our two organizations work together.»

Phillip Jong, the OSDU Forum Chair, said: «The OSDU Forum is pleased to join forces with Energistics and leverage the existing Energistics standards, which have been developed by Energy industry experts over the past three decades. The OSDU Data Platform will provide implementations of these standards and expose the data to applications via OSDU APIs. In doing so, we will create executable standards through which business value can be rapidly delivered across the entire industry.»

U.S. Blueberry Farmers Testify to ITC of Import Harm

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Members of the American Blueberry Growers Alliance (ABGA), a group representing U.S. domestic blueberry farmers, today provided information to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) during a hearing on the impact of rising imports during the U.S. growing and harvest seasons. American blueberry growers across the country – mostly small, family-run farms – have been devastated by an influx in blueberry imports by 75 percent in the past five years,…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Members of the American Blueberry Growers Alliance (ABGA), a group representing U.S. domestic blueberry farmers, today provided information to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) during a hearing on the impact of rising imports during the U.S. growing and harvest seasons. American blueberry growers across the country – mostly small, family-run farms – have been devastated by an influx in blueberry imports by 75 percent in the past five years, according to U.S. import data.

«Because of booming domestic demand, we should be enjoying a market in which there is room for both domestic and foreign growers to profit,» said Jerome Crosby, Chairman of the ABGA Board of Directors and owner of Pineneedle Farms in Willacoochee, Georgia. «However, foreign government policies targeting the United States market and large corporate import interests have combined to bring massive volumes of blueberries into our market, increasingly during periods that in the past provided growers with the bulk of their revenues and often all of their profits for the year.»

«The massive increase in Mexican imports during our harvesting season has crippled the Florida blueberry industry and threatens its very existence,» said Brittany Lee, Executive Director of the Florida Blueberry Growers Association and owner of Florida Blue Farms. «Over the period 2009 to 2019, we saw imports from Mexico increase by 2,111 percent. We have experienced a significant decline in price per pound for fresh blueberries in Florida, and a huge loss of market share.»

Farmers said the U.S. blueberry industry has made extensive marketing efforts over many years to educate purchasers and consumers about blueberries, which has increased demand. «Foreign producers are taking the benefit of those efforts, in some instances by creating industries out of nothing and exploiting cheap labor and poor environmental regulation overseas,» said Rex Schultz of Heritage Blueberries in Bangor, Michigan and President of the Michigan Blueberry Advisory Committee. «Producers in foreign countries are totally dependent on our market, and they have every incentive to keep shipping more and more product here. This is not a sustainable situation for the American blueberry farmer.»

Imports have also had a devastating effect on blueberry farmers in Western states. «Ten years ago, imports filled an important role by ensuring supply of fresh berries in the few months where there was little to no production in the United States during the winter months. But this is no longer the case,» said Jayson Scarborough, a blueberry farmer in Central California. «Imports from Mexico and Peru, in particular, now enter our market throughout our harvesting period in California. Prices for these imported berries are extremely low, which means that when we begin to sell our harvests, the price point has already deteriorated significantly due to the presence of large volumes of imported fruit in the market.»

Farmers said that massive amounts of fresh blueberries coming in from Mexico and South America often arrive without a buyer. «Peruvian product can arrive in massive shipments, with hundreds of thousands and even millions of pounds of perishable fresh blueberries on one ocean-going vessel that has been in transit at least two weeks before being unloaded at U.S. ports,» said Shelly Hartmann, owner of True Blue Farms in Grand Junction, Michigan. «When these blueberries are released all at once onto the fresh market, they cause prices to crater. This pushes domestic production of blueberries grown for the fresh market into the frozen market.»

In addition, several members of Congress also testified before the ITC in support of American blueberry growers, including Reps. Austin Scott (R-Ga.), Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), Earl L. «Buddy» Carter (R-Ga.), Gregory Steube (R-Fla.) and John Rutherford (R-Fla.).

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is conducting a global safeguard investigation into imported fresh, chilled or frozen blueberries under Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974. The ITC will determine if the dramatic increase of foreign berries is «a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof» to American blueberry growers. 

About American Blueberry Growers Alliance
American Blueberry Growers Alliance (ABGA) is a national association representing blueberry growers and farmers in the United States. ABGA provides a unified voice for blueberry growers in states across the country, including California, Florida, Georgia and Michigan, advocating on behalf of their interests and for the long-term viability of the domestic blueberry industry.

WASHINGTON, 12 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de EE. UU. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC) advierte a los consumidores que eviten comprar o utilizar celdas sueltas de baterías de iones de litio 18650. Estas celdas se fabrican como partes de componentes industriales para paquetes de baterías y no están destinadas para la venta individual a consumidores. Sin embargo, se están separando, reempacando y vendiendo como baterías de consumo nuevas, usualmente a través de internet.

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1973 and charged with protecting the American public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call the CPSC hotline at 1-800-638-2772, or visit http://www.saferproducts.gov. Further recall information is available at http://www.cpsc.gov. (PRNewsfoto/U.S. Consumer Product Safety Co)

Peligros de las celdas de baterías 18650 sueltas

Las celdas de litio recargables, sin la protección correspondiente y que no son instaladas en un dispositivo como parte de una batería integral («celdas sueltas»), pueden ser peligrosas para los consumidores cuando se manipulan, transportan, almacenan, cargan o se utilizan para alimentar dispositivos. Específicamente, estas celdas de batería tienen terminales de metal positivos y negativos expuestos, los cuales pueden hacer corto circuito si entran en contacto con otros objetos metálicos como llaves o monedas dentro del bolsillo. Una vez sucede el corto circuito, las celdas sueltas se sobrecalientan y se dan fugas térmicas que pueden encender los materiales internos de la celda y expulsar con fuerza contenidos quemados, causando incendios, explosiones, heridas graves e incluso la muerte.

Además, la fuga térmica se puede presentar en las celdas sueltas si los consumidores usan estas baterías en cargadores no apropiados que permiten la carga por encima de las especificaciones de la celda. Desafortunadamente, cada vez son más los productos de consumo pequeños como dispositivos de vapeo, ventiladores personales, linternas y algunos juguetes que están utilizando celdas sueltas 18650 como fuente de energía.  La CPSC trabaja con diferentes sitios web, incluyendo a eBay, para eliminar estas celdas sueltas de sus directorios de ventas. 

Evite usar celdas de iones de litio sueltas 18650 separadas de paquetes de batería. Estas celdas usualmente son mal utilizadas como baterías de consumo individuales, pero no cuentan con circuitos de protección.  Para obtener más información de seguridad en baterías de alto nivel de energía, por favor visite: https://www.cpsc.gov/Regulations-Laws–Standards/Voluntary-Standards/Topics/Batteries/

La CPSC insta a los consumidores a reportar a la CPSC problemas que experimenten con baterías de iones de litio en: www.SaferProducts.gov.

WASHINGTON, 12 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de EE. UU. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC) advierte a los consumidores que eviten comprar o utilizar celdas sueltas de baterías de iones de litio 18650. Estas celdas se fabrican como partes de componentes industriales para paquetes de baterías y no están destinadas para la venta individual a consumidores. Sin embargo, se están separando, reempacando y vendiendo como baterías de consumo nuevas, usualmente a través de internet.

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1973 and charged with protecting the American public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call the CPSC hotline at 1-800-638-2772, or visit http://www.saferproducts.gov. Further recall information is available at http://www.cpsc.gov. (PRNewsfoto/U.S. Consumer Product Safety Co)

Peligros de las celdas de baterías 18650 sueltas

Las celdas de litio recargables, sin la protección correspondiente y que no son instaladas en un dispositivo como parte de una batería integral («celdas sueltas»), pueden ser peligrosas para los consumidores cuando se manipulan, transportan, almacenan, cargan o se utilizan para alimentar dispositivos. Específicamente, estas celdas de batería tienen terminales de metal positivos y negativos expuestos, los cuales pueden hacer corto circuito si entran en contacto con otros objetos metálicos como llaves o monedas dentro del bolsillo. Una vez sucede el corto circuito, las celdas sueltas se sobrecalientan y se dan fugas térmicas que pueden encender los materiales internos de la celda y expulsar con fuerza contenidos quemados, causando incendios, explosiones, heridas graves e incluso la muerte.

Además, la fuga térmica se puede presentar en las celdas sueltas si los consumidores usan estas baterías en cargadores no apropiados que permiten la carga por encima de las especificaciones de la celda. Desafortunadamente, cada vez son más los productos de consumo pequeños como dispositivos de vapeo, ventiladores personales, linternas y algunos juguetes que están utilizando celdas sueltas 18650 como fuente de energía.  La CPSC trabaja con diferentes sitios web, incluyendo a eBay, para eliminar estas celdas sueltas de sus directorios de ventas. 

Evite usar celdas de iones de litio sueltas 18650 separadas de paquetes de batería. Estas celdas usualmente son mal utilizadas como baterías de consumo individuales, pero no cuentan con circuitos de protección.  Para obtener más información de seguridad en baterías de alto nivel de energía, por favor visite: https://www.cpsc.gov/Regulations-Laws–Standards/Voluntary-Standards/Topics/Batteries/

La CPSC insta a los consumidores a reportar a la CPSC problemas que experimenten con baterías de iones de litio en: www.SaferProducts.gov.

Non-DEET Insect Repellents Gaining Share of US Home & Garden Insecticide Market

CLEVELAND, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new Freedonia Group analysis projects demand for home and garden insecticides to rise an average of 2.5% per year to $1.5 billion in 2024, boosted by <a target="_blank"…

CLEVELAND, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new Freedonia Group analysis projects demand for home and garden insecticides to rise an average of 2.5% per year to $1.5 billion in 2024, boosted by booming gardening activity amid the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Use of insect controls and insect repellents will continue to be supported by concern about insect-borne diseases, which will help to sustain an ongoing level of insecticide demand:

  • The US is home to a variety of endemic but rare insect diseases, and periodic outbreaks of dangerous viruses tend to be highly publicized.
  • Globalization and climate change also contribute to viruses from overseas occasionally gaining a foothold in the US.
  • In recent years, the insect-borne diseases generating the most concern include West Nile virus, Lyme disease, Eastern equine encephalitis, and Jamestown Canyon virus.

While DEET remains the most widely used active ingredient in insect repellents, DEET alternatives are rapidly gaining market share. In particular, oil of lemon eucalyptus products have performed well in recent years and are expected to continue posting fast growth. The strong health and environmental profile of oil of lemon eucalyptus repellents makes them popular for children and for backyard use.

Picaridin-based products have also become increasingly common since first becoming available in 2005. These products are popular by being odorless and effective, although they tend to carry a price premium over DEET products and are less attractive than oil of lemon eucalyptus to environmentally minded customers.

  • lawn and turf products, such as pyrethroids and neonicotinoids,
  • garden care products

Demand is also segmented by formulation:

  • liquids
  • aerosols
  • granules
  • powders and dusts
  • other formulation (e.g., gels, pastes, solid forms such as blocks and bars)
