Scott Family Housing Expands Solar Rooftop Project

EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hunt Military Communities (HMC), the largest U.S. military housing owner, today announced its project to expand on its leading initiatives to integrate additional solar rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems across its facility at Scott Air Force Base. This community includes more than 1,500 homes serving 3,000 residents. The 2.8 megawatt PV system will produce an estimated 3.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and will enable the community to draw 15-20% of its total electricity supply from clean, renewable energy. With this update, HMC has added more than 20 MW of solar across its housing communities nationwide. The project is slated to be completed by Q4 of 2021.

«Hunt Military Communities is wholly dedicated to ensuring that our communities are operating efficiently and with a minimal environmental impact,» said John Hoyt, Vice President of Hunt Military Communities. «Through the deployment of solar energy systems, we can help reduce energy costs and reinvest those resources into our communities, reaffirming our commitment to military families across the United States. We value the partnership with the Department of the Air Force in championing sustainability and the significant support of Scott’s military leadership.»

The installation of the rooftop PV systems will be built and operated by affiliates of True Green Capital Management (TGC), Hunt’s solar energy partner with whom HMC has installed ~12 megawatts of solar projects across six military housing sites. «We are honored to partner with Hunt and the Air Force to provide Scott Air Force Base residents with renewable and resilient energy supply right at their homes», said Dr. Ninios, TGC’s Managing Partner. These PV systems will further reduce Scott’s environmental impact and carbon footprint, ultimately decreasing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The project directly supports goals set forth by the Department of Defense, as well as the state of Illinois’ goal to achieve 100% renewable energy by the year 2050. For HMC, this is the next step in a broad-based effort to improve the sustainability of military housing nationwide. Col. J. Scot Heathman, Scott Air Force Base installation commander said, «We are very proud of our Scott Family Housing partner, Hunt, for taking this next step in providing sustainable energy for our base housing. Reducing our greenhouse gas footprint while providing economical electricity is a win-win for the installation. We look forward to years of renewable energy production right here at Scott Air Force Base.»

Global Geared Motors Markets, 2021-2026: Industry is Expected to be Highly Influenced by China and India in Terms of Demand and Raw Material Availability

DUBLIN, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Geared Motors Market – Global Outlook and Forecast…

DUBLIN, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Geared Motors Market – Global Outlook and Forecast 2021-2026» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global geared motors market by revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of approx. 5% during the period 2021-2026.

The global industry is expected to be highly influenced by China and India in terms of demand and raw material availability. Owing to the increasing focus on domestic production in the APAC region, particularly in India, the region is expected to grow significantly. This pattern is expected to persist in the long term, along with the globalization of trade in the Global South.

Trade levels in developing economies are projected to grow faster than in developed economies. The market is likely to grow with the growth in industrial production, enhancement in technological advancement, increase in urbanization and expansion of industries, and favorable trade opportunities in developing countries.

Global Geared Motors Market Segmentation

Capable to handle high-pressure loads and long-lasting performance are increasing the application of helical gearboxes. In 2020, helical geared motors held the highest market share as they last longer than others. They are projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. F&B, textiles, road construction machinery, chemicals, cement, and plastic are the major end-users, which are expected to drive the helical geared motors demand. However, easy handling along with high torque, low maintenance, and power consumption are likely to contribute to the growth of power transmission gears.

High trust levels and traceability are the major factors responsible for direct geared motor sales. The increasing demand for interconnectedness between consumers and businesses for reliability across the globe is also boosting the direct selling of geared motors. Reduced expenditure and deep market penetration are other factors driving the sale via direct channels. India and China are expected to witness the highest growth in direct sales owing to rapidly growing industrialization.

The rise in automation in several industrial processes and the high application of electric AC motors in various end-users such as healthcare, F&B, automotive, and other industries are likely to drive the market. The geared motors market growth is accelerated by the increasing use of electric AC motors in infrastructure and construction projects, especially in developing economies, which is likely to increase influence growth prospects of the segment. APAC is expected to witness significant growth over the next few years owing to the increase in purchasing power, high production of AC motor-driven applications, and growth in infrastructure projects in developing economies, especially in India and China.

Horsepower (rated power), starting torque, and high efficiency are the most important factors, which end-user industries considered while purchasing geared motors. 7.5 KW rated geared motors prefer aluminum frames as they are available in abundance. Geared motors ranged between 7.5 KW and 75 KW are expected to grow significantly. However, stringency in government regulations, which include, compliance to IE2 levels for above 7.5KW motors is expected to curtail the production of these machines.

In 2020, the demand for geared motors has been adversely affected on account of the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the impact level varies in intensity and scale as the industry is characterized by a high degree of end-user variability. Worm gear engines and helical gear motors are commonly used in the F&B industry with varying degrees of sanitary safety to meet the requirement in the production facility. North America is expected to generate the highest demand for geared motors owing to the presence of a highly established and rapidly F&B growing industry.

The automotive industry is expected to make a significant contribution to the global geared motors market share. However, due to lockdowns and restrictions, car sales are likely to be unpredictable. In H1 2020, the supply chain was disrupted and a realignment of contracts in the auto industry is expected. Suppliers of geared motors to the automotive industry are expected to confront heightened liquidity concerns.

Insights by Vendors

Vendors are likely to be adversely affected by the rapidly evolving technological climate as keeping up pace with continuous developments and enhancements is a major challenge. The rivalry among vendors is likely to intensify. The entry of large established motor firms is a major challenge for domestic and regional manufacturers. To maintain a strong market presence, suppliers are required to adjust and refine their specific products. The market is highly diversified on account of the presence of several manufacturers operating and selling their valued propositions worldwide.

PR Newswire

LONDON, 05 January 2021

LONDON, 05 January 2021 /PRNewswire Policy/ —

How HGV drivers get their COVID-19 test before leaving the UK for France.

Kent travel update for HGVs carrying dangerous goods, 5 January 2021

Drivers of HGVs carrying certain types of dangerous goods must get tested for COVID-19 before arriving in Kent.

The terms of use at Manston Airport and Ashford Sevington prohibit the following loads:

– explosives

– polymerizing substances

– infectious substances

– radioactive substances

– goods that are high consequence from a terrorism point of view

Drivers of HGVs carrying any of these goods will be refused access to these sites and must get tested for COVID-19 at alternative sites before arriving in Kent.

If you are not sure whether your load falls into one of these categories of dangerous goods, confirm with your company or consignor before departing from the depot.

Testing is available at various information and advice sites across the UK. Check whether the motorway service station or truck stop you plan to visit has any restrictions for certain dangerous goods before you travel.

Some companies are also providing private testing for their drivers; check with your company if this is being offered.

Kent travel update, 4 January 2021

Thanks to the support of the army, the backlog of HGVs in Kent has been cleared and hauliers making their way to Dover and the Eurotunnel continue to be tested swiftly and safely.

Drivers should check @KentHighways and Highways England for the latest traffic updates before travelling to Kent.

COVID testing

HGVs leaving England for France can only cross the Channel with evidence of an authorised negative COVID test, that has been conducted within the 72-hour period before their departure.

This is mandated by the UK and French governments.

We strongly urge HGV drivers heading to the Port of Dover to ensure they have a negative COVID test before travelling to Kent.

Free COVID-19 tests for drivers of HGVs, LGVs and vans are available at some haulier information and advice sites. Testing will be available at more sites soon.

COVID testing facilities are still available at Manston Airport (Postcode CT12 5FF) for HGV drivers heading to Port of Dover.

Eurotunnel traffic must continue to go via the M20, where HGV drivers without a negative test result or a valid Kent Access Permit will be directed to Ashford Sevington.

Significant queues for tests in these locations are likely. All drivers heading for France are urged to obtain tests before arriving in Kent and travelling to ports.

COVID testing is not available at any medical facility in the Kent area. If you visit a medical facility you will be turned away.

You must not leave your vehicle to try and be tested at another site.

Once tested, it will take 40 minutes to get a result.

If your result is negative, you will be directed to your departure point.
