A new case study from Mike Albert Fleet Solutions reveals the key to the success of Columbus Yellow Cab’s transition to fleet electrification.

CINCINNATI, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mike Albert Fleet Solutions, one of the nation’s top leaders in fleet electrification and electric vehicle (EV) fleet management, just released a case study about Columbus Yellow Cab’s evolution from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs and hybrids.

CINCINNATI, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mike Albert Fleet Solutions, one of the nation’s top leaders in fleet electrification and electric vehicle (EV) fleet management, just released a case study about Columbus Yellow Cab’s evolution from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs and hybrids.

The study’s release celebrates the three-year anniversary of the business relationship between Columbus Yellow Cab and Mike Albert Fleet Solutions. In March of 2018, Morgan Kauffman, CEO and owner of Columbus Yellow Cab, decided it was time to do what’s right for the planet and move away from ICE vehicles. Knowing that the shift to fleet electrification would be a job too big and specialized for anyone at his company, Kauffman contacted the EV experts at Mike Albert Fleet Solutions for help.

 «Mike Albert was extremely flexible when helping us not only organize the finances of switching to EVs, but also to locate all the EVs that we needed,» says Kauffman.

Over the years, Mike Albert Fleet Solutions has developed close working relationships with several OEMs in the EV space, including Tesla. The good will Mike Albert Fleet Solutions has built with Tesla made it possible for them to acquire 30 Tesla Model 3s for Kauffman, making Columbus Yellow Cab the first third-party Tesla shop in the world.

The result of Columbus Yellow Cab’s «electric» transformation has been very rewarding for them. The total cost of ownership for their vehicles—the cost of owning a vehicle that includes fuel, maintenance, depreciation costs and more—has decreased significantly.

Plus, having a fleet full of EVs and hybrids has provided them with an environmentally-responsible reputation that gives them an advantage over competitors in the transportation-as-a-service industry.

«We’re excited that EVs and fleet electrification initiatives have become top of mind for businesses like Columbus Yellow Cab and government agencies that have carbon footprint reduction initiatives and want a lower total cost of ownership. We’re proud to lead in this growing segment of the industry and help our clients realize the benefits of a zero-emission fleet,» says Nate Shadoin, Director, Sales & Fleet Electrification at Mike Albert Fleet Solutions.

Mike Albert Fleet Solutions has been active in the automotive electrification movement for the past ten years in pursuit of their mission to empower fleet clients to achieve their sustainability goals and improve their ROI with EVs. Through immense research and experience, their team has acquired extensive EV expertise including:

-Flexible financing terms for EVs
-Monetization of EV incentives, grants and tax credits
-TCO and ROI data collection and reporting for EV fleets
-Assistance with charging needs via charging infrastructure and consultation partners

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bridgestone Americas, Inc. (Bridgestone), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bridgestone Corporation and a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions, announced its first ground solar array providing power directly to the manufacturing process. The new solar array is located at the company’s Aiken County, South Carolina, Passenger/Light Truck Tire Plant in Graniteville, South Carolina. The new installation includes approximately 8 acres of solar panels that generate 2 megawatts of energy while reducing 1,400 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to the annual electricity use of over 200 homes .1 

«At Bridgestone, sustainability is core to our business and integrated into every level of our operation. Our global sustainability framework includes important goals in reducing CO2 emissions by 50 percent by 2030, as we strive toward our long-term environmental target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050,» said Paolo Ferrari, president & CEO, Bridgestone Americas, and executive vice president and executive officer, Bridgestone Corporation. «This solar array is another positive step in Bridgestone’s journey to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable society for all.»

Consistent with Bridgestone’s commitment to protect the environment, the Aiken County Passenger Tire Plant sends zero operations waste to the landfill.

«Renewable energy has many benefits for the environment and Bridgestone, most notably the reduction in CO2 emissions and reduced energy costs,» said Jim DeMouy, vice president, Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability, Bridgestone Americas. «Bridgestone is grateful for the support of state and local leaders and community partners who worked with us to make this solar array a reality.»

The Aiken County Passenger Tire Plant was LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council and is a Certified Habitat by the National Wildlife Habitat Council. In addition, Bridgestone offers a variety of programs through its onsite learning center in Aiken County where it provides free community outreach and training as part of Bridgestone Environmental Education Program which has received state and national recognition. The Aiken County Passenger Tire Plant has been honored by gaining membership to the South Carolina Environmental Excellence Program in July 2018 which required an extensive evaluation of the many deliberate efforts by the plant to promote environmental protection. Recently, the plant partnered with Clemson University, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to utilize its solar array as a pilot for the development of a sustainable ground covering utilizing native South Carolina plants to encourage native, low-maintenance biodiverse vegetation in and around solar arrays in the state.

Bridgestone has operated the Aiken County Passenger Tire Plant in Graniteville since 1998, producing passenger and light truck tires for original equipment manufacturers and retail. The plant celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018.

Bridgestone also operates its Aiken County Off Road Tire Plant in Trenton, where it produces large and ultra large off road radial tires.

GrandView Aviation’s ability to serve another region provides added value to customers who have enrolled in the company’s popular Altitude Miles Program. Members of the program are able to earn miles on charter flights that can be redeemed for catering, flight credits, and other amenities.

Spireon Launches GoldStar Wireless GPS Tracking Solution for Buy Here Pay Here Dealerships and Auto Lenders

IRVINE, Calif., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Spireon, the vehicle intelligence company, today announced the launch of a new wireless version of GoldStar ®, the company’s award-winning vehicle tracking and collateral management solution for Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealers and auto lenders. The…

IRVINE, Calif., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Spireon, the vehicle intelligence company, today announced the launch of a new wireless version of GoldStar ®, the company’s award-winning vehicle tracking and collateral management solution for Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealers and auto lenders. The first wireless device for the top-rated GPS provider, the new GoldStar Wireless hardware can be self-installed and activated within minutes to facilitate crucial data collection, monitor default predictions, locate on demand, and, when necessary, streamline quick asset recoveries.

With no hardwires or tools required for set up, GoldStar Wireless enables reliable reporting without the need for skilled technicians, streamlining vehicle onboarding and improving accuracy. An IP67 rating means the device is protected against accidental environmental exposures to water and dust for greater flexibility in installation locations.

«Hardwire installations require skill and incur costs,» said Brian Skutta, president of Spireon Automotive. «Now, auto dealers and lenders that need simple monitoring and quick recoveries can tap into the ease of installation GoldStar Wireless offers while enjoying the reliability of the GoldStar brand.»

GoldStar Wireless operates with an advanced, extended life battery of up to three years and allows dealership and lender customers to activate one of three tracking modes over the lifetime of the device to meet their needs: Quick Track, Daily Track and Recovery Track.

  • Quick Track: GoldStar Wireless is the first solution in the industry to use extended stops to automatically capture where a driver lives and works within the first 14 days of installation for automated validation of loan stipulations. GoldStar’s patented Reference Genie technology makes the distinction between typical and extended stops to create an accurate location profile for drivers, providing lenders with stronger risk mitigation.
  • Daily Track: Two weeks after installation, the device switches from the Quick Track mode to Daily Track, eliminating the time and labor associated with swapping modes to preserve battery life. Daily Track continuously validates the work and home addresses reported by Quick Track and verifies the health of the tracker.
  • Recovery Track: If necessary, customers can locate the vehicle on demand and can also deploy Recovery Track to identify the real-time location of a vehicle using patented Location Genie technology, which predicts the best time and place for vehicle recovery. Recovery Track also sends a notification to the dealer if a vehicle enters an impound lot. Impound lot alerts are powered by GoldStar’s national database of more than 10,600 impound lots which assures quick detection to reduce annual costs associated with impound lot fees for abandoned vehicles.

«The best part of GoldStar Wireless was how straightforward the installation was,» said Eddie Galindo, Finance Manager, Discovery Auto Sales. «We installed our wireless devices easily and have had no issues with getting data.»

The introduction of GoldStar Wireless expands the Spireon auto solution suite, which includes GoldStar Connect, a full featured mobile-application that helps BHPH dealers and lenders build customer loyalty and mitigate risk, while providing customers with the benefits of connected car technology. GoldStar Connect, which is also available in Spanish, offers real-time location, trip history, vehicle health alerts and recovery solutions for stolen vehicles.

RA’ANANA, Israel and MCLEAN, Va., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —  D-Fend Solutions, the leading counter-drone cyber takeover technology provider, announced today that its counter-small, unmanned aerial system (C-sUAS) technology, EnforceAir, already supports the remote ID rule recently passed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that requires remote identification (remote ID) for large categories of drones in the U.S.

D-Fend’s technology is remote ID ready in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

EnforceAir offered identification capabilities prior to the passage of the FAA’s final rule, supporting unique ID per serial number, accurate location information for the drone and ground station, and additional identification parameters.

D-Fend’s system will continue to support this regulation, providing customers with updated identification information following the adoption of the law by various drone manufacturers. System operators can see the remote IDs of detected drones via EnforceAir’s intuitive graphical user interface, offering law enforcement agencies and other organizations greater visibility and data

«The entire drone ecosystem should benefit from the FAA’s rule, including drone manufacturers, who have a vested interest in ensuring that their products are not used for illegal purposes; law-abiding drone operators, who will be able to fly their drones over certain crowds and at night; and law enforcement personnel, who will obtain important information from leading counter-drone technologies about drones and operators involved in dangerous or hostile incidents,» said Zohar Halachmi, Chairman and CEO, D-Fend Solutions. «D-Fend is honored that our technology has been tested, selected and trusted by top tier U.S. government agencies and we will continue to work with them to reduce the drone threat, while ensuring our continued system evolution includes the functionality required by new rulings.»

«This new rule by my former colleagues at the FAA is an important step in better regulating drones in the United States,» said Michael Huerta, former Head of the FAA and current D-Fend Solutions’ Advisory Board Member. «I strongly believe in D-Fend’s mission to support today’s drone-powered society by making it safer and more secure, which this rule and D-Fend’s technology will help facilitate.»

D-Fend Solutions’ multi-disciplinary team is closely studying this rule to anticipate its potential effects on the counter-drone space in the U.S. and act as a trusted advisor to its clients. The company continuously upgrades and improves its technology to benefit customers and comply with applicable rules and regulations worldwide.
