Battery electric buses are registering faster growth in demand across the country, primarily due to the support of federal and state governments (in form of subsidies and grants) for the adoption of zero-emission buses. Furthermore, plug-in hybrids may not play any significant role in the near future in the U.S. electric bus market, mainly due to their manufacturing complexity, high cost, and tailpipe emissions.

Electric buses with length more than 40 feet are expected to remain the larger category in the market during 2019–2024. This is primarily due to the difference in fuel mileage in diesel hybrid and diesel buses, which favors hybrid technology for longer articulated buses.

Electric buses that run on lithium-ion batteries are gaining popularity and witnessing considerable growth in demand in the U.S. electric bus market. Lithium-ion batteries are safer than other batteries in the market and are, therefore, more preferred for large-sized electric buses. Furthermore, falling prices of these batteries, coupled with their advantages such as lower maintenance cost, smaller size, lighter weight, higher energy density, and lower self-discharge over nickel–metal hydride batteries, are supporting the market growth in this category.

During the forecast period, inductive charging is expected to be the fastest-growing category in the U.S. electric bus market, as it facilitates faster charging, thus reducing the range anxiety of operators. Owning to this factor, several charging system manufacturers are collaborating with electric bus makers and public transit authorities to boost the adoption of these systems in the country.

CVS Health contratará a 15,000 personas en los EE. UU. en el cuarto cuatrimestre

WOONSOCKET, Rhode Island, 19 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) anunció hoy que está contratando candidatos calificados para cubrir 15,000 puestos de trabajo. Estos puestos nuevos y existentes ayudarán a la compañía a continuar respondiendo a las necesidades de las comunidades de todo el país durante los meses de otoño e invierno, cuando se espera que aumenten los casos de COVID-19 e influenza.

WOONSOCKET, Rhode Island, 19 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) anunció hoy que está contratando candidatos calificados para cubrir 15,000 puestos de trabajo. Estos puestos nuevos y existentes ayudarán a la compañía a continuar respondiendo a las necesidades de las comunidades de todo el país durante los meses de otoño e invierno, cuando se espera que aumenten los casos de COVID-19 e influenza.

Farmacéutico y técnico en farmacia de CVS Health.

Más de 10,000 de los puestos nuevos a tiempo completo y parcial son para técnicos de farmacia acreditados en las sucursales de CVS Pharmacy y se cubrirán lo antes posible, lo que ayudará a aumentar el apoyo para los pacientes y los colegas profesionales de la farmacia. Muchos de los puestos son temporales con la posibilidad de convertirse en permanentes.

Este 20 de octubre, la compañía también celebrará el Día del Técnico de Farmacia promoviendo un mayor alcance de la práctica que permitiría a los técnicos de farmacia capacitados administrar las vacunas COVID-19 bajo la supervisión de un farmacéutico certificado en inmunizaciones. Como parte integral del sistema de atención médica, los técnicos de farmacia pueden ayudar a satisfacer la necesidad urgente de aumentar la distribución de una vacuna de manera segura y rápida y ampliar la capacidad del personal médico para abordar la pandemia.

«Por lo general, se necesitan miembros adicionales del equipo cada temporada de influenza», señaló Lisa Bisaccia, directora de recursos humanos de CVS Health. «Sin embargo, estamos proyectando una necesidad mucho mayor de técnicos de farmacia capacitados este año en vista de la presencia continua de COVID-19 en nuestras comunidades. Estos trabajos ofrecen una oportunidad profesional gratificante, con horarios flexibles, potencial de progreso y un entorno de apoyo mientras ayudan a las personas en su camino hacia una mejor salud».

Bajo la supervisión directa de un farmacéutico acreditado, los técnicos de farmacia de CVS Health siguen sirviendo como un recurso confiable para los pacientes al procesar recetas, dispensar medicamentos, brindar información a los clientes o profesionales de la salud y realizar tareas administrativas. También son indispensables para administrar las pruebas de COVID-19 en más de 4,000 sitios de prueba de autoservicio en sucursales seleccionadas de CVS Pharmacy en todo el país. En esta función, son fundamentales para ayudar a frenar la propagación del virus y ampliar el acceso a la atención, especialmente en las comunidades menos atendidas.

Entre los puestos adicionales de trabajo que hacen parte del esfuerzo de reclutamiento de la compañía están los de farmacéuticos, enfermeras, enfermeras practicantes, asistentes médicos, profesionales de casos de beneficios para afiliados y empleados de centros de distribución.

Finalmente, para apoyar las farmacias CVS Caremark y CVS Specialty, la compañía está reclutando para varios miles de puestos de representantes de servicio al cliente que trabajan desde casa en todo el país, con cientos de vacantes en varios mercados, entre ellos Indianápolis, IN; Kansas City, MO; Knoxville, TN; Mt. Prospect, IL; Orlando, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; y San Antonio, TX. Estas oportunidades de tiempo completo comienzan con 30 horas a la semana y ofrecen un horario flexible para las personas que buscan regresar rápidamente al trabajo. Los candidatos para estas oportunidades pueden postularse fácilmente en línea y realizar una prueba de trabajo virtual en línea.

«Al aprovechar la innovación y la tecnología de CVS Health, podemos ayudar a que más estadounidenses vuelvan a trabajar desde la comodidad de sus propios hogares, donde pueden contribuir a los esfuerzos continuos de la compañía para ayudar a resolver los desafíos de atención médica del país», dijo Jeffrey Lackey, vicepresidente de Adquisición de Talentos de CVS Health.

Los 15,000 puestos adicionales son un incremento del esfuerzo de contratación acelerado que se anunció en marzo para contratar a 50,000 nuevos colegas en apoyo de la respuesta de la compañía a la pandemia.

Las oportunidades para los colegas a tiempo completo incluyen un salario competitivo, capacitación remunerada y un generoso paquete de beneficios. Los aspirantes pueden ir a cvs.jobs para postularse. 

Información sobre las medidas que ha tomado CVS Health para hacer frente a la pandemia de COVID-19, que incluye el apoyo a los proveedores de atención médica y los médicos que enfrentan problemas financieros y administrativos, se puede encontrar en el Informe de respuesta al COVID-19 de la compañía.

CVS Health es un empleador que ofrece igualdad de oportunidades y acción afirmativa. No discriminamos en el reclutamiento, contratación o promoción por motivos de raza, etnia, sexo/género, orientación sexual, identidad o expresión de género, edad, discapacidad o condición de veterano protegido o por cualquier otro motivo o característica que prohíben las leyes federales, estatales o locales relevantes.

Acerca de CVS Health
A los empleados de CVS Health los une el objetivo común de convertirse en la compañía de salud más centrada en el consumidor. Evolucionamos en función de las necesidades cambiantes de los consumidores y de conocer a las personas donde estén, ya sea en la comunidad en uno de nuestros casi 10,000 puntos de contacto locales, en el hogar o en la palma de sus manos. Nuestras ofertas más recientes (desde las sucursales de HealthHUB que están redefiniendo lo que puede ser una farmacia, hasta programas innovadores que ayudan a controlar las afecciones crónicas) están diseñadas para crear una experiencia de mayor calidad, más simple y asequible.

Global $125+ Billion Vehicle Electrification Markets, 2020-2025 – Major Players Featured are Bosch, Continental, Denso, BorgWarner, and Mitsubishi Electric

DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Vehicle Electrification Market by Product…

DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Vehicle Electrification Market by Product (Start-Stop, PTC, EPS, Electric Air Conditioner, ISG, Starter Motor, Alternator, Actuator, Electric Pump-Vacuum, Oil & Water), 48V, ICE, BEV, HEV, PHEV, Vehicle Type, and Region – Global Forecast to 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The Vehicle Electrification Market is Projected to Grow at a CAGR of 11.9% to Reach USD 129.6 Billion by 2025 from USD 73.7 Billion.

The vehicle electrification market comprises major manufacturers such as Bosch (Germany), Continental (Germany), Denso (Japan), BorgWarner (US), and Mitsubishi Electric (Japan)

The market for BEVs is estimated to witness the fastest growth in the vehicle electrification market.

BEVs are projected to lead the vehicle electrification market, in terms of value, during the next 10 years. Automakers are seeing BEVs as a gateway to achieving fuel emission and economy standards set by governments. Government tax incentives and state rebates have boosted the proliferation of BEVs. Asia Oceania and North America are the fastest growing regions for BEVs. Increasing charging infrastructure in North America would be responsible for the shift from conventional ICE vehicles to BEVs. OEMs of this region have also invested significantly in vehicle electrification. This would also drive the demand for BEVs.

The electric power steering (EPS) is estimated to be the largest segment of the vehicle electrification market.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems are power-assisted steering products that eliminate the association between the steering system and the engine. EPS is the most popular steering system in the global market as it reduces fuel consumption and emissions, limits the required servicing, and improves maneuverability. In Europe and North America, almost all vehicles have EPS, and in Asia Oceania, the trend is growing rapidly. Hence, the EPS segment is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.

Asia Oceania: the largest vehicle electrification market in the automotive industry.

Asia Oceania is the leading vehicle electrification market as the region represents countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India, with the world’s highest vehicle production. The automobile industry is flourishing, especially in South Asia. Additionally, Asia Oceania has created hubs for automobile manufacturers and automotive component suppliers. Considering the vehicle electrification market in the Asia Oceania region in 2019, the passenger car segment is estimated to lead the market, comprising more than 80% of the vehicle electrification market in the region, followed by the LCV segment, in terms of both volume and value.

As Asia Oceania has the largest share of passenger cars, ICE vehicles are expected to dominate the vehicle electrification market in Asia Oceania. Countries such as China and India have plans to upgrade their emission regulations by 2020. For instance, India is planning to skip BS V regulations by leapfrogging to BS VI. This is a positive development for the vehicle electrification market. Additionally, the demand for more electric and electronic components in vehicles helps drive vehicle electrification.

Alaska Airlines launches Embraer 175 jet service in the state of Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Starting Oct. 18, Alaska Airlines will add jet service on the Embraer 175 aircraft in the state of Alaska. The E175, operated by regional partner Horizon Air, will serve select markets in Alaska.

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Starting Oct. 18, Alaska Airlines will add jet service on the Embraer 175 aircraft in the state of Alaska. The E175, operated by regional partner Horizon Air, will serve select markets in Alaska.

With the reduction of air service in Alaska earlier this year, the E175 jet gives Alaska Airlines the flexibility to increase daily frequency between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to provide year-round service to King Salmon and Dillingham.

«This has been an especially challenging time for Alaskans both due to the pandemic and the reduction of air service last spring,» said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president of Alaska Airlines. «As part of our commitment to Alaskans and the communities we serve, we are introducing a new aircraft to our in-state 737 fleet. The E175 supports additional flying and keeps Alaskans connected within the state and beyond.»

At 76 seats, the E175 is the ideal size for many communities where larger jets are not the best option throughout the year.

«The E175 is a perfect aircraft to complement the current flying in Alaska,» said Joe Sprague, president of Horizon Air. «Our crews are focused on supporting Alaska Airlines and committed to the same outstanding service Alaskans have come to rely on for 88 years.»

With no middle seats, the regional jet is configured with 12 seats in First Class, 12 in Premium Class and 52 in Main Cabin. Onboard amenities include Wi-Fi access, Alaska Beyond Entertainment – which includes hundreds of free movies and TV shows streamed directly to customer devices – and power outlets in First Class.

Tickets to all destinations Alaska Airlines serves are available for purchase at alaskaair.com.

Alaska Airlines and its regional partners serve more than 115 destinations across the United States and North America, providing essential air service for our guests along with moving crucial cargo shipments, such as food, medicine, mail and e-commerce deliveries. With hubs in Seattle; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Portland, Oregon; and Anchorage, Alaska, the airline is known for low fares, award-winning customer service and sustainability efforts. With Alaska and its Global Partners, guests can earn and redeem miles on flights to more than 800 destinations worldwide. Learn more about Alaska at newsroom.alaskaair.com and blog.alaskaair.com. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK).
