The recent week brought significant developments in the power industry. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board's notable interest rate cut of 50 basis points has sparked discussions on its implications for manufacturers in the current and upcoming years. Meanwhile, San Bernardino, California, faced a disheartening ranking as the Dirtiest City in America due to air pollution. However, the city is taking a proactive step by introducing a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered commuter train, manufactured by Switzerland's Stadler. The initiative aims to combat pollution and improve air quality in the region. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) used in selective catalytic reduction to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines. Some DEF has been associated with engine failures in the heavy transport and lifting industry, highlighting challenges in emission control technology. On a more positive note, Canada's Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) is actively exploring hydrogen as an alternative fuel for commercial trucking. At the recent AMTA Industry Innovations Expo, they unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Class 8 truck prototype, developed with the collaboration of various industry partners. This initiative signifies a step towards promoting sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the transportation sector. In other news, leadership changes were announced for the Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies JV, Republic Services placed an order for 100 McNeilus electric refuse vehicles, and Himoinsa introduced a new gen-set lineup, reflecting ongoing innovations in the power industry.
