As a result, weere confident that weere environmentally compliant on the local, regional, national and international levels,, he said.
The company assigned resources as needed to satisfy the ISO requirements. Achieving the ISO 14001:2004 registration required that Bosch Rexroth Canada deploy a team to develop an implementation plan and participate in an environmental compliance audit monitored by a capable third party overseer.

Bosch Rexroth Canada is one of about 3,000 Canadian companies that have received this registration,, said Gervasio. That number is relatively low considering the number of companies and notable organizations operating nationwide. Bosch Rexroth has made this registration mandatory for all its sites globally.

$499,974 State Grant Supports Application Of Eatonns Hydraulic Launch Assist
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporationns fuel-saving Hydraulic Launch Assist (HLA) technology will be used on a south Texas fleet of urban shuttle busses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The shuttle bus emissions initiative was made possible by a $499,974 New Technology Research and Development (NTRD) Grant awarded by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). The grant, announced by HARC Program Director Rudy Smaling, builds on a highly successful 2006 project in which Eatonns HLA systems were installed on 12 refuse trucks under a State of Texas New Technology Research and Development Grant.
This is an important technology,, Smaling said. It cuts exhaust emissions and fuel costs, making it possible for both operators and the environment to come out ahead. The refuse trucks delivered fuel savings of 25 to 28 percent, and we fully expect similar savings from the shuttle bus application. Eaton is a leader in developing and applying hybrid technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, as well as those of nitrous oxide..
We collaborated with HARC on the refuse truck project and look forward to building on that experience in rolling out HLA technology into the shuttle bus market,, said Bradley Bohlmann, business development manager for Eaton Fluid Power Groupps Advanced Technology Team. HARC is a very forward-looking organization, and we could not ask for a better collaborator for the expansion of the HLA system and follow-on emission-reducing technologies..
Eatonns HLA system is a regenerative braking system that captures and stores the vehiclees kinetic energy rather than dissipating it as heat. Braking energy is stored in pressurized accumulators and then used to help accelerate the vehicle. The HLA system is an ideal hybrid technology for vehicles with duty cycles including many starts and stops because it efficiently captures and re-cycles energy using relatively simple, highly-durable components that are easily integrated into conventional drivetrains.
Eatonns Hydraulics Operation is a business segment of the Eaton Fluid Power Group. The business is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of a comprehensive line of reliable, high-efficiency hydraulic systems and components for use in mobile and industrial applications. Mobile and industrial markets include agriculture, construction, mining, forestry, utility, material handling, earthmoving, truck and bus, machine tools, molding, primary metals, automotive, power generation, port machinery and entertainment. Eatonns Hydraulics Operation provides customer-driven solutions under brand names such as Aeroquip, Boston, Char-Lynn, Eaton, Hydro-Line, Synflex, Vickers, Walterscheid, and Weatherhead.
