Cricket Pitch For Turner Fenton School
BRAMPTON: The City of Brampton and the Peel District School Board broke ground this week for the new Turner Fenton Cricket Pitch as part of several new projects developed under this unique municipal-school board recreational partnership!
Through the partnership's collaborative work to revitalize this space, the facility will provide
Management for Peel Region. "The launch of Ontario's first fully electric collection vehicle in Peel Region is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and a healthier environment for our residents and workers. We are excited to lead by example and hope it inspires others to follow."
Emterra Group operates 150 waste collection vehicles across Peel Region, most of which are powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by as much as 20% compared to diesel.
Adding to this fleet, the Mack Low Ride (LR) Electric vehicle is equipped with an automated side-loader and will operate in residential areas.
The LR Electric vehicle offers a standard 376 kWh total battery additional opportunities for Brampton residents to utilize the pitch and enjoy a sport they love.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said: “Very excited to announce this amazing funding partnership for more cricket in Brampton with Principal Kevin Williams. His is the first municipal school board partnership for new cricket infrastructure. I capacity for 42 percent more energy and an increased range between vehicle charges. Its fast-charging capabilities ensure minimal downtime, allowing it to cover collection routes efficiently. The vehicle has a much quieter operation during collection hours.
"The Mack LR Electric is a game-changer," says Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America. "What makes it ideally suited for residential waste collection is a two-stage regenerative braking system that helps recapture energy from the hundreds of stops the vehicle makes each day, even with an increasing load. At the heart of this incredible piece of engineering are four cutting-edge NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt hope this can be replicated elsewhere in the City as it is a win for the school board and a win for the City.” Director of Education at Peel District School Board Rashmi Swarup said: “This exciting partnership will result in a full-sized, fully lit cricket pitch, including artificial wickets and sight screens. We are excited for the opening expected in 2024!”
Oxide) lithium-ion batteries. It is a powerful truck with an extended range through twin electric motors that instantly unleash 4,051 pounds-feet of peak torque."
The pilot also has a mission beyond residential collection. During this next stage of fleet electrification, Emterra Group and Peel Region have teamed up with the Smart Freight Centre, to evaluate what equipment, charging infrastructure and approaches are best suited to the operational needs of a fully electric vehicle. The project will provide key data on the material aspects of future electric vehicle deployment for municipal and private fleets, including equipment performance, climate insights, driver feedback and community response.
"Canada's climate is unique, with sweltering summers and frigid winters," says CSO, Paulina Leung. "The Smart Freight Centre will work with us to monitor and evaluate comprehensive data from this pilot and assess its impact. This project aims to inform municipal and private fleet operators on future fleet electrification, air quality improvement, and noise reduction."
