US Utility Purchases Over $500,000 of Inverters from Go Power! by Carmanah for Large Utility Fleet

The customized Go Power! inverter solution was chosen as the lighter and more compact contender with a competitively-driven price.

VICTORIA, British Columbia--Carmanah Technologies (TSX:CMH) announces that a major Utility in the United States is equipping its fleet of service and repair vehicles with the company's proprietary Go Power! brand inverters. Able to respond to a unique challenge the Utility was having in outfitting their existing fleets with pure sine wave inverters, Go Power! answered the call with a custom fit solution valued at over $500,000.


The customized Go Power! inverter solution was chosen as the lighter and more compact contender with a competitively-driven price. The system allows drivers to power tools or office equipment without the use of grid-power by drawing directly from the vehicle's battery bank. Go Power! has provided complete inverter power solutions for a variety of fleet, utility and work trucks across North America. Go Power! has also been featured in Canada's Go Tire mobile fleet, recently seen on CBC's reality show, Dragon's Den.

"The Go Power! team was instrumental in helping us design a power solution for our vehicles and they supplied a fantastic product. Their customized solution is a great fit for us" says a representative from the Utility fleet's upfitting provider, who is responsible for the installation.

Bruce Cousins, Carmanah CEO, comments, "With the strong market share position and proven performance of the Go Power brand, we are now able to leverage this brand equity into fleet sales. Such large orders represent an increasing percentage of our revenue base."

Carmanah's Go Power!™ team will be exhibiting their power inverter product line at the following national trade shows: The Work Truck Show, March 6 – 8, Booth 5764; Mid-America Trucking Show, March 21 - 23, Booth 65181 and NAFA Fleet Management Association's Institute and Expo, April 24 – 25, Booth 722.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production

In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
