BASINGSTOKE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#electricvehiclechargingmarket--A new study from Juniper Research has found the global volume of EV charging sessions, where an EV’s battery is charged using a charging point, will exceed 1.5 billion per annum in 2026, from just 200 million in 2021. This remarkable growth rate of more than 665% over the next five years will be driven by greater government incentives for electric vehicles, as well as more widespread charging service availability.


The research identified incentives for EV ownership as having significantly increased take-up in Europe, with coordinated incentives packages needed in North America to stimulate growth. To support greater electrification, Juniper Research recommends EV charging vendors work with governments and other stakeholders, including fuel retailers, to plan coordinated public charging network roll‑outs, or the mass electrification of mobility will stall.

Home Charging Still Dominating EV Charging Sessions, but Not Revenue

The new research, EV Charging: Key Opportunities, Challenges & Market Forecasts 2021-2026, found that home charging will decline slightly; accounting for over 70% of all EV charging sessions in 2026, compared with just over 80% in 2021. However, the report found that this dominance does not directly translate into hardware revenue for charging point vendors, with public charging stations accounting for 56% of charging point hardware revenue globally in 2026.

Research author Nick Maynard explained: “While EV charging at home will largely remain dominant, public charging roll-outs will be a major focus going forward, and their installation will be critical to enabling users who do not have off-road parking to join the electric mobility revolution.”

Fast Charging Represents Next Battleground

The research found that as EVs become longer range and more powerful, fast charging DC (direct current) stations will be the next key competitive battleground within the EV charging landscape. The report recommends that vendors work on partnerships with key destinations, such as car parks and retailers now, in order to schedule fast charger roll-outs, or they will lose ground to faster-moving competitors.

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navis, a global provider of planning and scheduling software for freight railroads, has announced that Aurizon Bulk, part of the largest rail operator in Australia, has agreed to contract for the Navis Rail Operations System. This cloud-based software will be used to support Aurizon’s Bulk East corporate planning process. Navis will deliver integrated modules to support Aurizon’s locomotive, and crew shift and roster planning functions to improve planning and asset efficiencies.


The Navis Rail Operations System uses an intuitive user interface to apply specialized algorithmic and quantitative analysis tools to quickly build and test service design scenarios, including locomotive and crew planning. The platform also employs an integrated model of resources so that changes to the locomotive deployment plans or network details will be available for crew schedule and roster optimization and vice versa.

Previous implementations of the Navis Rail software have uncovered substantial savings in locomotives, wagons, and crews. According to Tom Forbes, the Head of Navis Rail, “Railways not only need the quantitative tools for optimizing asset utilization; they also need to develop plans and perform ‘what-if’ analysis with a finite amount of staffing. Systems such as Navis Rail help to preserve the institutional knowledge of a rail organization, which is endangered in the current business environment.”

Forbes also remarked that the supply chain issues that are stressing many businesses globally need new tools to keep up with rapid-fire changes in customer’s requirements. “The use of optimization to analyze changes in demand volumes and to quickly test new service design variations are absolutely necessary in today’s transportation environment.” Navis Rail has been working with Aurizon for several years on other projects and they have developed a great working relationship which will extend into the current engagement.

GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management company Eaton, in partnership with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), and the Department of Public Works at Fort Hood, Texas, demonstrated a microgrid’s ability to operate Fort Hood’s Robert Gray Army Airfield independently from the utility grid. The effort is the result of grants Eaton received from the U.S. Department of Defense.


Eaton researchers led by Senior Principal Engineer Vijay Bhavaraju demonstrated the microgrid’s ability to seamlessly “island” itself from the grid and optimize the use of sustainable power and energy storage to minimize operation of the on-site backup generators. The generators never came on during the short demonstration.

“Eaton’s demonstration of long-term resiliency at a critical asset such as the Robert Gray Army Airfield is an important milestone for the implementation of resilient infrastructure at military installations,” said Bryan Farrens, senior manager, Government Programs, Eaton. “Air-strike training, for example, is a key mission that historically would be at-risk if there was a long-term loss of utility power. With this effort, we are proving that with intelligent controls, installations like Fort Hood across the military can rely more on sustainable resources such as solar to meet the resilience targets.”

Eaton’s microgrid controller leverages Eaton’s automatic transfer switches and recloser controller to island the Robert Gray Army Airfield from the grid. The microgrid uses the energy storage, backup generators, solar power, and uninterruptible power system to ensure the airfield continues to operate for a minimum of 14 days to meet Army Directive 2020-03 (Installation Energy and Water Resilience Policy).

Congressman John Carter, a key supporter for the program, stated, “As the representative of Ft. Hood, improving our nation’s military capabilities and readiness is a top priority. Eaton’s success with the microgrid is great news for Ft. Hood and I look forward to seeing it in action.”

Eaton’s advanced microgrid controller manages the safety of the power system with an integrated protection system that communicates at a high speed between the utility connection and the building controllers. This allows the system to minimize any downtime on an outage on the distribution line and protects the equipment and operators.

Eaton’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services. We provide sustainable solutions that help our customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power – more safely, more efficiently, and more reliably. Eaton’s 2020 revenues were $17.9 billion, and we sell products to customers in more than 175 countries. We have approximately 85,000 employees. For more information, visit www.eaton.com

  • Siemens Energy will equip two research vessels with advanced diesel-electric propulsion systems and battery energy storage solution (lithium-ion batteries)
  • The technologies will reduce operational costs including lowering fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions by approximately 15,000 gallons per year and 5,700 tons, respectively.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, LLC awarded Siemens Energy a contract to supply power, propulsion, and control systems along with Siemens Energy’s battery storage technology for two research vessels. The new ships, named the Oceanographer and Discoverer, are being acquired by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and will support various missions, including general oceanographic research and exploration, climate and ocean ecosystem studies, and worldwide ocean survey and data collection.



Siemens Energy will equip both ships with SiSHIP Blue Drive PlusC™ advanced diesel-electric propulsion systems and BlueVault™ Battery Storage Solutions. The combination of technologies will enable additional fuel savings and emissions reductions by allowing NOAA to optimize loading on variable speed diesel engines. It will also reduce maintenance associated with the engines.

Walter Thomassie, managing director, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., stated, “The NOAA NAV Variant is truly the result of an intense, collaborative effort by the Thoma-Sea Marine team, analyzing and implementing the best solutions brought by the shipyard, our design agent (TAI), Siemens Energy, and others. As the first shipyard to install and commission the Siemens Energy Blue Drive PlusC™ advanced diesel-electric propulsion systems in the United States, Thoma-Sea immediately recognized Siemens Energy was able to optimize the system according to our specifications to further enhance the vessel’s capabilities and efficiencies.”

Anil Raj PE, president and chief engineer of TAI Engineers, said, “TAI Engineers worked closely with Thoma-Sea Marine and Siemens Energy to develop, for the government, an optimal vessel design with superior performance. The Siemens Energy installation helped in providing an ideal solution to maximize the vessel’s endurance, reduce fuel consumption and minimize its carbon footprint."

Compared to vessels with traditional fixed-speed diesel engines of similar size and operating profile, it’s estimated that the technology provided by Siemens Energy will lead to fuel savings of 15,000 gallons per year for each vessel – resulting in a reduction of approximately 5,700 tons of CO2. To offset this amount would require planting more than 370,000 trees.

“We are proud to work alongside our project partners Thoma-Sea and TAI Engineers, and the operators NOAA, and Naval Sea Systems Command, to build these two state-of-the-art research vessels. The contract award is a testament to the performance and reliability of our advanced emissions reducing technologies families, which have developed an extensive track record across a broad range of marine applications in recent years,” said Luke Briant, Head of Marine Solutions Americas at Siemens Energy.

The SiSHIP Blue Drive PlusC™ diesel propulsion technology has been installed on more than 80 marine vessels worldwide, including the world’s first all-electric car ferry, and the world’s largest cruise PAX ferry.

The two NOAA vessels are scheduled to enter operation in 2024 and 2025 respectively. Each will host a crew of 20 and can accommodate up to 28 scientists.

As we look to 2022, the Company is set to grow production by double digits in part from the incremental development locations and a full year’s worth of contribution from the acquired assets. With greater cash flow and liquidity, SilverBow remains well-positioned for strategic M&A and further de-levering.”

Addition of world-class cold storage and logistics operator with locations in Brazil’s largest reefer ports

SÃO PAULO, Brazil--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emergent Cold Latin America (Emergent LatAm), Latin America’s newest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics provider, announced today the acquisition of Martini Meat S.A., a market leader for cold storage, logistics and value-added services in Brazil. This acquisition, which Emergent LatAm completed through its operating subsidiary DMX Logística, adds four cold storage facilities to its growing regional network.


Martini Meat is one of the largest cold storage operators in Latin America, with facilities throughout the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, all near South Brazil’s largest refrigerated cargo ports. Its network consists of 74,000 pallet positions, 69,000 square meters of storage capacity, and over 400 employees. Martini Meat offers customers best-in-class temperature-controlled storage, handling and transportation services.

The combination of Martini Meat and DMX Logística unlocks significant new opportunities. Customers will now benefit from a full end-to-end logistics and transportation solution, from the processing plant to an Emergent LatAm warehouse, a container terminal or directly to the port. Both companies enjoy deep industry expertise, which will create new and innovative service offerings, and a seamless customer experience.

“I’ve long admired Martini Meat for its leading market position and deep customer relationships,” said David Palfenier, President of Emergent LatAm. “This transaction, combined with the transportation services of DMX Logística, allows us to offer customers a fully integrated cold chain logistics solution to Brazil’s growing protein market.”

“We are thrilled to welcome the team of Martini Meat to Emergent Cold Latin America,” said Evandro Calanca, Managing Director of Emergent Cold LatAm. “Brazil is the world’s largest and fastest growing protein export market, which makes it an essential part of our strategy. Martini Meat provides us a base for a complete network of cold storage facilities across Brazil.”

About Martini Meat

Martini Meat (http://www.martinimeat.com.br/) was founded in 1973 in the municipality of Apucarana.

The business has since grown to include operations in the South of Brazil in the cities of Paranaguá (PR), Ponta Grossa (PR), Itajaí (SC) and Rio Grande (RS). Martini Meat is focused on operations with accurate results and creative solutions.
