Hybrid Fleet Vehicles

howman writes "This article in the Toronto Star tells of a Canadian company called Azure Dynamics Corp. which has a novel approach to cutting fuel costs and harmful emissions in fleet vehicles. The novelty is not so much in their technology but in the fact that they are hitting the fleet vehicle users market. While Azure doesn't manufacture any of the components, it 'works with the companies that make all the parts for Canada Post's trucks or Purolator's vans - the engines, the chassis, and so on - to convert those vehicles into HEVs.' With an existing and potential client list that includes Purolator, Canada Post, the United States Postal Service and Renault and London Taxi International, it may not be long before you see one of their branded vehicles on a street near you."

    A partial list of things I hate about Erica:

    She thinks she's funny

    She has four of every color tank top in existence

    She sleeps with fake dogs (one of which has a hard face)

    She constantly buys bad DVDs and doesn't watch them even ONCE

    She doesn't like to listen to loud music in the house or car

    She's obsessed with losing Red Sox ticket auctions on eBay

    When she goes to McDonalds she gets three cheese burgers, two fajitas (I can't believe they have those), a 12 piece nugget, and pepperoni pizza happy meal

    I was playing Nirvana's unplugged album the other day and she didn't know what I was listening to

    Anyone got any advice?!

      Sounds like a normal woman to me. Maybe you are gay?

      Friday is burn Karma day. I have plenty to burn and moderating twice a week is getting to be a chore.

      Wait, isn't that a good thing? I would expect you would hate it if she did watch them.

      How about you 2 start communicating? If you can't communicate in a relationship, it won't last very long. You want advice? Find a quite place and spend a few hours discussing your differences without yelling or being childish. After that you'll either have a healthy relationship, or you'll break up.

      And another free advice: Don't ask for relation advice on /. It's like asking Saddam advice on human rights.

      Get her a puppy. A cute, cuddly one. A yellow Lab might be a good choice.

      Then get yourself a puppy. Name it "Erica".

      You'll both be happier - trust me.

    For slashdotters in the USA who like to pick up a few shares of foreign companies that look interesting, check out InteractiveBrokers.
    They'll let you trade securities on foreign exchanges for less $$ than most brokers let you trade domestic stocks.

    When I start seeing a slashdot effect on the stock market I'll be seriously impressed.
