There are several advantages to using alternative fuels or hybrid vehicles in a rental fleet. Some of these are company image, reduced spill hazard, and economic benefits. When considering the air quality an alternative fueled vehicle has lower emission levels than the traditional gasoline engine. Generally speaking, when a vehicle is first started the emissions released are at their highest for a gasoline engine. A vehicle that runs on natural gas creates a very low release of carbon while a hydrogen powered vehicle only produces water as a byproduct.…
Some benefits to adopting a new ASRS technology system by Remstar includes a wide range of ASRS models to choose from, maximizing of storage space (approximately 75% storage space will be saved due to the design of the Carousel system design and various models such as the Vertical model which uses space all the way up to the ceiling instead of requiring a large area like many other ASRS systems and has more than 7000 different configurations), a 70% reduction in labor and salary costs (only one operator will be required for the ASRS system as opposed to a group of operators required for CanGo’s current system, which will save manpower time and costs), improved…
Employer-sponsored health plans buy medical insurance from insurance companies to give to their employees as benefits. The human resource department negotiates with insurance companies and selects a group health plan (GHP) to give to their employees as a basic plan. The employees can then purchase riders, or options such as dental or vision insurance, to add to their basic plan. Employers can also use a different network of providers for certain types of medical care for their employees. During open enrollment periods, which is a specified period usually offered once per year, employees can customize their insurance coverage to their families' insurance needs.…

SUV's are engineered from the same platforms that are used to create trucks and most of the time they share the same engine and components. Instead of having a bed like a truck, which is very light, they have an enclosed area for more seats or a cargo compartment, which is very heavy. The added weight forces the engine to combust more gas in order to be able to provide adequate power to move the added weight. This is the reason that SUV's get worse gas mileage than their truck counterparts. Even an SUV that comes with a small engine will get bad gas mileage because it has to struggle and keep the RPM's high in order to move the vehicle. Higher RPM's equals more gas consumption. The emissions that SUV's put out are not as bad as they were in the past. In fact most SUV's that are made today qualify as low emissions vehicles or LEV's. The emission requirements have helped SUV's to become more conscientious towards the environment, but they are still too much of a "gas guzzler". We must remember that petroleum is a non renewable resource and once we have depleted the petroleum we have it is gone.…

Cars have benefited us in so many ways, but what is the downfall to cars? One answer is gasoline which has a negative impact on the environment. It pollutes the air, invades the water, and when too much is inhaled can cause lung cancer. It is also a nonrenewable resource, what happens when it all goes POOF. Even worse, car crashes in the United States result in more then 40,000 deaths per year says the Institute in the Journal Injury Prevention.…
