FLEXIBLE PACKAGING FORECASTED TO GROW
The global market for flexible packaging is forecast to grow at an average rate of
3.4 percent annually over the next five years and reach $248 billion by 2020,
according to new research from Smithers Pira, The Future of Global Flexible
Packaging to 2020. A report in Thomas says the growth can be attributed to the
fact that flexible packaging is not as resource-intensive to make and that because
it takes up less space than rigid options, flexible packaging makes it less expensive
to ship products. Consumer demand for more responsible and sustainable product
packaging is another reason for the rise in popularity.
AUTOMAKERS, OTHERS SAY NO TO ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN TO FREEZE
US FUEL-ECONOMY STANDARDS
Many automakers, including Ford, Chrysler, General Motors (GM) and Honda,
are not in support of a national fuel-economy standards freeze and have submitted
alternative proposals for incremental increases. GM has gone all in and is proposing
a national zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, similar to the one operating in
California. Also lobbying against the freeze are the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the United Auto Workers. Perhaps the most shocking organization
opposed to the freeze is Shell Oil, which has said in comments filed with regulators
that U.S. policy should be "consistent with the aim of the Paris Agreement."
BMW INVESTING IN ELECTRIC FUTURE
The BMW Group plant in Dingolfing, Germany, is undergoing a major remodeling
to gear up for future demand for electric vehicles. Changes to approximately
65,000 square feet of space in the Dingolfing component plant include equipment
for manufacturing battery modules and a battery assembly line. While the fully
electric MINI will be built in Oxford, U.K., starting in late 2019, batteries for
the car will come from the new battery production facility in Dingolfing. The
neighboring plant in Landshut will manufacture the electric engines.
ATA COMMENDS SHELL FOR ITS PROACADEMY
Shell Lubricants is launching a web-based training tool, Shell ProAcademy, to
help fleet managers educate and train technicians on the importance of proper
grease and lubricant programs. In a statement, American Trucking Associations'
President and CEO Chris Spear said, "Continued education on products helps to
grow our industry by providing value to drivers and technicians, and ultimately
contributes to the overall success of our fleets." He added, "Companies who
invest in products like the ones offered by Shell demonstrate commitment to their
drivers and enhancing their fleet's operations."
