SAINT-BRUNO-DE-MONTARVILLE, QC, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ – MONTONI, the Québec leader in sustainable real estate development, is currently completing construction of the largest privately owned green roof in Canada at the Écoparc Saint-Bruno industrial campus. This significant achievement represents an investment of nearly $5 million. The landmark project, developed in partnership with Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), has already been hailed for its compliance with the most stringent sustainable real estate development standards, having targeted two major certifications, LEED Gold and Zero-Carbon Building (ZCB). It now includes green roofing with an area of some 246,000 square feet—equivalent to nearly four soccer fields—extending across its two buildings.

Benefits

The green roof surfaces, created by eco-design firm Ohasis Tech and installed by Toiture D. Jean, represent a further step toward reducing the buildings’ carbon footprints and their impacts on local ecosystems. The living roofs will deliver improved water management, counteract the heat island effect, contribute to biodiversity development, capture air pollutants and improve the buildings’ energy efficiency.

“For us, this is one more step in the right direction, creating a sustainable built heritage that future generations will take pride in. Écoparc Saint-Bruno is tangible proof of our commitment to developing spaces that create value—not only for our clients, but also for the communities where we build.”

Dario Montoni, President, Groupe Montoni

“The largest green roof in Canada is located on public infrastructure, the Vancouver Convention Centre, with an area of some 258,000 square feet. The largest to date in Québec was atop the STM’s Centre de transport Stinson, extending over some 100,000 square feet. It’s extremely inspiring to see private companies like MONTONI that dare to change industry thinking and practices and that truly walk the talk when it comes to the environment. Toiture D. Jean is proud to partner with visionaries like these who are enabling us to fulfil our mission and become an industry leader in green roof installation.”

David Jean, President, Toiture D. Jean

TAILG Unveils New Product S96MAX at EICMA, with High-Efficiency Integrated Motor and Fast Charging Technology

Published

on

By

MILAN, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ — As the world’s leading electric two-wheeler brand, TAILG launched its flagship new product S96MAX at the International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) on November 6. TAILG also showcased its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology, marking a significant breakthrough in the performance and range of electric two-wheelers.

 

Two Cutting-Edge Technologies Create a Buzz

In recent years, the global trend towards low-carbon travel and growing environmental awareness have driven rapid growth in the electric two-wheeler industry.

On November 6, TAILG invited Luca Talotta, a prominent figure in green mobility, as the product experience officer to unveil the S96MAX globally and introduce its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology.

The S96MAX is equipped with the industry’s first three-in-one integrated motor, the Star Ring Magnetic Motor. It features an axial flux motor structure that integrates the motor, transmission, and electronic control system. With an efficiency of up to 95%, it accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 km/h.

Comprehensive data indicates that the S96MAX achieves a peak power of 15000W. Overall range has increased by 13.5%, energy recovery efficiency by 108%, and motor size and weight have been reduced by 50%.

Another highlight of S96MAX is the Nebula Fast Charging System, the industry’s first low-voltage, high-current, high-rate charging solution. TAILG’s custom fast-charging pile can charge up to 80% in just 10 minutes, with a charging power of up to 20 kW.

It significantly improves charging efficiency and reduces costs, and can be expanded to more electric two-wheeled models in the future. In just the time it takes to have a cup of coffee, the S96MAX is ready to hit the road again.

In addition, the S96MAX is equipped with various intelligent features, including a TFT smart dashboard with multi-screen interaction, 55W wireless charging, and 1080P front and rear HD cameras. This offers a new option for users who pursue high-quality mobility.

EICMA Accelerates TAILG’s Overseas Expansion

At the exhibition, TAILG showcased 12 different models, attracting global clients for collaboration. The urban commuting and high-speed electric motorcycles with EEC certification saw strong interest for partnerships, while the off-road series Y1, Y3, and Y5 attracted much attention.

From product exports to brand expansion abroad, TAILG strategically set the goal of “recreat another TAILG overseas” in 2023. From launching the TLG brand to establishing factories abroad and participating in major global industry exhibitions, TAILG has taken significant steps toward brand globalization.

With the commissioning of Vietnam Smart Manufacturing Base and the opening of Indonesia Operations Center, TAILG has established ten smart manufacturing bases globally, with an annual production capacity exceeding 15 million units. TAILG operates seven marketing centers worldwide, exporting products to over 90 countries and regions, and leading the two-wheeler industry in quality exports.

Regarding technological innovation, TAILG has rapidly built core technology and product competitiveness with industry-leading R&D centers such as the Global E-Mobility Programme Research Institute. It has launched achievements such as sodium electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, driverless technology, fast charging and battery swapping technologies.

At the exhibition, the renowned American motorcycle brand ZERO unveiled the model Neutrino, jointly developed with TAILG. TAILG is committed to leading the industry’s high-quality development through technological innovation.

As a global pioneer of long-range electric vehicles and a partner of the United Nations in electric mobility, TAILG will continue to develop new energy solutions that lead the way in global low-carbon mobility.
