Power management technology enables clean, efficient operation for zero-emission buses

BAE Systems, a leader in heavy-duty electric propulsion, announced that the ten transit authorities members of the Association du Transport Urbain du Quebec (ATUQ) have ordered up to 1,229 battery-electric buses using BAE Systems’ Gen3 electric drive system, allowing them to run emission-free.

BAE Systems will provide its electric drive systems to Nova Bus for integration on the buses. The battery-electric bus order is the largest to date in North America and builds on the 1,800 buses in the province already powered by BAE Systems’ technology.

Re Gecko et al

Study history.

So-called unelected prime ministers are not in the least unusual:-
Asquith;
Lloyd George;
Churchill;
Eden;
Macmillan
Callaghan;
Major;
Brown;
May

All of the above became prime minister without having led their parties to a general election victory.

It's the way our system works.

I suspect that at least some of the criticism/resentment against Sunak arises from prejudice.

Nothing goes up for ever.

My simple minded perspective is that in the face of Russian aggression, Nato expansion and Chinese imperialism, defence is looking like a growth industry for some time to come.

if I were clever enough to trade in and out at inflexion points that would be wonderful. But I'm not. So I'm happy to hold for the long term.

[wad collector] 24/5/2023 08:50

That's quite a drop in the last month, though clearly the rise of the previous yr could not go on forever. I am happy to hold , but not dropped back enough to tempt me to buy back some I sold in March.

They changed the rules to put him there. He has no mandate from the people or the Tory party itself

[ohdearohdearohdear] 24/5/2023 07:38

What a load of nonsense from Dopey Gecko. Sunak isn't unelected. He was elected by his constituents and the Conservative party. Unless you are saying that the general election has now turned into a Presidential election....is that what you are saying? Now King Charles the III on the other hand.................

Tournesol.
"My experience of people who take aim at so-called globalists is that they are mostly conspiracy theorists"

Sunak is unelected.
Sunak/Wife is part of top 1%.

Pretty sure that makes him as described by Dope007

The main problem with labelling someone a conspiracy theorist is its usually 6months at most before their so called conspiracies are shown to be fact!

[tournesol] 23/5/2023 16:16

Presumably you use the term globalist in a pejorative fashion. My experience of people who take aim at so-called globalists is that they are mostly conspiracy theorists

[dope007] 23/5/2023 15:39

Sunak is an unelected globalist

[aeonflux] 23/5/2023 14:59

Its the London Defence Conference...

"Rishi Sunak blames defence chiefs for decision to slash Army troop numbers."

The Prime Minister tried to shrug off responsibility for the decision over how money is spent, saying: "My job is not to second guess the decision that our military chiefs are making"

That and the general sentiment from the conference might be what's caused the dip in the shares today?
