TELUS and Fillip Fleet Partner to Transform Fleet Management with Visa-Powered Connected Vehicle and Payment Solutions

TELUS, a world-leading technology company, has partnered with Fillip Fleet, an innovator in digital fleet payments to launch a next-generation fleet management solution in Canada, providing Canadian businesses with powerful tools to manage their fleets more efficiently and cost-effectively.  Bringing together TELUS' Connected Fleet, Telematics & Assets technology alongside Fillip's payment platform powered by Visa*, a world leader in digital payments, this new partnership addresses a significant market need, as Canada has 2.8 million fleet vehicles which collectively generate $53 billion annually, with 80 per cent being fuel spend.¹ Fillip Fleet is a digital-first universal fleet card, accepted at almost all 11,000+ fueling service stations across Canada, making it a versatile choice for fleet operators.

"This solution is about solving real-world challenges with smart, secure technology," said Heather Tulk, President, Commercial and Public Sector at TELUS. "We're transforming how fleets operate - so our customers can save time, reduce spend, and improve control. With up to 10 hours saved each month on bookkeeping and 5-10% in annual cost savings²."

As the exclusive telecommunications partner for Fillip Fleet, a Canadian-owned and operated company based in Calgary, TELUS is first to market with this advanced digital expense management platform. Fleet managers can access TELUS' real-time fleet management capabilities and Fillip Fleet's digital payment technology, providing comprehensive visibility and control over both vehicles and expenses through their respective platforms.

Wheat Yields in USA and China Threatened by Heat Waves Breaking Enzymes

Video: Wheat Yields in USA and China Threatened by Heat Waves Breaking Enzymes

A new peer reviewed study looks at the generally unrecognized risk of heat waves surpassing the threshold for enzyme damage in wheat.

Most studies that look at crop failure in the main food growing regions (breadbaskets of the planet) look at temperatures and droughts in the historical records to assess present day risk. Since the climate system has changed, these historical based risk analysis studies underestimate the present-day risks.

What this new research study does is generate an ensemble of plausible scenarios for the present climate in terms of temperatures and precipitation, and looks at how many of these plausible scenarios exceed the enzyme-breaking temperature of 32.8 C for wheat, and exceed the high stress yield reducing temperature of 27.8 C for wheat. Also, the study considers the possibility of a compounded failure with heat waves in both regions simultaneously, this greatly reducing global wheat supply and causing severe shortages.

Results show that the likelihood (risk) of wheat crop failure with a one-in-hundred likelihood in 1981 has in today’s climate become increased by 16x in the USA winter wheat crop (to one-in-six) and by 6x in northeast China (to one-in-sixteen).

The risks determined in this new paper are much greater than that obtained in previous work that determines risk by analyzing historical climate patterns.

Clearly, since the climate system is rapidly changing, we cannot assume stationarity and calculate risk probabilities like we did traditionally before.

We are essentially on a new planet, with a new climate regime, and have to understand that everything is different now.
