How We Help Customers Achieve Their Sustainability Goals:
Looking Ahead
In collaboration with Caterpillar and our customers, we will continue to expand the installed base of BEV, energy-efficient and autonomous machines in our territories and train our workforce on maintaining this equipment. We will advance the collection and analysis of machine-level data to give customers proactive insights into production, efficiency and equipment service status. We will assist CIMCO’s industrial and recreational refrigeration customers to achieve their pathways to net zero with advice, audits and our expanding solutions. We will prepare for the expansion of our Remanufacturing operations, which will include, over the medium term, a move to a new, purpose-built facility in Ontario that will employ state-of-the-art energy and water management systems.
2021 Key Outcomes and Actions
- rebuilt 90 machines and remanufactured almost 4,400 components
- deployed additional capital and resources to our five remanufacturing facilities to enhance capacity and effectiveness
- completed rebuilds of two Cat 793 mining trucks – a project involving over 2,000 labour hours between our Québec City branch and remanufacturing operations
- discontinued CIMCO sales of all high GWP refrigerants
- booked orders for energy efficient machines and advanced technologies, including:
- 75 Net Zero Naturally CO2 refrigeration systems for customers in food, seafood, cold storage and recreational industries
- Cat 793F autonomous mining trucks that carry large payloads and use high-precision GPS, LiDAR and radar sensors to safely maneuver around personnel and light vehicles while employing all the expert braking and feathering techniques that take drivers years to master
- Cat G3516H generators along with systems integration and regular maintenance services for Hamilton Health Sciences’ combined heat and power plant as part of the customer’s effort to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 50%
- continued to support seven landfill gas-to-energy plants in our territories that use Toromont-supplied generators to capture harmful methane that is transformed into electricity
- expanded CIMCO’s offerings to include a CIMCO Net Zero Naturally heat pump offering that is four times more efficient than gas boilers and conventional chillers
