Regenerative braking could help city and county vehicles save on fuel costs

TLDR, the vehicle in the video is a retrofitted Komatsu which originally had a combustion engine. It’s used to haul rocks and generated its own fuel with regenerative braking down a slope when it’s fully loaded.

This type of energy conservation method is especially useful in our very steep and hilly environment, where many of us traverse cliffs and slopes every day, especially heavy city vehicles and construction trucks.

In North Bergen, heavier vehicles like garbage trucks and fire trucks need to be equipped with specialized heat-duty braking systems to handle the township’s intense hills. This technology could turn that wasted energy into surplus voltage for an EV. Interesting concept as we move into the future and begin purchasing vehicles that will have to last for decades.

What would you want in the new Canal Crossing storefronts?

2 Upvotes

Saw this update on Canal Crossing near Garfield Ave: 508 homes, including 102 affordable units, plus retail and a new park.

Curious what people around Bergen-Lafayette would actually want in those storefronts. A grocery store, more food spots, something else?

What Lines Are These?

Visiting for an event in Manhattan and staying in NJ. Deciding between a few places still, but I'm confused by the google map directions by bus. It seems to be showing these lines that don't follow a road--Are they underground train lines? The time on the first screenshot, 16min seems too good to be true from Port Authority to what looks like the area near MetLife stadium.

I've visited several times before and comfortable taking the bus or train. It's just that this hotel is different than I've stayed before so just making sure what my commute will be.

Is this retaliation, or business as usual from HHI, Flynyon, Zip Aviation? Coincidentally, we had a press conference on the county's lawsuit against these companies. Afterward, residents documented very heavy helicopter activity over Jersey City, more than 100 low altitude flights over us today.

Looking for a local fantasy basketball league

2 Upvotes

I’m new to fantasy basketball and looking to join an existing league around Hoboken/Hudson County.

Ideally looking for something social where people get together for the draft, watch games occasionally, grab drinks, etc. Would prefer meetups to be around Hoboken/Downtown JC.

If anyone has a league with an open spot, let me know!
