On May 13, 2014, Vision held second-round talks with a top-tier Canadian Energy Solutions Company to prototype a fleet Tyrano™ trucks at a remote mining site in Northern Canada. The mining site has a massive wind turbine facility which can produce hydrogen through an electrolyzer.  With the capability to produce on-site hydrogen, the mining company hopes to eliminate the need for shipping large quantities of diesel fuel (to the remote site) before onset of winter.  During the winter season, the shipping lanes are usually frozen.  In attendance, were also government officials from Natural Resources Canada and Industry Canada.  An official request for proposal from the Canadian Energy Solutions Company is expected sometime in the 4th Quarter of this year.
