Electric compact loader for Churchill Airport cold-weather testing.
Transport Canada is procuring one electric compact loader for Churchill Airport to evaluate cold-weather reliability, battery performance, and charging compatibility. The loader will be used for airside and groundside maintenance including snow removal, sanding, and sweeping, operating year-round to collect performance data. The notice is a Request for Proposal under the category of earth moving machinery. No specific qualifications or set-asides are mentioned, but the requirement for an electric loader in a cold climate suggests a specialized need.
