Extreme cold: The region's tugboats are in high demand – TVA Abitibi-Temiscamingue
Anthony Dallaire | January 19, 2024
Since dawn, the cold has made life difficult for many residents of Témiscabiti.
At Remorquage Richard in Rouyn-Noranda, the entire fleet, ie 26 semi-trailers, had to be deployed on the roads to reinforce the vehicles.
In cold weather or on the eve of cold weather, Remorquage Richard's supervisor, Mathieu Béliveau, reminds us of the mistakes to avoid, including leaving the vehicle with the remote starter.
In a northern climate like Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the question arises: electric or gasoline car?
The debate is ongoing, but according to CAA-Quebec spokesman David Marcille, it is certain that each type of vehicle has its advantages.
CAA-Quebec is also starting to build out a whole new fleet of vehicles specializing in the repair of electric cars.
Currently they are only available in the Quebec and Montreal regions, but CAA-Quebec is looking to expand its service to peripheral regions in the coming years.
In the meantime, the organization is recalling methods 4, 10 and 30; Make 4 starting attempts of 8 to 10 seconds each, resting 30 seconds between each attempt.
