How do the residual values of Atlas equipment compare to competitors?
They're very good. Probably a 10% residual, I would guess. Value-wise, if you look at the compressors and pumps, probably after three, four years, it could be up to 40% of the purchase price. Atlas Copco has a very good name in the market. They're over 150 years old as a company and have a huge market share. Even the name can command a higher residual and provide a quicker payback.

Are these pumps powered by diesel?
Some pumps are electrically driven, with electric motors that could range from 7.5 kilowatts to 30 kilowatts or even higher, especially if it's a high head pump. However, the majority of pumps are diesel-driven and now run on HVO fuel, a type of mineral oil that is cleaner for the environment. Most of the engines in Atlas Copco are Kohler. They can all run on HVO fuel, which reduces emissions and cuts the carbon footprint by about 30%.
