MILWAUKEE (January 18, 2022) – Carissa Gingras, senior director of marketing at Briggs & Stratton, spoke with Britt Wood, CEO of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) during a recent episode of The Big Green Podcast. The conversation focused on industry-wide challenges like labor shortages and upcoming regulations that are driving product innovation.

In the conversation, Gingras also touches on:

• A new solution from Vanguard^® engineered to maximize uptime and keep users on the jobsite longer – CXi with the Low Maintenance Package featuring Oil Xtend™. With the package Gingras explains, landscapers can work up to 250 hours between maintenance intervals.
• Changing emissions standards and regulations, which are boosting interest in electrification as well as electronic fuel injection (EFI) technology.
• How customer feedback gathered through intensive research is the single most important driver in new product innovation at Vanguard.
• How product innovations are put to the test at the Briggs & Stratton Power Application Center.
• The Vanguard Oil Guard™ system, and how that innovation is allowing for 500 hours between oil changes – five times the industry standard.
