Extra money to buy new trucks

Announcing a new service that unlocks government funding to buy new efficient trucks.

We can now help mid-to-large trucking companies access government incentives to invest in more efficient transport vehicles by reducing finance costs and paying cash from carbon credits.

Unique Opportunity

With no up-front costs, we can qualify fleet renewals for:

–             a 0.7% finance rate discount monthly

–             cash payments from carbon credits annually

Funded by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the finance discount lowers lease payments for the life of the lease and comes off your market interest rate.

The more fuel efficient your new vehicles are compared to those they replace, the greater the carbon credit cash bonus becomes, paid from an established Emissions Reduction Fund project annually for up to seven years.

Easy, Low Risk & No Fees

It’s an easy, low risk process with no up-front or ongoing charges that gives truck buyers extra cash on top of the fuel savings and other benefits that new trucks provide.

And it shows customers you are achieving real, measurable, government-backed environmental improvements as an innovator in your industry.

Why leave money on the table?

Don’t miss out! Contact me today to see how much funding is available for your new truck purchases in 2017 and beyond.

How will Blockchain Disrupt Freight Transport?

Blockchain technology could slash the cost of transactions and reshape the economy.

Blockchain technology will soon facilitate and track financial payments, cross-border trade and freight flows. A peer-to-peer digital network, blockchain is an open-source distributed ledger that records transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable, secure and permanent way, while also enabling ‘smart contracts’ that trigger transactions automatically.

Logistics companies are already using blockchain for commercial settlements of bills of lading and customs; to pay for international cargo fees with Bitcoin crypto-currency; to decentralise the tracking of shipping containers; and to record a globally accessible provenance trail for diamonds that has enormous applications for quality assurance in retail, agriculture and pharmaceuticals supply chains.

The impact of blockchain on freight transport will go hand-in-hand with the rise of autonomous and connected vehicles and other exponential technologies. Envision a world where self-driving vehicles, with routing and pricing software tuned to minimise energy use, are guided to the quickest route by real-time traffic updates and to the next customer by real-time requests, with blockchain eliminating the middleman to match freight with vehicles, charge transaction fees and set terms and conditions in a smart contract that sends payment to a supplier as soon as sensors confirm a shipment is delivered. No drivers, back office staff or banks required. Tolls, parking, energy and maintenance automatically transacted. Logistics companies face the prospect of competing with anonymous fleets of privately-owned vehicles optimised for quick, low cost delivery services.

Is this a realistic vision of blockchain’s impact on freight transport? What other possibilities are emerging? And how soon must we be ready for blockchain integration to our business models?
