Let answer the question firstly looking at jonhr j post,
1 end user will ultimately decide, yes you are correct the end user will decide on our product and here's why. The end user needs to be sustainable not just for them self's but also for their customers Governments and states are putting in laws that mean end users need to move to a more sustainable product. What the OEM's in this industry can offer is one of three options lead acid, lithium iron or hydrogen. Forget hydrogen its just to expensive and the platinum plates in the fuel cell will need changing around every 12 month because of truck vibration. So this leaves lead acid or lithium iron. Lead acid has poor range and issues in heat, lithium again has major issues from catching fire due to failure or over heating when charging. To how long they will last. Every time you charge a lithium iron battery it looses part of its life span. Our truck offers the customer a 100% zero emission option with the same range productivity efficiency and cost effectiveness as a diesel but with out the emissions
2 other companies might compromise on their engineering we don't this is why it has taken longer than I wanted. We design and build without compromise.
When the truck hits the market customers will seen it and use it.
Now for swoops
we have no issues on funding our backers know what we are doing and support us, as for where we are based we have a design studio in the UK and a assembly plant in Dubai.
The trucks are built using sub assemblies meaning we don't need an assembly line, we can ship the modular to customers and can assemble them with in four hours. This is a complete 16 ton truck the seven units would only take four hours to completely assemble. When we started out on this project we were looking at diesel but as times have moved and we now know that diesel won't be around in ten years. we have used another technology. Instead of following the rest of the OEM's into battery or waist money on hydrogen we moved into another fuel source.
The reason nobody in materials handling industry is looking at this fuel is quite simple they are all looking at what each other are doing and just following each other. Nokia and blackbury all had the same technology as Apple only Apple used it. The same with cars every one had access to lithium iron batteries yet Tesla has shown every one up by using lithium and getting so far in front know one can catch them.
This is not sales propaganda. You might say well it sure look like it but the real reason is we don't need to promote the truck because the truck will just sell its self. We will be the only company that a customer can rent the truck from that would include fuel and service all for a fixed price over the term of the contract. With an 8 hour back in service guarantee or we pay them for every hour their truck is down over 8 hours.
We are not stalling we had made quite a big technological change and this took some time but we are ready now.
