The Market

  • Over 860 million vehicles in the world
  • Over 235 million vehicles in the U.S.

We have focused our efforts initially on a subsector of the light commercial vehicle in the US – the fleet vehicle normally considered a class II vehicle. Over 8M now operating, with UPS, FEdEx and the USPS accounting for about 320K of those. The class is among the lowest on the fuel efficiency chart. Fleet vehicles typically have lives from 10-15 years, but are usually standardized in many ways to manage repair and replacement costs. Fleet owners are looking for financially viable ways to go green, cut emissions and control or lower their fleet operations costs now and in the future. And that is exactly where EMIS™ and EAS™ have positioned NetGain!

Our initial market focus

Over 8 million fleet vehicles in the U.S.

  • Among the least fuel-efficient vehicle class of 5-7 mpg
  • Ability to scale quickly - most fleets have standard vehicles
  • Opportunity to reduce overall corporate emissions
  • Provides a good payback financially
  • Go Green in a short period of time without changing fleet
  • Aid in managing future energy price increases

So EASTM gives the corporate side a financial viable opportunity to be green and not be forced to turn over the entire existing fleet, cut emissions, and save on fuel costs into the future.

 

The Market Advantage

  • Allows fleet owners to benefit from hybrid technologies without having to replace vehicles before end of service life - could convert entire fleet much more cost effectively than buying all new hybrid vehicles
  • Most competitors are focused on manufacture of new hybrid vehicles
  • One design and one set of parts would work for entire standardized fleet for economies of scale, easier deployment, and preventive maintenance
  • Potential availability of federal and state environmental tax incentives
  • Provides PR opportunities and goodwill for fleet owners
