Those who have followed us for awhile know eNow well. It is a start-up (now getting more mature) bringing new tech around solar and batteries to cut the use of diesel in trucking and small applications of diesel-powered equipment. Since inception, they have shown steady growth. At the same time the market demand for reducing fleet carbon has mushroomed.
Why is this important to you? First, transportation is a big player in the CO 2 game. Their push into renewables and alternative fuels is material to our Paris accord goals. Second, you can be a smart shopper and support companies who embrace carbon improvements. Finally, as we drive more EV's and hybrids, much of this advance technology that is helping fleets get clean will improve our vehicle performance as well. We can piggy back, very quickly, their success.
eNow is just one company we have followed. Collectively these innovative start ups are shaping a much different world. A world in balance. A world that can sustain.financial growth the great quality of life.
