Think Tank Logistics has a technology and financing model that addresses major challenges in the logistics market. Their technology uses IoT sensors and meteorological data to establish individual truck baseline fuel efficiency. It then recommends customized technology upgrades for each truck based on this data and known fuel-saving technologies. Think Tank monitors performance after upgrades to calculate monthly fuel savings and coaches for eco-driving. Their financing model provides the upgrades to trucking companies at no upfront cost, with companies receiving increasing fuel savings over time and insurance discounts for safer driving. Think Tank receives audit and percentage of fuel savings fees, creating predictable cash flows. They are seeking $500k of a $3 million raise to launch.

1. Think Tank Logistics has patent-pending
technology and a financing model that solve the
market’s biggest challenges.
Our Technology
Step 1: Think Tank uses an array of IOT sensors
on each individual truck to gather data in real
time. Data is also captured from meteorological
sensors along the truck’s route.
Step 2: Think Tank uses this real-time data
matched against in depth geospatial route data
to precisely quantify and establish each
individual truck’s baseline fuel efficiency
performance.
Step 3: Think Tank combines this individual
baseline truck performance data with data from
its previously tested known fuel-saving and
emission-reducing technologies to recommend a
unique technology package optimized to each
specific tractor and/or trailer’s needs.
Step 4: Think Tank continuously audits truck
performance after the technology upgrades and
calculates in real time the monthly fuel savings
pool created by the retrofit.
Step 5: Think Tank also continuously coaches for
good driver Eco-Driving behavior and audits
other risks.
Our Financing Model
For Trucking Companies:
 There are no upfront costs other than an
initial refundable deposit.
 They receive an increasing amount of fuel
savings over time and reduce their total fleet
emissions by 30%.
 They identify, reward, and keep their good
drivers.
 They receive significant insurance discounts
because of the safer “Eco-Driving” behavior
of their drivers & other risk auditing.
 They win more shipping business from
Carbon Conscious Shippers.
For Lenders:
 They have access to a new lending market
(1,164,000 small trucking companies just in
the U.S. – with a potential of $100 billion in
technology upgrades).
 Think Tank monitors investment
performance and ensures loan obligations
are covered by fuel-savings by alerting to any
unexpected deviations from expected
performance and seeing that the deviations
are corrected.
For Carbon Conscious Shippers:
 Freight shipping bids can be awarded for the
first time based upon each truck’s data of
actual fuel efficiency and Greenhouse Gas
emissions – Think Tank will make available to
shippers a “Green Freight Index” of all
retrofitted trucks available to meet their
shipping needs.
For Investors:
 Think Tank receives a monthly audit fee, and
a percentage of the fuel savings which
results in strong, predictable cash flows.
 Think Tank is also creating additional
revenue streams including insurance
brokerage fees and “Green Freight Index.”
data sales.
We believe we can get 1% market penetration within 3
years of rollout, which equates to $150 million of
installs and $25 million per year of software access.
We are currently seeking the first $500k of what is
estimated to be a $3 million raise to get to market.

Our Opportunity
There’s a big market…
In the U.S. alone, there are 3.4
million Class 8 trucks. Class 8
trucks consumed 37.5 billion
gallons of fuel in 2014 and
produced 5.4% of the total U.S.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
97% of U.S. trucking companies
have fewer than 20 trucks, and
90% of them have fewer than 6
trucks.
That needs to make big changes…
Current government regulations
would require all new trucks to
have 40% better mileage, starting
in 2027.
There are technologies plus
coachable driver practices that
would increase the mileage of
every current truck on the road
today by 30%+ if they were
implemented.
And there’s a big reward…
The same technology that
improves mileage also reduces
GHG emissions proportionately
(and has other financial benefits).
If these technologies were
universally installed and retrofitted
on Class 8 trucks, it would save
11.25 billion gallons of fuel
annually and would cut U.S. total
current greenhouse gas emissions
by around 1.7%.
But there’s a big challenge for 97%
of trucking companies…
They don’t have a systematic way
to capture their emissions data,
the capacity to identify optimal
emissions-reducing and fuel-saving
improvements for their trucks, the
capital to afford the high upfront
costs, or the analytical capabilities
to quantify the financial return of
these improvements and monitor
them over time.
