AI Storm Launches Personalized Used Truck Leasing Services for Diverse Industries

AI Storm Initiates Customized Used Truck Leasing Service

AI Storm has officially launched a unique used truck leasing service designed specifically for various industries such as logistics, construction, and mobile sales. This new service stands out by combining the company’s extensive experience in truck sales and leasing with an innovative AI engine that dynamically calculates vehicle prices.

Background: Rising Demand for Used Trucks

As we approach 2024, the logistics industry is preparing for what has been coined the '2024 Logistics Problem.' This situation is aggravated by the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) which has led to extended wait times for new vehicle deliveries. Consequently, the demand for used trucks is soaring. However, traditional financing models with fixed lease periods and uniform residual value settings fail to accommodate the varying operational rates across different industries.

AI Storm's Unique Advantage

AI Storm distinguishes itself with its multifaceted business model within the mobility sector. The company engages in LED vision, ad truck advertising, and vehicle sales and leasing, facilitating the development of sophisticated schemes that merge these diverse data streams with AI technology.

Service Overview

Target Vehicles:

- 2t, 3t, 4t, 10t trucks
- Trailers, refrigerated vehicles, dump trucks, and special vehicles

Leasing Model:

- Personalized negotiations allowing for tailored periods, residual values, and maintenance terms.

Pricing Calculation:
1. Market price data
2. Vehicle history and operational expectations
3. AI-driven supply-demand forecasts

With this approach, dynamic leasing fees can be proposed to clients.

Additional Features:

- 24/7 breakdown assistance
- Alternative vehicle arrangements
- Telematics for preventive management
- Options for vehicle changes during the lease period

Four Key Features

1. AI Dynamic Pricing:
Utilizing over 900,000 auction and retail market updates each day, fair pricing is recommended in real time.

2. Multi-Lease and Fleet Optimization:
For fleet operators looking to adjust their fleet size regularly, monthly flexibility in vehicle numbers and types is offered.

3. Resale and Carbon Reporting:
AI provides support for vehicle resale upon lease completion, along with detailed reports on residual value and CO₂ reduction impacts.

4. Asset Formation and Tax Savings:
For truck fund owners, a combined service of truck sales and operational contract facilitates both asset growth and tax benefits.

Future Plans

By the end of 2025, AI Storm aims to establish a pool of 500 vehicles and expand its service network to eight locations across the nation. Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans to introduce a battery residual value-linked lease for EV and fuel cell trucks.

Additionally, AI Storm is working on a SaaS platform that will optimize dispatching and demand forecasting using AI, contributing to a reduction in overall CO₂ emissions within the supply chain.
