HARPERHYBRID Innovation for a cleaner greener future
“BEWARE OF BUYING DIESEL VEHICLES”
“Beware of buying diesel vehicles, Grayling warns: Minister suggests an imminent air pollution clampdown will encourage a switch to cleaner cars.
The next few Years will see a huge shift in the Motor Industry as 4 in 10 on British Roads are Diesel, totalling almost 12 million cars.
Air pollution is contributing to about 40,000 deaths a Year in Britain and we want to support many industries which involve Professional drivers to move to the cleaner greener Electric and Hybrid Engines.
The secret of these next few Years is to offer a Franchise operation to the Professional Driver where they can operate under the HARPERHYBRID brand name whether they are a taxi driver or a delivery driver we have the long term solution.
An owner operator who owns typically today a Diesel Taxi has had to borrow money and usually on a 36 or 48 month finance agreement locking them into the same car for a 3 or 4 Year period. This means they will rack up a few hundred Thousand miles have high servicing costs in addition to the monthly payment. They are independent owner operator and might work for the local station cars Taxi firm. This has always been the way to finance and own a car. We now have a different solution. Franchise using HARPERHYBRID is the way forward with an Electric Hybrid car you never have the problem with servicing costs, just a brand new car every 9 months.
The most important benefit we are offering is very low cost entry level to change into a brand new Electric Hybrid vehicle with just a short 9 month agreement and one up front payment.
HARPERHYBRID has a solution – Supply a BRAND NEW HYBRID car and change every 9 months @ max 15,000 miles, offering the owner driver the latest model Electric or Hybrid vehicle and typically offering BMW 530e, Mercedes E350e and the next generation Audi A6 Hybrid which are all mid to high end prestige cars which affords the owner operator a more prestigious car to take on better business, working under a brand name allows them their owner operator status still under a franchise arrangement.
HARPERHYBRID has an extensive range of Saloon, Estate, 4×4 SUV including the BMW X5 4.0e Hybrid, Mercedes GLE500 hybrid. At the top end of the range on offer is the BMW 740e Hybrid and the Mercedes S500 Hybrid. New models will be coming next Year from Audi.
The franchise cost is dependent on the value of the car agreed upon with a contract period of just 9 months, the life of the car.
HARPERHYBRID has developed their own “APP” which connects the driver to the job in addition the owner operator is free to work with their existing customer base, as the franchise is a fixed fee for the Branding of Harper Hybrid, the supply of the car and the “APP”, the owner operator has complete freedom to operate how best suits them
We do NOT charge any job fee, the franchise is about our Branding and the supply of the HYBRID or Electric car.
This is unique and different to every other offering today and will be the driving force to our long terms success. The 9 month change is also key to change as the mileage never gets too high, keeping the HARPERHYBRID fleet fresh and new at the same time working with the car manufactures to always supply the latest technology, which will continue to evolve to ensure a cleaner greener planet.
Euro standards have got progressively tougher over the Years and include a limit to the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions new vehicles are allowed to produce. For example, the most modern vehicles now have to comply to Euro 6 emissions standard, which allows petrol and diesel cars just to emit just 0.06g / km and 0.08g /km of NOx respectively.
Drivers / Owner Operators
To become a franchise partner for HARPERHYBRID we require
- Medical check
- Criminal record check
- Knowledge test
- Communication skills training
- Uniform supplied – Black suit / white shirt / HH logo tie
We want our Franchise driver owner operators to be branded the same and act the same all arriving in the latest new cars which is to create an image of “we care” not just about the customer, but also about the environment.
Typically a Professional driver will operate a 12 hour shift and therefore will be driving many more hours than a typical office worker, which is why cleaner greener cars must change first by Taxi companies.
The most important aspect for us is for the driver to turn up on time at the time stated as the last job they do will be the last job they are remembered for and this is what keeps customers happy.
A typical driver we would franchise with would be somebody earning £500.00 per week comfortably, however being an owner operator they have the freedom to work as little or as long as they want depending on their circumstances.
HARPERHYBRID want to supply the car and the brand image for the owner / operator and an affordable cost and keep the fleet with the latest Electric and Hybrid technology cars.
