AZUR COMPANY TRUCKING CARGO 1347 Colin Ave White Rock, HE V53 8F0 Memorandum Date: 26/Sep/2023 To: Carina Cardoso, Head of Engineering Department From: Mariyam Sohail, Engineering technician leader Subject: Opportunity to raise profits and reduce carbon footprint Introduction Over the past decade the carbon awareness around the globe has increased, with big companies like Pepsi and Walmart assessing their own carbon footprint. As the engineering world keeps evolving and adapting, more than 100 companies in Canada have transitioned to using electric transportation methods. This not only helps reduce carbon emissions but also opens up additional funding opportunities from the Canadian government. The trucking industry has been striving due to the constant need for transport. However, online news publications and automotive websites have started to inquire about how dangerous these carbon emissions produced by large trucks are? Some of these sources are EPA[1], BBC science focus[2] alongside modern day news sources such as The New York Times[3] .As the world continues to grapple with the impacts of climate change, many individuals are becoming increasingly concerned about their environmental footprint. To maintain investor trust and regain credibility with clients, it is crucial for Azur trucking companies to make changes within their engineering department and actively work towards becoming an eco-friendly company.This will benefit Azur trucking by: ● Reducing the overall cost of maintenance ● Government paid charging stations ● Rebate on taxes ● Providing a better brand image ● Reducing carbon footprint

I believe that by implementing these factors, we can establish a competitive advantage over our rival trucking and transportation enterprises. Our trucks will be engineered to produce zero emissions and will be manufactured using components that are both cruelty-free and emission-free. This will pave the way for a truly innovative and environmentally conscious trucking industry in the 21st century, by embracing these environmentally conscious initiatives, we will capture the interest of the emerging cohort of investors and customers who are actively seeking to drive positive change in our ecosystem. This strategic approach will not only enhance our reputation but also position us as a leader in implementing sustainable practices. If the proposal is approved, I would suggest forming a team of three engineering technicians, including myself, to conduct extensive market research in China. China has demonstrated exceptional success in the electric truck market, selling an impressive 36,000 units, which represents a staggering 91% of the global total. Notably, no other country has achieved sales exceeding 1,000 new electric trucks in a single year. To facilitate this endeavor, I kindly request that the company cover the project costs. Two team members will be dispatched to China to conduct in-depth research on the trucks, while one team member will remain in Canada to explore government grants pertaining to electric vehicles. I will provide a comprehensive cost breakdown in the table below. Cost analysis: Persons Airfare (return ticket included) Accommodation Transportation Meals Total Cost 1 $1,595 $230 $45 $130 $2000 2 $1,595 $230 $45 $130 $2000 Authorization Please sign and date below once the criteria are approved.
