    What the project investment will enable

    Investing in this offer will enable Bisedge to purchase 5 new electric forklifts, which will be supplied to industrial and logistics companies in Nigeria. £50k purchases a high-spec electric forklift, 3 batteries, for round-the-clock operations, charging equipment, and includes the freight and duties to import the forklift.

    By supporting large manufacturing, industrial and logistics companies to switch to new electric forklift trucks, this investment will reduce diesel use by 55,000 litres per truck per year, and each truck will reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 124 tonnes annually. When Bisedge investigated how much diesel their customer's old forklifts were using, they found that they used 5-7 litres an hour.

    Bisedge offer full service of material handling equipment to their customers for affordable monthly fees, on long-term contracts. This enables companies to modernise their fleets with electric forklifts and other clean energy logistics solutions without the high up-front costs which they might otherwise face. Bisedge's customers are large companies with 24/7 logistics operations, so the carbon savings from switching to electric forklifts are substantial.

    Bisedge have a particular focus on getting more women working in the male-dominated logistics sector in Nigeria. They provide training and actively promote gender equality in the industry, estimating that for each forklift lease, 4 jobs are created.

    Bisedge

    The company aims to raise £250,000 from this bond issue and will use the funds to expand its portfolio of leased forklifts at blue-chip companies in Nigeria.

    Not only will your investment reduce carbon emissions by providing clean and efficient manual handling equipment, it will also provide good quality jobs. Bisedge have a target that women will make up at least 30% of their total forklift operators.

    Social and environmental impact

    Electric forklifts provide low carbon material handling solutions, helping to decarbonise logistics in industry. Bisedge’s electric forklift leasing, operations and maintenance service creates high quality jobs, with social security. Bisedge aim to train a 30% female workforce in this currently male dominated industry.
