Mitsubishi HC Capital America and ACT Research recently partnered on a four-part weekly video series, “A Conversation with ACT Research.”
The video series is designed for commercial truck dealers, upfitters, and end-users. Each of the three to four-minute videos covers a current topic of interest in transportation and provides alternative perspectives from industry veterans such as:
Steve Tam, Vice President, ACT Research.
Kirk Mann, Senior Vice President and GM of Transportation Finance, Mitsubishi HC Capital America.
The two experts have been friends for a decade and the two companies have a long-standing affiliation.
The first video was released on at the end of November and details an economic overview of the commercial truck market. The following video will examine equipment allocation, emerging technology, and the total cost of ownership.
“We always work to bring value to our customers and make it as easy as possible to understand and be successful in the commercial truck market,” said Mann. “I’m thrilled to be working with ACT Research to demystify and expand knowledge of the most pressing issues our customers face.”
“With the rapid pace of change in the transportation industry, there is no silver bullet, one-size-fits-all approach in decision-making for truck buyers,” said Tam. “Partnering with Mitsubishi HC Capital America creates a unique opportunity for us to provide business intelligence for the sector that combines our different areas of expertise to help navigate the transportation ecosystem.”
