The Road Ahead: Why SLANT Exists

Welcome to SLANT. If you’re reading this, it probably means one of two things:

You’ve had it with the status quo in urban logistics…or you’re just really into trailers.

Either way, you’re in the right place.

We’re not another green startup clinging to buzzwords and band-aid solutions.

SLANT is here to get motor vehicles off the road — for real.

Why We're Here

Last-mile delivery is broken. Streets are gridlocked with vans delivering everything from a book to a burrito. Cities are choking on emissions. And the so-called “sustainable” alternatives? Half-baked at best. Too expensive. Too clunky. Too meh.

That’s where we come in.

We build modular electric drive systems that turn any trailer into a smart, self-powered hauler. For couriers. For local shops. For the people moving the urban economy on two wheels, or even on foot. Our tech is affordable, sustainable, and ready to scale.

We’re not waiting for policy to catch up. We’re designing around it.

A Movement, Not Just a Product

This isn’t about selling fancy equipment. It’s about giving small players the tools to punch above their weight.

We’ve already partnered with independent couriers, large logistics firms, local governments, and manufacturers who want to move differently. Now, we’re opening up, sharing what we learn, what we build, and what we screw up, right here.

This blog is where we’ll post:

• Field notes from pilots around the UK

• Rants and reflections on mobility, cities, and tech

• Behind-the-scenes glimpses of what we’re prototyping

• Ideas worth testing — even if they might fail

Want In?

If you're a courier, a trailer maker, a council, a cafe with a trailer, or a curious builder with a problem to solve, drop us a line.We’re actively testing, iterating, and looking for allies.

We’re SLANT.We're not trying to make delivery sustainable.We’re making it inevitable.

See you on the road.
