CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2020 / Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV:SAY) (the "Corporation", "Sparta Group" or "Sparta") a company focused on energy transformation and the upcycling of waste streams, has just signed a market development Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with TruckSuite™ LLC to form TruckSuite Canada™ Ltd.

TruckSuite™ LLC of Winston Salem, North Carolina, is a comprehensive technology-based, transportation support company that can offer the Owner/Operator all the truck ownership benefits usually exclusive to large fleets. At the heart of the TruckSuite™ package is a very powerful bi-directional data processing system that allows TruckSuite™ to communicate in real-time with the inter-workings of every vehicle in the network, on a 24/7 basis. The data gathering, in combination with various industry tools, enables TruckSuite™ to help significantly reduce the Owner/Operator's costly vehicle downtime - and maximize valuable vehicle uptime. Successful participation in the TruckSuite™ program means the vehicle operator can - Just Drive!

Under the terms of the MOU, Sparta will be responsible for operational development of TruckSuite Canada™, with the further responsibility of adding both technology and financial partners. Sparta's Supernova division was previously in development of their TreeFrog Transportation Optimization™ system, which is similar to the technology offered by TruckSuite, so a mutual technology-transfer agreement also forms an important component of the MOU.

"We have been very focused on providing Internet of Things solutions to improve operational efficiencies while upcycling waste energy for buildings and factories; however, now we will be able to do the same with transportation by marrying up the trucks' Control Area Networks (i.e. CANbus) with the Internet, artificial intelligence algorithms, and the suite of adaptive solutions presently provided under TruckSuite™. As we are faced with new realities brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever for advanced technologies to be integrated into fleets around the globe," said Sparta Group President & CTO, John O'Bireck. He went on to say "On behalf of all citizens, a big shout out is in order to all of our truckers who are keeping our supply chains open. Can't thank you enough."

TruckSuite Canada™ plans to help drivers obtain quality trucks and warranties, as well as tools to provide access to the financing program and even driving school tuition. A study prepared for the Canadian Trucking Association estimates a country-wide professional truck-driver shortage of 34,000 by 2024; forming a huge entrepreneurial opportunity for more drivers.

"We've put a lot of time and thought into creating this comprehensive program, so it's great to be joining forces with a company like Sparta. The Sparta team shares our vision of assisting the transportation sector with the added benefit of innovative technology that can complement TruckSuite™ to help reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions," said Lynn Murphy, President and CEO of TruckSuite™ LLC.
