Battle Motors, Inc., formerly Crane Carrier Company, a 70+ year old manufacturer of Class 6-8 heavy-duty work trucks, and ENGS Commercial Finance Co., have partnered to launch an industry-best customer finance platform in Battle Motors Capital, powered by ENGS Commercial Finance Co. and Mitsubishi HC Capital America, Inc., related companies, and leaders in providing commercial finance solutions to equipment manufacturers and dealers.
Battle Motors Capital was created to support the sale of Battle Motors’s heavy-duty diesel, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and EV (Electric Vehicle) work trucks into the refuse, construction, utility, and general freight segments. Through its extensive dealer network, Battle Motors Capital offers competitive pricing on loans, TRAC leases, and balloon terms up to 84 months (about 7 years), and market leading Fair Market Value (FMV) leases for lower monthly payments for all its products.

We are confident it will drive incremental sales particularly for our Electric Vehicles.” In addition to customer financing, Battle Motors Capital also offers floor plan financing to its dealers through Mitsubishi HC Capital America, a related company to ENGS, and insurance to its customers through ENGS Insurance Agency throughout the US and Canada.
Christopher M. Schatz, Managing Director of Battle Motors Capital comments, “Battle Motors Capital has a unique opportunity to offer our dealers and customers a variety of competitive lease and finance products. Our mission is to make our Zero emission electric vehicles more affordable and available to a broader customer base.”
