A cold room without cold transport isn't a cold chain. It's a cold start.
The last mile is where the majority of African cold chains lose the most value; produce leaves a temperature-controlled storage hub and cooks in an open truck; arriving with half its shelf life gone, and eroded trust, before it reaches the buyer. Solthera closes that gap with an end-to-end hybrid electric cold fleet: every vehicle GPS-tracked, every cargo IoT temperature-monitored, and every delivery sealed with a Proof-of-Cold-Chain-Custody Report in its Digital Product Passport.

Our Financing Model
You don't have to buy the cold chain. You can earn from it.
This is how we scale the cold grid and put cold-chain income into the hands of thousands of owner-operators; creating jobs, growing micro-businesses, and reaching rural areas no central fleet ever could.
“Collateral is a cost. Harvest is an asset.”
How Lease-to-Own Works
01
Start with what you have
Step into a Solthera e-motorbike, e-tricycle, or e-truck with minimal upfront capital; or convert your harvest into a down-payment.
02
Earn from day one
AfriChill OS sends verified delivery orders straight to your phone. Your vehicle works from the moment you join the Solthera network; never idle, always earning.
03
Pay as you earn
A manageable weekly or monthly deduction, designed to sit comfortably below what the vehicle earns you on the network.
04
Own it over time
Every payment builds equity. At the end of the term, the vehicle belongs to you. You can choose to remain on the network and grow your fleet in Solthera’s network.
05
Fully traceable, fully supported
Dispatch, live tracking, GIT insurance, and maintenance are all handled by Solthera; so, you can focus on the road and optimal delivery conditions.
