Members of the National Biodiesel Board now have access to big savings on the purchase or lease of new vehicles from all of the U.S. Big Three automakers: Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors. NBB members have enjoyed the benefit of substantial discounts available through the Chrysler Affiliate Rewards Program and Ford X-Plan Partner Recognition Program for a few years. And now, NBB’s OEM Outreach team has negotiated a similarly lucrative plan for NBB members through General Motors’ Supplier Discount Program. This “trifecta” of NBB membership benefits has already helped hundreds of NBB members save thousands of dollars off the manufacturers’ suggested retail price on a new vehicle purchase.
Ed Erickson Jr., of North Dakota, national director of the American Soybean Association and an NBB member, said, “Sometimes it’s hard to convince a person to buy a membership in their growers association or the NBB when they’re already paying checkoff dues, etc. But I can attest that the value our members receive from these vehicle discount programs, along with access to so many other great educational resources, make it all worth it. Value and information—that’s what it’s about—and this is a great deal!”
Could this be the year you save big on a new set of wheels as well? Perhaps a Ford Super Duty bearing the powerful B20 emblem, or the rugged Ram pickup featured in Chrysler’s memorable “Farmer” Super Bowl commercial, or even the new Chevy Cruze diesel passenger car approved for use with B20 biodiesel blends? These and many more great vehicles from the Big Three can be yours at a deep discount.
