Screening effects in nanoscale junctions with strong electron-phonon coupling open new physical scenarios. We propose an accurate many-body approach to deal with the simultaneous occurrence of the Franck-Condon blockade and the screening-induced enhancement of the polaron mobility. We derive a transparent analytic expression for the electrical current: transient and steady-state features are directly interpreted and explained. Moreover, the interplay between phononic and electronic excitations gives rise to a novel mechanism of negative differential conductance. Experimental setup to observe this phenomenon are discussed.
