designed for opportunity charging at e.g. end of bus line, extending the range of an (H)EV. A minimal onboard energy
storage, enough to reach the next charging station, becomes practically sufficient to optimally operate a vehicle with low

The Company has already piloted its Product Generation 1 in a real environment and has established strong relationships
with several Northern European city bus services and continues to initiate relationships with potential customers public
transport operators and European bus manufacturers.
Product readiness: The Product Generation 1 is between TRL 7 and TRL 8 with 8 units sold and 15 more in the pipeline to
be sold for piloting purposes. Generation 2 is at TRL 6 and moving towards TRL 7. The Company is currently improving the
product’s value and profit propositions based on its end-customers feedback (urban transport authorities and municipalities)
and immediate customers such as bus manufacturers and energy providers.
