PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a leading technology company specializing in transportation safety solutions, is delighted to announce the receipt of an additional order from Universal Trucks Israel, Ltd. (UTI), importer of Isuzu Trucks to Israel, for the installation of SaverOne’s In Cabin Driver Distraction Prevention Solution (DDPS) on a further 40 Isuzu vehicles. This new order comes on the heels of the successful implementation of the SaverOne system in approximately 100 Isuzu trucks last year and underscores UTI’s strong acceptance and satisfaction with the SaverOne system.
UTI is the official Israeli importer for Isuzu vehicles, with over 13,000 trucks and buses in the country. UTI leases over 1,700 Isuzu trucks and buses to its customers. The collaboration signed with UTI in 2022 aims to equip the SaverOne DDPS into its trucks that are leased to its customers.
Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented, “Embedding the SaverOne system in vehicles managed by dominant industry players in Israel like UTI is a core aspect of our strategic vision. This approach allows us to integrate our life-saving technology broadly, by targeting the fleets of leading vehicle importers, fleet managers, and lessors.”
Mr. Gilboa added, “We are delighted to witness the collaboration with UTI not only taking root, but also flourishing. This partnership’s expansion is a testament to our shared commitment to enhance road safety. We see significant untapped potential within our partnership with UTI as well as others, both in Israel and internationally. We are eager to continue to deepen our collaborations, bringing safer driving experiences to more road users.”
About the SaverOne System
SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to provide a solution to the problem of driver distraction, as a result of drivers using distracting applications on the mobile phone while driving, in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the main causes of road accidents in the world. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States, stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile phones while driving. SaverOne’s technology specifically recognizes the driver area in the vehicle and prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging, while allowing others (navigation as an example), without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne’s primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets that are interested in reducing potential damages and significant cost, vehicle manufacturers that are interested in integrating safety solutions to their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with focus on the Israeli, European and US markets, as well as other markets around the world. SaverOne believes that ultimately increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, in particular driven by upcoming expected EU regulation, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future.
The Company’s strategy is to provide its technology for installation to customers in the aftermarket as well as address OEM vehicle manufacturers, to install the Company’s protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.
