SaverOne
Launches New Pilot Project in Italy with Trans Italia
Trans
Italia is a Leading Logistics & Transportation Company Operating Over 300 Trucks
Petah Tikvah, Israel., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company that develops and sells advanced transportation safety solutions,
is pleased to announce the launch of a new pilot project with Trans Italia, a prominent Italian logistics and transportation company
well known for its eco-friendly, efficient, and intermodal transport solutions throughout Italy and beyond. This pilot marks a further
and significant step in SaverOne’s expansion into the Italian market and its broader European growth strategy.
The pilot project involves the installation of
SaverOne’s innovative driver safety system in an initial group of Trans Italia’s trucks. This initiative will demonstrate
the system’s ability to prevent distractions while driving and highlight its potential to enhance road safety. With a fleet of over
300 trucks, Trans Italia offers substantial growth potential for SaverOne and provides a strategic platform to showcase its technology
to the Italian logistics and eco-friendly transport sectors.
This collaboration was made possible through SaverOne’s
Italian partner, Mr. Tal Yhie, and its regional distributor, GVZ Components. The installations are being carried out in partnership with
TBS, SaverOne’s installation partner in the region, establishing a foundation for expanding installation capacity throughout Italy.
“This pilot project with Trans Italia demonstrates
our increase in traction within Italy,” said Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne. “We are thrilled to collaborate with a forward-thinking
company like Trans Italia to demonstrate the value of our technology in improving the safety of their fleet and reducing distracted driving
amongst their drivers. We believe this pilot will pave the way for increased adoption of our solutions within Italy and across Europe.”
Sergio Rotondo, Trans Italia’s Fleet
Manager added, “Safety is a core value for Trans Italia, and we are committed to adopting innovative technologies that help
us achieve that goal. SaverOne’s system aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance the safety of our drivers, our fleet, and the
communities we serve. We are excited to see the impact of this pilot project and look forward to a long-term and successful collaboration
with SaverOne.”
About the SaverOne System
SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to
solve the problem of driver distraction, as a result of drivers using distracting applications on their mobile phones while driving in
a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the leading causes of global
road accidents. 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.
It 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 interested in reducing potential damages and significant costs, vehicle manufacturers interested in integrating
safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with a focus on the
Israeli, European, and US markets and other markets worldwide. SaverOne believes that an increased focus on monitoring and prevention
of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, 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
to customers in the aftermarket and address OEM vehicle manufacturers to integrate the Company’s protection technologies during the vehicle
manufacturing process.
