Petah Tikvah, Israel., Dec. 03, 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 a globally renowned Italian luxury and sports car manufacturer.
The pilot project involves the installation of SaverOne’s distracted driving prevention system in an initial group of employee vehicles, potentially a first step in the installation of SaverOne’s systems across the manufacturer’s broader employee fleet of approximately 200 vehicles.
This new pilot marks a milestone for SaverOne, highlighting SaverOne’s further growing momentum in the Italian market. Following strong recent traction in the Italian market, it demonstrates a further successful step in SaverOne’s European expansion strategy and its commitment to enhancing road safety and driving adoption of its cutting-edge technology.
SaverOne’s growth into the Italian market is being led together with SaverOne’s Italian partner, Mr. Tal Yhie, and SaverOne’s regional distributor, GVZ Components.
Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented, “This new customer’s decision to launch a pilot of SaverOne’s safety system has immense potential. As a leading sports car manufacturer, their endorsement is a powerful validation of our technology and its ability to address a critical global challenge - distracted driving caused by cellphones. By adopting SaverOne’s technology, this customer is not only demonstrating its reputation for excellence and innovation but also its leadership in driver safety.”
Continued Mr. Gilboa, “This pilot is a testament to our expanding traction in Italy. We are confident this pilot will lead to new opportunities with other automotive manufacturers exploring state-of-the-art safety solutions.”
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.
