Exro Technologies Inc. announced a significant milestone in its first in-field pilot location for its Cell Driver?? Energy Storage System in partnership with post-secondary institution Red Deer Polytechnic, in Central Alberta. This milestone is marked by purchase order commitments for Exro's 800 Volt Coil Driver?

System to be integrated into Giaffone electric commercial vehicles with initial deliveries beginning in Fourth Quarter 2023. Red Deer Polytechnic has agreed to purchase Exro's Cell Driver? Battery Energy Storage System with plans to integrate It into its on-campus Energy Innovation Centre in early First Quarter 2024, following UL certification for the technology which remains on track for late Fourth Quarter 2023.

The energy storage system will be coupled with a rooftop solar system in collaboration with channel partner, Inferno Solar. Exro's Cell Driver? is the latest technology addition to the Energy Innovation Centre's Alternative Energy Lab which opened in February 2019 to serve as a research, teaching, and data hub to remove barriers to adopting green technology opportunities in Alberta.

The pilot with Red Deer Polytechnic is the first of several initial pilots Exro has planned in the months ahead. The company is working on additional initial pilots in a variety of sectors (restaurants, vertical gardening, and warehouses) to demonstrate real-world data that supports the Cell Driver's? ability to reduce annual electricity bills and generate payback of less than four years.
