GAUSSIN has been selected to participate in The Made in France Great Exhibition at the Elysée Palace (Paris) on July 1st and July 2nd, 2023

The Group was selected from over 2,400 applicants from all over France to

display its ATM®-H2 hydrogen logistics tractor

GAUSSIN (ALGAU - FR0013495298), a pioneer of clean and smart freight transport, announces that it has successfully applied to take part in the 3rd edition of "La Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France" (The Made in France Great Exhibition), to be held at the Elysée Palace in Paris on July 1st and 2nd. During this event, sponsored by French President Emmanuel Macron, one hundred companies from all over France will present their Made in France products to the general public and the press.

An exceptional showcase for GAUSSIN technology

The "Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France" is the annual showcase for economic players fully committed to French manufacturing. A selection committee convened by ministers Bruno Le Maire, Olivia Grégoire and Roland Lescure was tasked with drawing up the list of products to be presented to the thousands of French people expected to attend.

The event is part of the government's broader policy to promote competitive, low-carbon production in France, marked in particular by the France Relance and France 2030 investment plans.

The Elysée Palace will host the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France

After several selection phases at local and national level, the government has chosen GAUSSIN from over 2,400 applicants. In all, 100 companies will represent each département. GAUSSIN will be defending the colors of Haute-Saône (70). For two days, the ATM®-H2 will be on public display in the gardens of the Elysée Palace.

In its application, GAUSSIN highlighted in particular :

1. its commitment to local industrial employment o its environmental and social approach
   o its relocation efforts
   o its investments in decarbonization and innovation

Recognition of GAUSSIN's strategic choice for Made in France

Designed entirely in France, the ATM®-H2 is developed in Haute-Saône and assembled at the Saint-Vallier site in Saône-et-Loire.

The proportion of the vehicle's added value generated in France is 52%, a rate that GAUSSIN, proud of its French industrial base, aims to reinforce by sourcing in France whenever it is possible. A relocation initiative has already led to the production in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté of chassis previously produced in Eastern Europe.

ATM®-H2, a pioneer in hydrogen mobility

Based on the skateboard of the electric ATM®, the hydrogen version of the vehicle is the result of GAUSSIN's R&D efforts. Its development was made possible by a grant from ADEME as part of the "i-Nov 2020" innovation competition.

Entirely powered by hydrogen, the ATM®-H2 enables zero-emission operations and offers improved, quieter working conditions. Thanks to the H2 PowerPack recharging system using the latest fuel cell and tank systems, recharging time amounts to 30 minutes for 13 hours of use. The vehicle is currently being deployed on the North American market, with an order for 20 units from Plug Power (see PR of August 16, 2021).

With a capacity of 38 tons, the ATM® is used to move trailers and semi-trailers in logistics, e-commerce and retail centers. Its availability rate is over 99%. Since its first delivery in 2017, it has already covered more than 1.5 million km, with an operational fleet of 110 units to date. Marketed in over 40 countries, it is the only tractor on the market to combine environmental, economic and industrial performance.

GAUSSIN's ATM®-H2

"It's a great source of pride, but also a great responsibility, to be one of the representatives of French know-how for a weekend. It's a fitting reward for all the teams who worked on the development of this vehicle. It is further proof of the quality of the Group's technology, and of its determination to reinforce its Made in France positioning. This event at the Elysée Palace is a prestigious showcase for a French company committed to the ecological transition," said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of GAUSSIN.

The Elysée Palace will open a ticket office for free access to the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France around mid-June.
