(Alliance News) - Quartix Technologies PLC on Friday said it has completed the acquisition of Konetik Deutschland GmbH.

Quartix explained that Konetik is the owner and developer of the software utilised in its EVolve electric vehicle product

The Newton, Wales-based vehicle tracking system provider said the total payment will be EUR3.9 million. This comprises an initial payment of EUR2.5 million, payable immediately on completion, and deferred consideration of up to EUR1.4 million.

The total amount of deferred consideration payable will be based on the number of EVolve subscriptions over the next 24 months with payments being made every six months, Quartix noted.

"The acquisition will allow us to bring our excellent relationship with Konetik in house, enabling increased efficiencies in developing the product going forward as more operators address the challenges and opportunities of electrifying their fleets."
