SaverOne Expands European Reach in Spain and Portugal

through a New Distribution Agreement with Sistemas ADAS

 

SaverOne accelerates its European expansion as part of its global growth strategy

 

Petah Tikvah, Israel, Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company that develops and sells advanced transportation safety solutions, announced today the signing of a new distribution agreement in Spain and Portugal with Sistemas ADAS, a leading distributor in transportation safety solutions, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and telematics. This new distribution agreement marks a further step in SaverOne’s global expansion strategy, following its recent market entry into Italy and Mexico, and distribution agreement covering several US states.

 

Spain and Portugal represent substantial growth opportunities for SaverOne. Sistemas ADAS has a strong market presence, particularly in the bus and truck sectors, having deployed various systems in thousands of vehicles across Spain and Portugal. The agreement aims to leverage Sistemas ADAS’ extensive network to introduce SaverOne’s solutions to fleets across Spain and Portugal.

 

“We are pleased to have closed this key distribution agreement with Sistemas ADAS, a leading regional player, marking another step forward in our ongoing international expansion strategy,” said Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne. “Spain and Portugal represent significant markets for SaverOne, with a robust public transportation sector in need of cutting-edge safety solutions. Sistemas ADAS has proven its capability and reliability in deploying advanced safety systems, and we look forward to working with them to accelerate our growth in these key markets.”

 

Elías Izquierdo, CEO of Sistemas ADAS, added: “We are proud to partner with SaverOne and bring their innovative driver safety solutions to our clients in Spain and Portugal. The potential to improve road safety across fleets, bus operators and OEMs in these regions is immense, and we are excited to play a role in this important mission.”

 

About SaverOne’s Systems

 

SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to provide a solution to the problem of driver distraction, as a result of drivers using distracting applications on mobile phones while driving, in a way that endangers their safety, the safety of their passengers and others on the road. This phenomenon is considered one of the main causes of road accidents in the world. 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 and prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging, while allowing others (e.g. navigation, calls), without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.

 

 

 

SaverOne’s primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets, including public transportation and buses, that are interested in reducing potential damages and significant cost, vehicle manufacturers that are interested in integrating safety solutions to their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with focus on the Israeli, European and US markets, as well as other markets around the world. SaverOne believes that ultimately increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, in particular 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 for installation to customers in the aftermarket as well as address OEM vehicle manufacturers, to install the Company’s protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.

 

SaverOne has developed a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) solution with the potential to significantly enhance the performance of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) sensors through a superior ability to deal with NLoS (non-line of sight) situations as well as adverse weather conditions and low-visibility. SaverOne’s technology identifies the exact location and direction of movement of the VRU via their RF footprint from their cellphone signal. This safety solution supports the avoidance of a collision by early detection VRUs such as pedestrians or cyclists in the vicinity of the vehicle.
