AIkido Pharma Secures Interest in Electric Truck Maker, Tevva Motors Ltd
“From a commercial standpoint, delivery trucks are a $100 billion global market and demand for a cost effective, zero emission solution is growing by the day”
AIkido Pharma Inc. (Nasdaq: AIKI) (“AIkido” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company secured an equity interest in Tevva Motors Ltd, an electric truck producer with range extended vehicles on the road now.
Tevva Motors Ltd is a UK-based, leading developer of modular electrification systems for medium duty commercial vehicles. Using a system engineering approach, Tevva has developed world-class electric vehicle technology that adheres to the most rigorous of standards to ensure safety, reliability and durability. Tevva’s core proprietary technologies – comprising battery pack and management system, control system, software, and optional range extender – are applicable to almost any current 7.5t – 14t truck and is supplied as a package to OEMs for integration with their vehicles.
Anthony Hayes, CEO of AIkido, noted, “From a commercial standpoint, delivery trucks are a $100 billion global market and demand for a cost effective, zero emission solution is growing by the day. With strategic partners and early customers including, Ryder, Hitachi and UPS, and with Tevva vehicles already being used in their delivery services, Tevva is well positioned to take advantage of this rapidly growing sector.” Mr. Hayes went on to state, this unique and high growth opportunity represents an opportunity to partake in a rapidly expanding field, with the possibility of an exit in early 2022 as Tevva pursues a public listing. As we continue to focus on our core business, which is drug development. However, in our search for opportunities in our space, this unique growth opportunities with strong likelihood for monetization events, was presented to us. We are always looking to create shareholder value while limiting exposure in exciting and growing industries. We hope this short-term opportunity becomes an asset for our shareholders, like DatChat.”
