Zonar Ignition ™ Fleet Operations Platform Launches Integration-Ready Platform with Real-Time Analytics

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zonar, a leader in commercial vehicle fleet health and safety, today announced the launch of Zonar Ignition ™, a next-generation cloud-based fleet management platform designed to replace the industry's fragmented legacy systems with unified, real-time insights. Coming nine months after Zonar's merger with GPS Trackit, Ignition reflects the company's accelerated pace of innovation and focus on delivering joint value to customers. "With Ignition, we've brought together the best of Zonar and GPS Trackit to give fleets a single window into unified workflows and manage all aspects of vehicles, drivers and assets," said Charles Kriete, CEO, Zonar. Share Zonar Ignition helps fleets maximize uptime, reduce costs and respond to challenges faster through three core features that define a modern fleet management platform: Integration-Ready: Built on a flexible framework, the cloud-based Ignition platform seamlessly integrates Zonar data with third-party data sources. An open API combined with the ability to build sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) modules, Zonar provides its customers with a more customizable and efficient experience. One Screen, Total Control: Ignition consolidates and displays all crucial fleet and third-party data on one screen. A single-pane-of-glass view allows operators to assess the status of vehicles, drivers, and assets in real time on a single high-resolution map, rather than navigating through tabs to collect insights to make data-driven decisions. Actionable Insights, Real-Time Results: Through Zonar's market-leading hardware, Ignition aggregates data from its TCU hardware, compliance solutions, driver behavior monitoring systems and third-party systems into personalized reports. Interactive dashboards surface key performance indicators, including fuel usage, route efficiency and safety events, and enable drill-downs that drive continuous operational improvements. More than 30 detailed reports and personalized dashboards are available. From real-time KPIs and granular driver and vehicle data, to live alerts on speeding, idling, or off-route activity, Ignition diagnostics help improve safety and efficiency while increasing uptime with scheduled maintenance and preemptive alerts. "Whether it's a school bus, sanitation truck or specialized utility vehicle, for too long fleet managers have had to choose between clunky workflows or unreliable data when managing drivers, vehicles and other critical business assets," said Charles Kriete, CEO, Zonar. "We saw a clear need for something faster, smarter and more efficient. With Ignition, we've brought together the best of Zonar and GPS Trackit to give fleets a single window into unified workflows and manage all aspects of vehicles, drivers and assets. This approach helps derisk operations and delivers actionable analytics through actionable intelligence. This platform is not just for our current customers, but for any fleet looking for a better, more connected way to run their operations.' The launch of Zonar Ignition underscores the company's role as both a trusted partner and an innovator in fleet technology. A pivotal step in Zonar's ongoing mission to help fleets operate at their highest potential, Ignition's platform is designed to meet today's operational demands and evolve with future transportation challenges. The first major milestone since Zonar's merger with GPS Trackit on December 3, 2024, Zonar Ignition signals the combined company's ability to innovate quickly and deliver value at scale. By uniting Zonar's telematics expertise with GPS Trackit's scalable platform, the company is accelerating cloud-based fleet visibility, analytics, and AI-driven insights. Ignition also integrates with Zonar's proprietary technologies, including EVIR® for electronic inspections, CARB tools for emissions compliance, Z Pass™ for student rider visibility, and Zonar Coach™ for driver safety coaching, giving fleets a single platform to optimize operations, improve safety, and reduce costs.

Energy Vault Enters into Exclusive Agreement for $300 million Preferred Equity Investment to launch 'Asset Vault', Accelerating the execution of 1.5GW of Global Energy Storage Projects under the Company's IPP Build, Own and Operate Strategy

LUGANO, Switzerland & WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NRGV) ('Energy Vault' or the 'Company'), a global leader in grid-scale energy storage solutions, today announced it has entered into an exclusivity agreement for a $300 million preferred equity investment to fund the launch of Asset Vault, a fully consolidated subsidiary of Energy Vault dedicated to develop, build, own and operate energy storage assets, stand-alone or paired with generation facilities, in the most attractive energy markets globally. The investment will support Energy Vault's IPP strategy to build, own and operate energy storage assets, accelerating the deployment of 1.5GW in attractive priority markets. Leveraging its significant operational expertise in efficiently designing, building and operating energy storage assets, Energy Vault can achieve lower $/kWh CapEx as well as lower asset OpEx through its leading Energy Management System software platform for efficient system operation, safety, reliability and economic dispatching to enhance project IRR's. Upon final closing—subject to customary regulatory and closing conditions anticipated in the next 30-60 days -- 'Asset Vault' will be formed as a fully consolidated subsidiary for Energy Vault's owned energy storage assets supported by long-term offtake agreements that ensure project monetization. The $300 million investment will be utilized for project development expenses, project acquisition, and both majority and minority equity investments to support attractive project financing to deliver the asset construction, commissioning and operation. The preferred equity is non-dilutive to common shareholders and includes milestones for equity participation in the listed company for strong shareholder alignment. 'The $300 million investment and the creation of Asset Vault unlock the full potential of our 'Own and Operate' storage IPP strategy with immediate investment flexibility,' said Robert Piconi, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Energy Vault. 'By combining long-term contracted revenues with strategic capital and integrated, self-performed project execution, we are well positioned to scale resilient, mission-critical energy infrastructure to meet the current needs driven by the penetration of renewable energy and the massive increases in energy demand driven by data center AI infrastructure.' Asset Vault will consolidate Energy Vault's growing portfolio of contracted and operational storage projects, with 3GW and 12+ GWH of top tier projects identified, acquired and/or in operation, including: Operational projects: Cross Trails BESS (57MW/114MWh) and Calistoga Resiliency Center (8.5MW/293MWh): $100m deployed across the first two projects, offset by project financing and monetization of investment tax credits Both Projects are supported by long-term offtake agreements and project-level debt financing, creating high-visibility, profitable and recurring cash flows. Contracted Project: Stoney Creek BESS, the recently acquired 125 MW / 1.0 GWh in New South Wales, Australia, backed by up to a 14-year Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) with AEMO Services as the Consumer Trustee under the New South Wales Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, ensuring stable capacity revenues. Robust pipeline of ~ 3 gigawatts (GW) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across the U.S., Europe and Australia. These projects are underpinned by long-term revenue contracts, with the US projects benefiting from Investment Tax Credit (ITC) incentives, positioning the platform for 15% + targeted levered IRRs over a 20-year asset life. Critically, Energy Vault will retain voting and operational control of Asset Vault, leveraging its fully integrated development, EPC, and asset management capabilities. By self-performing engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for projects within the Asset Vault platform, Energy Vault expects to generate incremental consolidated revenue and high gross margins while unlocking strategic operating leverage across its value chain. Within the initial investment of $300 million, Asset Vault is expected to generate $100 million+ in recurring annual EBITDA in the coming 3-4 years as a consolidated subsidiary, which is additive to Energy Vault's existing Energy Storage Solutions business that makes up the majority of the company's revenue today. In addition, as was the case with the first two energy assets already in service in the US in Texas and California, Energy Vault will self-perform the project design, construction, commissioning and execution of long-term service agreements (LTSA) under contracts from Asset Vault, thereby providing additional cash flow streams and liquidity to the parent company (Energy Vault Holdings). Energy Vault's technology agnostic approach and flexible business model spans energy-as-a-service, project development and sale, and long-term asset ownership, enabling value capture across the energy storage lifecycle. Virtual Investor Day In conjunction with the close of the transaction, Energy Vault intends to host a Virtual Investor Day to provide a comprehensive overview of the Asset Vault platform, its project pipeline, financial projections, and long-term strategic vision. Additional details will be shared upon closing.
