SaverOne System to be Installed on 20 Garbage Trucks in Israel

PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in transportation safety solutions, is pleased to announce the installation of the SaverOne system, designed to prevent driver distraction from cellphones while driving, on the entire fleet of 20 garbage trucks operating throughout Israel managed by company Argaman Ichut Hasviva ("Argaman"), one of Israel's leaders in garbage collection and recycling.

Argaman, with its long-standing experience in carefully collecting garbage, serves several leading Israeli companies, as well as hospitals, industrial buildings and large commercial centers across the country. Argaman collects approximately 27,000 tons of waste annually in Israel, directing it to authorized transit stations for responsible sorting, recycling, and disposal.

Garbage truck accidents caused by driver distraction pose additional risks, including severe environmental contamination, which can negatively affect communities and their residents.

"Expanding our reach into a new vertical- the garbage collection sector- broadens the applicability of our technology and is a key part of our strategy at SaverOne," commented Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne. "We are proud to partner with Argaman, a company that shares our commitment to safety and responsibility. This partnership underlines the versatility and relevance of our technology across many different verticals, including essential public services like garbage collection."

With the installation of SaverOne's system across the Argaman's entire fleet, the technology will demonstrate its capabilities in improving road safety and reducing the chances of accidents,  fostering a safer and better work environment for Argaman's dedicated staff.

About the SaverOne System

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 the mobile phone while driving, in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. 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 (navigation as an example), without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.

SaverOne's primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets 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.
