VivoPower International (Nasdaq: VVPR) announced that its subsidiary, Tembo e-LV, will receive 25 Tusker electric utility vehicles in Sydney, Australia by February 2025. The delivery includes next-generation models with enhanced features such as electronic park braking, uphill drive assistance, fixed speed cruise control, and a 12.3-inch center console screen.
The Tusker vehicles, which received full Australian Federal Government vehicle type approval (VTA) in November 2024, come with a 3-year OEM warranty and 8-year battery warranty from CATL. All 25 vehicles have been pre-allocated due to strong customer demand. Tembo is assisting fleet owners in securing NSW government fleet incentives of up to A$15,000 per vehicle.
The VTA approval is important for the Australasian pick-up truck market, estimated at US$10 billion, as it ensures compliance with safety, environmental, and anti-theft standards for public road use.

The funds will be invested at the Caret Digital subsidiary level, avoiding dilution for VivoPower shareholders.
