01 Mar 2023 16:30 CET

(Oslo, Norway, 1 March 2023) Hexagon Purus ("the Company"), a world leading
manufacturer of zero emission mobility and infrastructure solutions, is in
advanced discussions with Hino Trucks for a long-term distribution agreement
under which Hexagon Purus expects to produce complete battery electric heavy-
duty trucks for the U.S. market, distributed exclusively through select
qualifying dealers in Hino's network. The vehicles are expected to be based on
Hino's XL 4x2 tractor chassis and upfitted with Hexagon Purus' proprietary zero-
emission technology, including battery systems, auxiliary modules, power modules
and vehicle-level software. The potential agreement foresees the delivery of up
to 10,000 trucks by 2030, and the total potential value over the course of the
agreement could reach approximately USD 2.0 billion (approximately NOK 20
billion).

Serial production of the electric heavy-duty trucks would be expected to
commence during the last part of 2024, and this expanded agreement would replace
the already announced (on 11 February 2022) cooperation between Hexagon Purus
and Hino to supply battery packs for multiple Hino truck platforms planned for
serial production from 2024.
