Exro Technologies signs multiyear agreement with SEA Electric

CALGARY — Exro Technologies Inc. has developed a new class of power control electronics for electric motors and batteries and has signed an initial purchase order and multiyear master sales and service agreement to supply 1,500 Coil Drive System units to  SEA Electric.

SEA Electric deploys its products in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia and South Africa with collectively more than one million miles of OEM-tested and in-service international operation.

Under the agreement, SEA Electric will purchase high-voltage Coil Drive System units from Exro, along with a production slot, system pricing and commissioning services.

Pilot vehicle integration will begin as early as November of this year, followed by track and on-road testing in 2023. These testing phases will culminate with series production Exro 400V Coil Drive System units.

The agreement commences with delivery of up to 25 Coil Drive System sample units comprised of a high-voltage Coil Driver™ and an electric motor. These sample units will be used as a part of a joint nine-to-twelve-month pilot program as part of SEA Electric’s  on-road testing phase in the company’s next-generation F-59 Class 5/6 delivery vehicles.

Following the development efforts between the companies, this agreement moves the partnership into a new commercial phase for SEA Electric’s next generation F59. Exro and SEA Electric continue to collaborate and move forward with additional development projects, including an SiC 800V application for a next generation Mack LR heavy duty truck.

“Our goal over the next five years is to eliminate 2.5 billion pounds of CO2 emissions through the deployment of our electric delivery and garbage trucks, shuttle buses, cargo vans, and more,” said Tony Fairweather, chief executive officer of SEA Electric in a statement.
