SaverOne System Installed on the Large Food Delivery Trucks of Shufersal - Israel's Leading Supermarket

The new vertical of delivery truck represents significant growth potential for SaverOne.

PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a technology company engaged in transportation safety solutions, today announced that Shufersal, Israel's leading retail food chain, has installed the SaverOne system on part of its fleet of large food delivery trucks, which handle food delivery between its logistic centers.

In the first phase which is a trial phase, the installation of the SaverOne System was completed on a group of 19 large delivery trucks out of the Shufersal truck fleet of 150. Furthermore, there is significant potential for further installations beyond this fleet, as Shufersal operates a further fleet of a few hundred smaller trucks for the delivery of food to the home.

 Mr. Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne commented, "Shufersal is a new and important flagship customer for us in Israel, and following the trial we see potential to significantly expand installations into the rest of its fleet, representing hundreds of vehicles.  Delivery trucks have the possibility to be more prone to accidents than average if delivery drivers use their phones to organize their work and to navigate to their delivery destination while driving. Given the significant time that these drivers spend on the road and their reliance on their phones for their work, their phones also have the potential to cause a distraction from non-essential apps while driving. Our SaverOne system can help to prevent distracting activities that can cause accidents such as messaging, while allowing non-distracting activities such as navigation and upcoming deliveries. We believe that our SaverOne system will help Shufersal ultimately lower the accident rates of its delivery trucks. This vertical of delivery trucks is a key growth area, as our system not only has the ability to ultimately help to save lives, but will also lower the risk of significant costs, inventory losses and disruption to companies that are reliant on delivery services."

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 (e.g. navigation), 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.
