EAST WINDSOR, N.J., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC) ("Greenland" or the "Company"), a technology developer and manufacturer of electric industrial vehicles and drivetrain systems for material handling machineries and vehicles, today announced it entered into an exciting new strategic partnership agreement with Princeton NuEnergy Inc. ("PNE"), a technology developer focused on developing innovative and sustainable second-life battery solutions and closed-loop lithium-ion battery recycling.

Under the strategic partnership, the two companies will collaborate to create a safe and sustainable recycling solution for end-of-life lithium-ion batteries used in Greenland's electric industrial vehicles including electric forklifts, electric loaders and electric excavators to further minimize their environmental footprint. Greenland and PNE will co-market and cross-promote to drive brand awareness, give each organization access to a larger audience, and demonstrate technology leadership for both Greenland and PNE. Greenland and PNE will collaborate in identifying, negotiating, and supporting battery manufacturers by providing battery-grade recycled material with the aim of developing a revenue stream for PNE, while reducing the cost of battery procurement for Greenland.

Raymond Wang, CEO of Greenland, commented, "Incorporating environmentally friendly manufacturing processes makes sound business sense as we work to develop a sustainable, circular supply chain. Battery supply and materials availability is an increasing concern as the proliferation of electric vehicles continues to accelerate, with the risk of becoming a gating factor in the manufacturing process a few years down the road. We have done extensive due diligence on options that could help us mitigate that potential supply chain bottleneck given our forecasts for accelerating growth and product line expansion. We think Princeton NuEnergy's innovative, proprietary process can be a real game changer for us and we are excited to be partnering together at this important juncture."

Dr. Yan, CEO of Princeton NuEnergy, added, "We know the Greenland team well and have been impressed with their strategy and execution. Our partnership gives us an invaluable opportunity to commercialize the advanced technologies and recycling processes we have been developing over the past few years, as we seek to help the electric vehicle industry meet its ambitious growth targets."
