PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in transportation safety solutions, today announced the win of six new customers, advancing SaverOne's footprint in the private bus fleet industry. The private bus fleet vertical, especially buses carrying school children, is key for SaverOne, representing significant growth potential internationally and has become an area of strategic focus for the Company.

SaverOne reported initial orders of 90 new installations of its in-cabin Driver Distraction Prevention Solution (DDPS), primarily on school buses. This represents only a portion of the full bus fleets of these customers and there remains strong potential for further orders in the coming weeks.

Ensuring passenger safety in both public and especially private and school bus transportation is of paramount importance. SaverOne's DDPS removes a significant risk factor and a primary cause of road accidents by selectively disabling the driver's mobile distractions. This safeguards passengers and other road users while preserving essential, non-distracting uses in compliance with each bus company's strict safety guidelines.

Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented, "After securing our major deal earlier this year for over 1,200 vehicles with leading Israeli public bus company Elektra Afikim, we are continuing to grow and add new customers to our roster in this important vertical. We recently identified the private and school bus transportation verticals as a key strategic focus for SaverOne. We are now seeing solid and increasing traction among bus companies, especially those transporting and responsible for the safety of school children. As these new and growing orders demonstrate, customers and potential customers are increasingly recognizing the value of our solutions, both in Israel and internationally. Preventable accidents continue to claim lives and cause injuries. Our DDPS ensures that drivers remain focused on driving safely and undistracted, mitigating a significant risk."

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.
