Exro Technologies Inc. [CSE: XRO; OTCQB: EXROF] (the “Company” or “Exro”) is pleased to announce it has received its first production order for Motor Drivers from Potencia Industrial, S.A. DE C.V. (“Potencia”). This approximately US $500,000 purchase order is a result of successful testing that was achieved from the initial order announced on June 19, 2019 (News Release). The Motor Drivers are designed for independent integration as well as being one of five modular units that comprise the overall Intelligent Energy Management System (“IEMS”) that was announced on June 12, 2019 (News Release).
The Motor Driver connects the battery to the electric motor and enables the motor to run more efficiently with high reliability and safety features. Potencia is integrating the motor drivers into vehicles that have been identified for conversion of internal combustion engines to electric motors.
