Teva, a global pharmaceutical leader, to install the SaverOne System across its entire fleet of 50 delivery trucks in Israel
Petah Tikvah, Israel, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a leading innovator in transportation safety technology, today announced the award of a new contract with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva), to install the SaverOne System across its entire fleet of 50 pharmaceutical delivery trucks. This follows the successful initial deployment in 14 trucks.
Headquartered in Israel, Teva is a multinational pharmaceutical company and one of the world’s largest generic drug manufacturers. Teva operates a global fleet supporting its supply chain across more than 60 countries.
Mr. Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne commented, “We are proud of this new collabortion with Teva, a global pharmaceutical leader, in supporting the safety of their drivers and deliveries. While we look forward to successfully completing the installation in Israel across all 50 of their trucks, we believe there is strong future potential for further deployments in other countries within Teva’s global fleets and operations. This win underscores continued growing demand for our technology and highlights our ability to deliver effective solutions that help prevent driver distractions in commercial fleets.”
Mr. Ronen Talmor, Traffic Safety Officer at Teva, commented, “As a company that places safety as a top priority, whether workplace safety or road safety, we invest significant time and money in technological solutions and training to prevent accidents. When we discovered SaverOne’s system, which essentially complements our efforts as a company to prevent road accidents and eliminate the number one cause of such accidents - driver distraction, we immediately recognized its value. I believe that any company that, like us, prioritizes safety will not overlook this highly significant system.”
About the SaverOne System
SaverOne's system is installed in vehicles to solve the problem of driver distraction, as a result of drivers using distracting applications on their mobile phones while driving in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the leading causes of global road accidents. 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. It prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging while allowing others (navigation as an example) without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne's primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets interested in reducing potential damages and significant costs, vehicle manufacturers interested in integrating safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with a focus on the Israeli, European, and US markets and other markets worldwide. SaverOne believes that an increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, 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 to customers in the aftermarket and address OEM vehicle manufacturers to integrate the Company's protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.
