Exro has validated integration of its 100 Volt Coil Driver with a Heinzmann PMS motor to drive expanded speeds, increased torque, and switches under load
Exro to commercialize motor and inverter system solutions alongside Heinzmann machines for light mobility applications
Commercialization of standard solution to start in fourth quarter 2021 with first revenues expected in the first quarter of 2022
CALGARY, AB , March 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Exro Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EXRO) (OTCQB: EXROF) (the "Company" or "Exro"), a leading clean technology company which has developed a new class of power electronics for electric motors and batteries, is pleased to announce validation of the motor and inverter system solution for light mobility with global electric drives manufacturer Heinzmann GmbH & Co. KG ("Heinzmann").

Exro validated integration of its 100 Volt Coil Driver for light electric vehicles alongside Heinzmann's PMS 120 motors (the "machine" or "machines"), and testing has proven that dynamic coil switching under load is successful and operating as expected at peak currents. The test results showed significant improvement to the speed range of the machine while delivering an expanded torque map and maintaining high efficiency operation. By introducing multiple dynamic coil configurations, the Coil Driver was able to optimize motor torque and speed capabilities and effectively function at the mechanical limitations of the machine.
"We are thrilled to see the successful integration of our motors with the Coil Driver technology," said Peter Mrimche, Managing Director for Heinzmann. "This will deliver a unique system solution for light mobility applications and we are looking forward to bringing this to market alongside Exro."
Established in Germany in 1897, Heinzmann is a proven innovator of complete electric drive solutions with a wide range of applications around the world. Today, customers trust Heinzmann for the quality and expertise behind their sophisticated powertrain equipment.
"This validation is a major milestone toward commercialization of our Coil Driver technology across all segments," said Josh Sobil , Chief Commercial Officer of Exro. "The combined system solution not only demonstrates how our technology enables greater control of an electric motor, but also breaks significant barriers for us to generate revenue from delivering our Coil Driver to all mobility segments."
The Company is now moving forward to refinement of a standard solution to start commercializing alongside Heinzmann by fourth quarter 2021. The optimized motor and Coil Driver integration will bring a new solution with enhanced performance to light electric vehicles including electric scooters, electric motorbikes, municipal vehicles, and more.
