| Phoenix Medium Duty Vehicles: Gen 4<br>1. Asset Light Business Model: The “asset light” business model extends both upstream to suppliers and downstream to manufacturing partners:<br> • Upstream – we leverage our strategic partnerships with R&D partners and engineering service suppliers.<br> • Downstream – we partner with customers and third parties to establish manufacturing and assembly facilities located in key strategic<br>locations across the U.S.<br>2. Scale: Efficient scaling of production:<br> • Anaheim production facility reconfigured not only to increase production, but also to serve as a training and showcase facility to ensure<br>procedures are standardized across all of our manufacturing and assembly locations.<br> • Utilize customer and third-party assembly facilities to increase production with low capital requirements.<br>3. Battery Supply: Secured dependable supply source:<br> • Benefit from partnership with CATL for long-term strategic supply of K-Packs and related products.<br> • Solved the first major impediment to long-term growth…secure and reliable battery supply.<br>4. Reduced Costs: Gen 4 is expected to achieve lower production and materials costs compared to Gen 3 vehicles, benefiting from:<br> • Standardization of processes and procedures<br> • Use of standardized components and sub-assemblies<br> • Reduction in numbers of parts and components from over 450 in Gen 3 to fewer than 80 in Gen 4<br>5. Retrofit Solution: Gen 4 has allowed for the development of our proprietary retrofit solution:<br> • Enables fleet customers to meet government-mandated zero emissions targets in a quick and cost-effective manner<br> • Provides much lower Total Cost of Ownership for fleet operators versus virtually any other option<br> • Provides the double environmental benefit of both adding a zero-emission vehicle while also removing a gasoline-powered vehicle<br> • Modular nature of our proprietary retrofit solution allows for easy siting in virtually any location around the globe<br>In 2023, we will introduce our 4th Generation drivetrain (Gen 4) vehicles,<br>providing a bridge to the Gen 5 “Ground Up Chassis” design<br>Phoenix Motor Inc. | Page 21 |
