SaverOne Signs First MOU with Leading Global Vehicle Manufacturer Iveco
SaverOne solution to become available to Iveco’s customers: represents significant potential for long-term growth
Petah Tikvah, Israel, October 19, 2022 – SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company engaged in transportation safety solutions, today announced that in line with its long-term growth strategy, it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with leading truck manufacturer, Iveco, for integrating its solution within Iveco’s trucks, to prevent driver distraction from cellphone use. The parties aim to sign a formal agreement before year-end.
Iveco is a global vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Italy, which is focused on light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles. It sells approximately 150,000 vehicles globally on an annual basis, via its five thousand sales and service outlets across over 160 countries.
During 2023, under the MOU, Iveco and SaverOne will cooperate to integrate SaverOne’s protection solution into Iveco trucks during the manufacturing process. Starting in 2024, Iveco is expected to offer its new trucks, equipped with SaverOne’s driver distraction protection technology, to its global customer base.
Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented, “Our solution will create a safer driving experience for Iveco’s customers by preventing driver distraction from cellphone use. This is an important milestone for SaverOne, marking our first international co-operation with a leading global OEM whose large customer base represents a key market and very significant growth potential for our technology.”
Continued Mr. Gilboa, “We believe this proves our value and the attractiveness of our offering to vehicle manufacturers. It puts our strategy on strong footing, and we look forward to expanding our footprint and cooperation with additional vehicle manufacturers.”

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.
