SuperTruck 3 Further Validates Principal Solar’s Heavy Vehicle Electrification Subsidiary Partnership with eTruck Transportation

By: OTC

 

$162 Million Department of Energy Program to Fund Projects to Electrify Medium- and Heavy-Duty Freight Trucks, Fund Heavy Electric Vehicle Charging Technologies and Infrastructure

 

DALLAS, TEXAS, May 13, 2021 – OTC PR WIRE — Principal Solar, Inc. (OTC Pink: PSWW) (“Principal” or “the Company”), a strategic investor in and acquirer of technologies that support next-generation opportunities in traditional, renewable, and clean energy sectors as well as an investor in an acquirer and operator of undervalued petroleum-producing properties, today stated its intention to participate in the Department of Energy’s SuperTruck 3 program by application,  via its subsidiary partnership with vehicle conversion company eTruck Transportation (“eTruck”). The program, announced on April 15, 2021, provides $162 million in opportunities aimed at electrifying freight trucking, along with efforts to expand infrastructure and lower emissions.

“We see this as further validation of our decisions to create NexTeal, Principal’s EV-focused operating company, and to form our heavy vehicle electrification subsidiary partnership with eTruck Transportation,” said K. Bryce “Rick” Toussaint, CPA, MBA, Chairman and CEO of PSWW. “SuperTruck 3 is a funding opportunity that feels tailor-made for NexTeal and our new subsidiary partnership. We plan to apply to participate in the program.”

According to the Department of Energy’s announcement, the program seeks to fund solutions that will mitigate the largest contributors to transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, of which medium- and heavy-duty trucks are responsible for nearly a quarter.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) launched the original SuperTruck initiatives in 2009 with the goal of improving heavy freight truck efficiency by 50%. SuperTruck 2, launched in 2016, sought to double the efficiency of 18-wheeler (class 8) trucks. SuperTruck 3’s funding is focused on even higher efficiency via a range of approaches to electrification.

As noted in previous Company announcements, the eTruck partnership is an example of Principal Solar’s new multi-faceted go-forward strategy of building accretive growth by investing in and/or acquiring innovative, next-generation technologies within the renewable energy, electric vehicle, and “green” hydrocarbon capture spaces. Principal’s approach then supports its technology developers and new business management teams with growth capital raised specifically for the subsidiary via public markets. Principal also provides the hands-on expertise, manpower, strategies, and sales and marketing resources necessary to equip these businesses and technologies with the maximum potential to thrive – and the maximum potential to deliver returns for all stakeholders.
