The interesting angle

Founded 2017 (originally as Azevtec); electric-first platform strategy from day one; $62M Series D in Oct 2024 led by Koch Disruptive Technologies and NEA with NVIDIA, ARK Invest, and Prologis also investing; 200,000 sq ft Advanced Testing Facility in Brighton; customers represent 20%+ of all yard trucks in North America; the diesel-to-electric transition in logistics yards is a largely invisible but significant emissions opportunity
