50 mn. Odyne Systems, LLC specializes in advanced work fleet electrification solutions, primarily through its patented plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) platform. This platform supports a diverse range of medium and heavy-duty vehicles, enabling hybrid drive systems while powering auxiliary equipment applications such as HVAC systems. The technology is designed for straightforward installation and configuration, allowing for adaptability without requiring modifications to the vehicle chassis.

Key end-use cases include enhancing the operational efficiency of public and private fleet operations, where the need for diesel generators is eliminated, thereby reducing operational noise, emissions, and cost. Odyne's clients encompass some of the largest fleet operators in the United States, and the company actively serves markets in North America, focusing on regions heavily engaged in construction, utility services, and public transportation. Odyne Systems generates revenue through direct sales of its electrification systems to fleet operators and manufacturers within the medium and heavy-duty vehicle segments. The business transactions typically involve custom pricing agreements based on the specific needs of the clients, along with potential government incentives for adopting clean technology solutions.

The flagship PHEV system facilitates significant cost savings for clients by reducing fuel expenses and maintenance costs associated with traditional diesel generators. Revenue may also be bolstered through partnerships and collaborations with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), enhancing the product offerings and reaching wider markets. Clients engage with Odyne based on project-based contracts that might include ongoing support and software updates, solidifying long-term relationships that ensure continued operational advantages for fleet operations. Odyne Systems plans to leverage its recent Venture Debt funding from March 2018 to further develop its electrification products and expand its market presence.

The company is focusing on enhancing its PHEV technology and exploring entry into new geographic regions in North America, particularly targeting markets involved in utility services and public transportation by 2023. This strategic approach aims to solidify Odyne's offerings and cater to a broader client base in the evolving clean technology landscape.
