Previous wording

We are in the process of commercializing our B-TRAN® technology and have launched our first two commercial products, the SymCool® Power Module and SymCool® IQ Intelligent Power Module. We generated $12,003 and $78,739 in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We are in the process of commercializing our B-TRAN® technology and have launched our first two commercial products, the SymCool® Power Module and SymCool® IQ Intelligent Power Module. We generated $13,278 in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

In 2022, we announced, and began the first phase of, a product development agreement with Stellantis, a top 10 global automaker, for a custom B-TRAN® power module for use in the automaker’s EV drivetrain inverters in its next generation EV platform. In the first phase of the program, we provided packaged B-TRAN® devices, test kits and technical data to Stellantis for their evaluation. In 2023, we secured, and began the second phase of, this program. In the second phase of the program, we collaborated with Stellantis and the program partners, including both the program’s packaging company and the organization building the initial drivetrain inverter, to supply B-TRAN® devices for integration into the custom power module and inverter designs. Also, as part of the second phase of the program, we provided Stellantis a comprehensive test plan for the testing required to achieve certification to automotive standards for B-TRAN®. The test plan was subsequently approved as submitted. In 2024, we successfully completed the second phase of the program. The next phase of the program builds on the completion of deliverables from the prior two program phases and transitions to Stellantis’ production team. We are currently finalizing the scope of work for the next phase of the program with Stellantis. This phase is expected to include the extensive testing of the custom B-TRAN® module to meet automotive certification standards enabling B-TRAN® to be the core of the powertrain inverter for the automaker’s next-generation EVs.
