Below text under the pic of engine room -
We developed a system that attaches to the ship’s drivetrain and hybridizes it so it can work more efficiently. The system utilizes supercapacitor technology as well as machine learning algorithms to provide the right amount of energy (or load) to the shaft, at precisely the right time, in order to deal with variable-size waves that would otherwise increase fuel burn by a huge amount. These waves increase the engine’s fuel burn by up to 30% more than in flat sea conditions. Because of our technology, we will be able to minimize the wasted fuel and regenerate power to put back into propelling the ship forward.

worth reading up to the end of 2.3 at least, academics recommendation for supercaps https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aenm.202100698
There was a placing 2021 indicating funds for sales and marketing, and new software, plus job ads for Chinese and EU sales. Worth chasing up how this is all getting along.
Was having a recap of last year's webinar between The Jeff and Powerfilm Solar; the former stating the company's supply to Itron smart meters so had a dig in the latter's recent product portfolio.

PR - all bold claims to be taken with a pinch of salt. This driver camera biz that's on "a mission to achieve zero transport fatalities", how's it work in the dark when most accidents happen? And I'm guessing it's only driver error when the roads are in fantastic shape? Not dissing the tech, it's a minefield, innit.
brief outlook summary

ABI, US analyst, look fairly reputable. The available whitepaper covers 70 odd other technology trends, not looked on as favourably.

Good article on company's product, applications, markets and tie-ups, inc cpx
Stick up an email here and I'll send it to you. It's a small pdf and I've mentioned contents of one new page of interest, the rest is old stuff. Could have been a Jeff Colton partner webinar, cant remember. Register at Investor Meet Company, for archive full one hour live presentations, AGMS, and for future notifications.
It's been ages since I saw any news from them (on their site under Partners they've had cpx listed for a long time). A little going on with AVX now on sensors and ESLs.

but was looking at p14 at roadmap, which stated 2 new products for mass production early 23. Three others slated for mid 23, and 2024
1. DMV Prismatic -3v, 1.1mm thick @ $2 each
2. SMD coin cell - 3.3-5.5v, @ $0.30 each
I dont know if anyone else has the pdf to post here, not sure how to transfer it myself, soz, but try this

But of recent info. Their Twitter page (link in article) also has info about Aussie approval too, and a press release about their new Dutch distributor for European customers.

Sodium Ion are certainly interesting for a possible breakthrough. I follow the Faraday Institution and notice Amte are listed as industry partners under the Team tab

"On Friday (11/11), we shipped out the first units of our first Everactive 'Edge' product: an evaluation kit that measures temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, and acceleration (three-axis) continuously, all from dim indoor light (no ?? required).
It's our first major step towards supporting connected product #developers, so they can easily design without the constraints of #batteries, opening up new applications, massive scale, and previously un- and under-monitored locations."
