Worksport enters into agreement with Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc.

MISSISSAUGA — Worksport Ltd, an automotive and clean energy corporation, has announced on Apr. 21 that they have entered into a formal agreement with Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) to produce prototypes of the Worksport SOLIS, a solar tonneau cover capable of generating up to 650 watts of power, and a modified version of the COR energy storage system, specifically for the bed geometry of the Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup Truck model.

HATCI, a division of Hyundai Motor Company, has provided 3D Data to Worksport specifically for this project, and the two companies intend to explore the benefit of each other’s products working in tandem, in order to determine the viability of a future partnership. Syed Akbari, Project and Program Manager of Vehicle Planning and Analytics for HATCI commented, “We are very excited to collaborate with Worksport on a solar tonneau cover project, and we look forward to the final result.”

A tentative timeline was also agreed upon for the Project whereby the working SOLIS and COR models for Hyundai’s yet to be announced vehicle would be ready for presentation to Hyundai’s head office by October of 2022.

“Our Company is honored to take this step with Hyundai and we are confident that they will be pleased with the working SOLIS and COR systems upon completion,” said Steven Rossi, Worksport’s Chief Executive Officer. “To come together on a project with such a well-known brand allows for even more innovation and development from our Engineering Team, and enables Worksport to continue to serve as the leader in our industry.”
