"I am excited to take on the challenge of leading EnerDel forward into a period of substantial growth across the core strategic segments of heavy duty transportation, as well as grid and off-grid stationary applications. The company is at the right spot strategically to capitalize on the growing understanding of how lithium-ion energy storage can facilitate our broader goals of energy security and independence, as well as the sustainable impact of integrating renewables on our grid. Our focus will be on delivering beyond our current customers' expectations and cultivating new customers based on our historic success," said Mr. Canada.

There is still work to be done in the industry, and I think that Mike will do a great job solidifying EnerDel's spot as a market leader."
