Sdot Dan becomes the latest regional council in central Israel to implement the SaverOne System to protect school children
Petah Tikvah, Israel, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in developing transportation safety solutions, today announced that the Sdot Dan Regional Council in Israel has signed an agreement to install the SaverOne system on its fleet of buses which transport students to their schools. Sdot Dan joins a group of other regional councils that have implemented the SaverOne system to protect the transportation of students to local schools including the regional councils of Emek Yizrael, Mevo’ot Hermon and Mate Asher.
Under the terms of the agreement, SaverOne will deploy its driver distraction prevention system on the fleet of vehicles operated by the council, with the goal of preventing driver distraction to better protect school children, and serving as a model for enhancing road safety.
The Sdot Dan Regional Council is an important local authority in central Israel, controlling an extensive road network with its proximity to all the major highways and large logistics areas in central Israel. Sdot Dan is a strategic customer, whose adoption of the SaverOne system serves as a model to other local authorities and supports SaverOne’s long-term goal of widespread adoption into broad urban markets.
Commented Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, “This agreement is an important step in expanding our presence among local authorities and public transportation operators. The adoption of the SaverOne system by this central and influential regional council demonstrates the growing recognition of the critical importance of using technology for increasing safety by preventing driver distraction, especially in the context of public transportation. We see a growing momentum in the local government sector and see strong interest by regulators in both Israel and around the globe to encourage the implementation of vehicle safety technologies to protect the transportation of school children. We expect additional councils and municipalities to join the growing group of authorities deploying our solution to enhance the safety of their fleets, and becoming a model for the communities they serve.”
About the SaverOne System
SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to solve the problem of driver distraction as a result of drivers using distracting applications on their mobile phones while driving in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the leading causes of global road accidents. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile phones while driving. SaverOne’s technology specifically recognizes the driver area in the vehicle. It prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging while allowing others (navigation as an example) without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne’s primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets interested in reducing potential damages and significant costs, vehicle manufacturers interested in integrating safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with a focus on the Israeli, European, and US markets and other markets worldwide. SaverOne believes that an increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, driven by upcoming expected EU regulation, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future.
The Company’s strategy is to provide its technology to customers in the aftermarket and address OEM vehicle manufacturers to integrate the Company’s protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.
