**WaveTech Enters MOU to Power Electric Forklift Trucks with Crystal Control Technology**

WaveTech GmbH, a subsidiary of WaveTech Group, Inc., and Niche Fusina Rolled Products S.r.l. (Fusina) have entered into an agreement to test the application of WaveTech's Crystal Control Technology (CCT) on their electric forklift trucks, to reduce operational and capital expenditures while reducing carbon emissions born by lead acid battery usage.

This agreement is a significant milestone for WaveTech, as it marks the company's expansion into a new applicational segment within the motive power industry - specifically, electric forklift trucks. This is particularly important given that the aluminum production industry, a major player in the market, is heavily reliant on forklift trucks for their operations.

The MOU includes field trials to monitor the improvements of treating lead acid batteries with Crystal Control Technology on Fusina's electric forklift trucks. The trials will take place at Fusina's plant located in Marghera, in the Veneto region (Italy) considered one of the most industrialized areas of Europe. The company will also work with local institutions and introduce WaveTech to suppliers and local industries with successful results coming from the trial.

CEO of Fusina, Vincenzo Zinni, said "As part of our commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations, we have entered into this MOU with WaveTech to optimize the usable life of the batteries in our forklift trucks. Upon a successful trial, we expect that Fusina can significantly reduce the carbon intensity by applying the novel and proven energy saving solution developed by WaveTech. Fusina is committed to contributing to the green economy".
