Market Driver

The structural health monitoring market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies. IoT networks, which include sensors, thermostats, and actuators, are interconnected over the Internet to collect and evaluate data. This data can be used to optimize energy usage and implement predictive maintenance, resulting in lower operational costs and increased productivity. For instance, Boeing has seen a 13% decrease in annual operational budgets after implementing IoT-based predictive analysis. Third-party outsourcing companies, such as Novotek, are also offering IoT solutions for building management. The demand for IoT in smart buildings is expected to drive market growth. IoT can transform various functions in the structural health monitoring market, such as lighting and refrigeration, fire suppression systems, security and safety alarms, remote monitoring of facilities, and central HVAC. For example, smart energy meters in buildings reduce the need for on-site technicians, and predictive maintenance solutions optimize machine repairs and lower CAPEX budgets. The Edge building in Amsterdam, with approximately 8,000 sensors, is a prime example of IoT’s potential in structural health monitoring, providing real-time data on building occupancy, activity patterns, and environmental data. Overall, IoT’s ability to improve productivity and energy efficiency is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period. 

The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing need for reliable infrastructure in urbanizing areas and the role of SHM solutions in assessing the health condition of civil infrastructure. Developments in wireless, real-time measurement technologies have made SHM systems more accessible and cost-effective. However, failures in engineering design and lack of integration with other systems remain challenges. Europe, Brazil, Spain, and Italy are key markets for SHM systems, with cities and infrastructure projects driving the demand. Predictive solutions for damage assessment and performance monitoring are becoming essential tools for ensuring the integrity of structures worldwide. Acellent Technologies and others are leading the way in SHM technology integration and repair solutions. The SHM systems market is expected to continue growing on a global basis, providing essential solutions for the reliability and performance of civil infrastructure.

Market Challenges

Small organizations in growing economies face budget constraints, often relying on investor funds for structural health monitoring services. This can lead to the procurement of low-quality services, increasing maintenance and operation costs, and negatively impacting profitability. Rising labor costs and the need for skilled personnel training further hinder market growth. Additionally, aging assets consume excessive energy, and their replacement and maintenance add to operational costs. Effective structural health monitoring becomes less viable under these high costs. Consequently, budgetary pressures in small organizations will limit the expansion of the global structural health monitoring market during the forecast period.The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) market is seeing growing demand due to the need for infrastructure safety and maintenance. Large machines and equipment, functionally obsolete and structurally deficient bridges, and aging infrastructure require constant monitoring to ensure safety and prevent costly repairs or replacements. Safety regulations and high-profile events like FIFA World Cup, Cricket World Cup, Indian Premier League, Olympics, and even sporting venues in France, highlight the importance of monitoring structures for potential issues. SHM systems use sensors to detect damage and provide real-time data, helping in timely maintenance and reducing costs. The market includes dams, energy, aerospace, mining, defense, and construction sectors. Adoption and implementation of these technologies are a focus for governments and industries alike. Questions remain around costs and the impact of technologies on existing systems and processes. Advancements in hardware and software continue to drive development in this segment.

By

Shareholder Call Scheduled for November 15, 2024 at 10 a.m. EST/7 a.m. PST

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (Nasdaq: GP) (TSXV: GPV) (“GreenPower” and the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today reported its second quarter fiscal year 2025 results and provided an update on its manufacturing operations.

“GreenPower spent the quarter advancing the school bus production process at its West Virginia facility by setting up an oversized paint booth and establishing production stations to increase throughput in order to meet customer orders and demands,” said GreenPower President Brendan Riley. “The increase in production coupled with manufacturing process improvements is expected to result in higher gross profit margins and cost reductions on a per unit basis as throughput improves.”

Riley said that the Company has been systematically increasing its production workforce to provide for its growing production. “Putting the workforce in place and validating the manufacturing process is key to our efficiency, and production growth which is expected to drive cost savings on a per unit basis. With these in place, GreenPower will be able to attain its longer-term manufacturing goal of producing 20 school buses per month,” he said, noting that steady, measured growth, a foundation of GreenPower’s model, is critical for maintaining quality throughout the production process.

“The growth in production complements GreenPower’s sales strategy of focusing on states where there are money and mandates for electric school buses,” added Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. “While we continue to manufacture and sell EV school buses for current orders and contracts under both state and federal programs, the future is more focused on states that have put policies and plans in place to provide a cleaner, healthier ride for students through the deployment of electric school buses. States like California and New York, and regions like the Southwest.”

During the second quarter of GreenPower’s fiscal year 2025, the manufacturing process was exhibited when the Company produced the first Type D BEAST all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission school bus for the 37 BEAST order from the state of West Virginia from its South Charleston plant, which was delivered at the beginning of our current quarter.  That was the second BEAST produced in the facility following the production of the Kanawha County bus purchased directly by the school district outside of the state order. Additional deliveries to fulfill the state order are planned to take place in the third and fourth quarters.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights:

Generated revenues of $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 78% over the previous quarter.Delivered 11 BEAST Type D all-electric school buses, six EV Star Cargo and EV Star Cargo Plus and five EV Star Passenger Vans.Deferred revenue increased to $10.4 million, including the current portion of $7.5 million, which is expected to be realized over the next year.At the end of the quarter GreenPower had working capital of $10.1 million including inventory of $31.7 million consisting of $9.3 million of finished goods, $18.6 million of work-in-process and $3.8 million of parts and components.Received order for school buses under EPA’s Clean School Bus Program from the RWC Group for Arizona.

In October the Company completed an underwritten offering of 3,000,000 common shares raising gross proceeds of $3 million. The net proceeds from this offering are intended for the production of all-electric vehicles, including BEAST school buses and EV Star commercial vehicles, product development, with the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes.  

For additional information on the results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2024 review the interim financial statements and related reports posted on GreenPower’s website as well as on www.sedar.com or filed on EDGAR.
