Phoenix Medium Duty Vehicles: Gen 4 1. Asset Light Business Model: The “asset light” business model extends both upstream to suppliers and downstream to manufacturing partners: • Upstream – we leverage our strategic partnerships with R&D partners and engineering service suppliers. • Downstream – we partner with customers and third parties to establish manufacturing and assembly facilities located in key strategic locations across the U.S. 2. Scale: Efficient scaling of production: • Anaheim production facility reconfigured not only to increase production, but also to serve as a training and showcase facility to ensure procedures are standardized across all of our manufacturing and assembly locations. • Utilize customer and third-party assembly facilities to increase production with low capital requirements. 3. Battery Supply: Secured dependable supply source: • Benefit from partnership with CATL for long-term strategic supply of K-Packs and related products. • Solved the first major impediment to long-term growth…secure and reliable battery supply. 4. Reduced Costs: Gen 4 is expected to achieve lower production and materials costs compared to Gen 3 vehicles, benefiting from: • Standardization of processes and procedures • Use of standardized components and sub-assemblies • Reduction in numbers of parts and components from over 450 in Gen 3 to fewer than 80 in Gen 4 5. Retrofit Solution: Gen 4 has allowed for the development of our proprietary retrofit solution: • Enables fleet customers to meet government-mandated zero emissions targets in a quick and cost-effective manner • Provides much lower Total Cost of Ownership for fleet operators versus virtually any other option • Provides the double environmental benefit of both adding a zero-emission vehicle while also removing a gasoline-powered vehicle • Modular nature of our proprietary retrofit solution allows for easy siting in virtually any location around the globe In 2023, we will introduce our 4th Generation drivetrain (Gen 4) vehicles, providing a bridge to the Gen 5 “Ground Up Chassis” design Phoenix Motor Inc. | Page 21
