"We specialise in AI software that optimises business performance. Immediately we saw the potential in HVS’s AI innovations – it’s essentially the same transformative technology we use applied to the trucking industry."

We are delighted to announce this latest investment in HVS. Excelledia Ventures’ support enhances our eligibility for the £1 billion Qatar-UK Climate Tech Fund, thanks to Excelledia’s strong relationships with key stakeholders such as Qatar’s Transport Authority and Qatar Investment Authority. Thanks to its resources and expertise, the Middle East is also uniquely positioned to lead the global hydrogen charge and is already making significant progress.”

"Our mission is to optimise diesel trucks for cleaner performance today while advancing hydrogen-powered trucks for tomorrow,"Waheed explained.

HVS aims to further expand its impact with a NASDAQ listing in 2027, leveraging its Inngot IP valuation and Apricum’s market analysis to attract global investors.

This collaboration between HVS and Excelledia Ventures represents a powerful step forward in achieving sustainable transportation solutions, combining advanced hydrogen technology with
AI-driven efficiency to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry.
