Properties.
We currently own one facility in Changxing, China, which is approximately 165,800 square feet, and is primarily used for engineering and production of vehicle kits of the Metro® and
assembly of certain ECV models for export and logistics operations. We currently lease eighteen facilities and offices located in the United States, Germany, Mexico and China. One of our existing United States facilities located in
Freehold, New Jersey, is approximately 9,750 square feet and is used primarily for the trial production of our Logistar™ 400 model and warehousing. Our second existing facility in Freehold, New Jersey is approximately 2,600 square feet and
is used as our corporate headquarters. The third facility in Howell, New Jersey includes two units with a combined space of 41,160 square feet and is used to supplement the first New Jersey facility for production. Our leased China
facility is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, with approximately 15,456 square feet of office space primarily used as regional headquarters, as well as for research and development, supply-chain management, and sales operations.
In January 2022, we established a European Operations Center in Dusseldorf, Germany, which provides marketing support, after-market support and spare-parts warehousing for the European
market. Our European Operations Center is approximately 27,220 square feet.
We established a local assembly facility and EV Center in Jacksonville, Florida. The assembly factory is where we plan to assemble the Logistar™ 400 and the Teemak™ for eventual sale in the
North American market. We began trial assembling operations at the Jacksonville facility in March 2023. Our Florida based EV Center is approximately 12,000 square feet and is our flagship EV Center for sales and support functions.
In addition, in connection with our acquisition of TME, we utilize TME’s facility in Herne, Germany, where we are expanding local assembly capacity in the European Union for production of
our European ECV models, including the Teemak® and Logistar™ series, in addition to the Metro®. In November 2022, we leased a 112,332 square feet manufacturing facility located in the Aero Industrial Park in Monterrey, Mexico that will
house our wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Cennatic Energy, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. (“Cennatic Energy”). Cennatic Energy will manufacture lithium-ion batteries for electric commercial vehicles. The purpose of the facility is to enhance the
independence of our supply chain for essential components.
