LONDON, April 11, 2025 – VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) (“VivoPower” or the “Company”) announced that its subsidiary, Tembo e-LV (“Tembo”), has signed a Definitive Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) worth up to an estimated US$85 million with leading Saudi Arabian energy and environmental solutions provider Green Watt to sell and distribute 1,600 Tembo electric utility vehicle (EUV) units across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the next five years.
Green Watt is a KSA-based company established in 2016 and specializes in the areas of renewable energy, energy conservation, and environmental sustainability. With strong emphasis on environmental protection, quality and transparency, Green Watt assists its clients to achieve their financial and environmental objectives. By implementing energy conservation measures (ECMs), Green Watt ensures reduced power consumption, reduced cost and carbon footprint. In addition to that, Green Watt provides solutions ranging from stand-alone PV systems to complex hybrid applications. Customers of Green Watt include Aramco, Halliburton, the Saudi Electric Company, Honeywell, Baker Hughes, JAL International, and Al Mansoori, among others.
The strategic distribution agreement between VivoPower and Green Watt reflects both companies’ shared commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia presents an opportunity for corporate partnerships in sustainable energy solutions, driven by strong government support and ambitious carbon reduction targets aligned with global sustainability goals. The widespread use of ruggedized utility vehicles, such as the Land Cruiser 70 series, by law enforcement and government agencies, as well as the mining, oil and gas and other industrial sectors means there is a significant addressable market for electrification.
With numerous agencies and corporates operating under vehicle lease structures, converting used Land Cruisers to electric and re-leasing them offers a practical, cost-effective pathway to electrification. This model not only lowers operational costs but also supports the KSA’s transition to a greener economy.
Nazir Muhammad, CEO of Green Watt, said: “At Green Watt, we believe in electrifying the future of mobility, not just in words but in action. Our partnership with Tembo marks a decisive step towards cleaner, smarter transportation solutions across emerging markets. Together, we’re not only reducing emissions but also empowering communities with sustainable technologies that work for people and the planet.”
Matthew Nestor, Director, Head of Global Partnerships at VivoPower, said: “This partnership with Green Watt is a strategic milestone in our mission to deliver turnkey sustainable energy solutions to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Nazir and the Green Watt team share our commitment to decarbonizing transport in a commercially viable and socially impactful way. By joining forces, we’re accelerating the deployment of Tembo’s electrification technology in a country committed to decarbonisation, where it can make a transformative difference.”
