LAUNCH OF ZENOVA WB: A NEW ANTI-WILDFIRE PRODUCT

 

"The Zenova WB fluid is clearly an effective product for use as part of wildland firefighting toolkits" – wildFIRE Lab, University of Exeter.

 

Zenova Group PLC   ("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group"), a provider of innovative fire safety and heat management technology and products, is pleased to announce the launch of its Zenova WB wildfire product following a number of highly successful tests. Importantly the product has now also been embraced by the University of Exeter's highly respected wildFIRE Lab, an independent organisation that conducts leading research on fire behaviour and fire effects on ecosystems.

 

In standard laboratory-controlled conditions Zenova WB prevented ignition and flaming of dry grass fuels that were treated with it. Moreover, despite exposures to temperatures of ~750oC, no heat was emitted from the dry-grass fuel and smouldering was prevented. A short video of the product in action can be viewed at the following link:   https://zenovagroup.com/products/zenova-wb/

The testing was led by Professor Claire Belcher, Director of the wildFIRE lab at the University of Exeter and a renowned expert in the transmission and causes of wildfires.  Following the studies she commented:

 

"We tested Zenova WB fluid in controlled conditions in the laboratory and I was amazed by its ability to prevent ignition and spread of fire in dry grassy fuels, which are typically the most ignitable fuel across many landscapes. I really look forward to working with the Zenova team in the future, to conduct trials on multiple vegetation substrates, both in the laboratory and during real landscape scale wildfire settings."

 

This announcement of the successful testing and subsequent endorsement of Zenova WB marks the formal launch of Zenova WB which has been designed, developed and manufactured by Zenova's in-house team of fire safety experts. The expectation from the Company is for Zenova WB to play a crucial global role in the tackling of wildfires, both helping to suppress an outbreak and also as a pre-emptive treatment measure for those areas deemed particularly high-risk.

 

The company's CEO, Tony Crawley, commented:

 

"This test by a renowned academic institution that is world leading in wildfire research validates the clear potential of Zenova WB fluid at the highest level".

 

"Wildfires are threatening lives, homes, infrastructure and wildlife and Zenova WB fluid can efficiently and economically tackle this problem globally by preventing wildfire spread.

 

Our existing products have strong environmental credentials and Zenova WB is no different, with tests showing the product can be applied without damaging the local environment.

 

We look forward to providing innovative solutions to all parts of the world affected by wildfires as we expand our operations internationally."

Large RailHub Enterprise Software Contract Win / Updated Forecast

 

Tracsis, a leading provider of software, hardware, data analytics/GIS and services for the rail, traffic data and wider transport industries, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a new multi-year significant contract in the UK for its RailHub software product suite. This is one of the large rail opportunities that we highlighted in our Interim Results announcement that was in the final stages of contract award.

 

RailHub* is a unique digital platform developed by Tracsis subsidiary OnTrac that allows railway workers to plan and deliver safer work on the railways by providing better and more visual information. Improving safety is a key priority area for the rail industry, which has an overriding focus on eradicating fatalities on or near the railway line, reducing near misses and reducing lost time accidents in rail and construction environments.

 

This contract will double RailHub's user base to over 30,000 individuals, reflecting the growing momentum in UK rail's shift to digital, and underpins our confidence in the future of the RailHub product with both rail infrastructure providers and maintainers.

 

As a result of this large enterprise licence win, ongoing growth in Rail Technology & Services and Data Analytics/GIS and a post Covid recovery in business activity levels in our Traffic Data and Events business units, we are now expecting full year EBITDA for the Group to exceed market expectations.

 

 

Chris Barnes, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"We are delighted to have secured this major new software contract win, which strongly aligns with the industry's ongoing investment in a digital railway as outlined in the recent 'William-Shapps Plan for Rail'. This win further cements RailHub as an industry leading piece of software and reinforces the reputation of Tracsis as a fast-to-market innovator of products and services for the rail industry ."

 

*More information on RailHub is available on the OnTrac website
