Enova Confirms Delivery of 229 Systems in 3rd Quarter

Enova President and CEO Mike Staran commented, "We believe the 3rd quarter execution validates that our position in the market is one of a leader. With our anticipated delivery of additional systems to our core customers and our maturing relationship with Daimler/Freightliner, we believe we should experience further growth for the foreseeable future."

Enova expects continued growth with its core customers, specifically FAW and Navistar. The company also expects acceleration in its relationship with Freightliner via the Electric Vehicle fleet market segment.
