Flash Transforms Parking at Denver International Airport

Flash

Flash, the leading end-to-end parking technology platform, announced today it has completed an overhaul of public and employee parking at Denver International Airport (DEN) through a contract the City and County of Denver awarded in August 2024. In just 22 days, Flash deployed its platform across the airport’s nine public and employee parking garages and lots, bringing a state-of-the-art parking experience to DEN’s 40,000 employees and the 77.8 million passengers they serve annually. "Flash’s commitment to DEN has been tremendous and we look forward to a bright future that provides innovative solutions to improve the customer experience," said Mark Nagel, Senior Vice President of Parking and Commercial Transportation, Denver International Airport. In its first few weeks of deployment, DEN reports improved traffic flow and reduced wait times for vehicles entering and exiting the airport’s parking facilities. DEN’s deployment of Flash’s platform spans 144 lanes and features 137 kiosks, 97 license plate recognition (LPR) lanes, and 49 automatic vehicle identification (AVI) lanes. With the new AVI lanes, employees can enter and exit automatically in seconds via vehicle-mounted passes that require no interaction with their phones or kiosks. “DEN is the sixth busiest airport in the world and sees millions of parking transactions each year, requiring the highest service level,” said Flash CEO Dan Sharplin. “Our technology breadth and industry-leading scale, plus our maniacal focus on the driver experience, made us confident we could support DEN’s traffic volumes and service levels while getting passengers and employees through parking transactions quickly, and it’s hugely gratifying to see it live.” DEN also benefits from the Flash platform’s design as an enhanced cloud-based parking solution. In the event of an internet, payment processor, network or cloud disruption, the platform maintains continuous operations and critical payment processing capabilities so the airport’s parking facilities stay up and running.

This EV-Based Small Cap Has Partnerships With Walmart, NASA And The U.S. Postal Service – Is It On Your Radar?

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOEV), a high-tech advanced mobility company bringing electric vehicles – namely lifestyle delivery vehicles – to commercial operators, seems to have made strides in its quest to create a state-of-the-art EV commercial fleet. The company has inked deals with some of the biggest names in the U.S., including Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT), the U.S. Postal Service, the Department of Defense and even NASA. So what makes these large industry players and government agencies want to partner with a relatively unknown brand? After all, Canoo doesn’t have the name recognition of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). However, it does have scalable technology, which it says sets it apart. EV Is Here to Stay Over the long haul, electric fleets for commercial and government customers have a lower total cost of ownership and don’t require costly fuel. But Canoo says it takes it a step further by using one-third the parts of traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs). The maintenance schedule is almost an afterthought thanks to its advanced computer architecture, which in most cases, can remotely diagnose and repair its EVs via over-the-air (OTA) software. The company also offers a warranty that covers up to eight years, something not common in the auto industry. Canoo is going after the last-mile delivery market with its fully electric Lifestyle Delivery Vehicles (LDV). The LDVs have a last-mile delivery optimized cabin and customized cargo space. Last-mile delivery refers to the very last step of the delivery process when a parcel is moved from one location to another. Canoo reports that it utilizes true steer-by-wire technology, reducing moving parts and cabin intrusion – resulting in more usable interior space, better driver ergonomics and the addition of a panoramic window to improve road visibility. The LDV is engineered for high-frequency stop-and-go deliveries and speedy vehicle-to-door drop-off, including grocery and food/meal delivery, says Canoo. Walmart Is In All those attributes are part of what led Walmart to select Canoo as its EV fleet provider. Walmart inked a deal to purchase 4,500 all-electric delivery vehicles from Canoo, beginning with the LDV. The retailer has the option to purchase up to 10,000 units. The vehicles are to be used to deliver online orders in a sustainable way which will also contribute to Walmart’s goal to achieve zero emissions by 2040, the companies said when originally announcing the deal. Canoo is headquartered in Justin, TX, and operates manufacturing sites in Oklahoma. While that is Canoo’s biggest order to date, the company is also making inroads with the U.S. government, inking deals with NASA, the Department of Defense and the U.S. Postal Service. All have the potential to expand into something more. Take the U.S. Post Office deal for starters. The postal service agreed to buy six right-hand drive versions of the LDV 190 as part of its move to electrify and modernize the postal service’s delivery fleet. Canoo delivered the vehicles this May, and the USPS is using them on mail routes. Additionally, the USPS is investing $40 billion to upgrade and improve the organization's processing, transportation and delivery networks. If it likes what it sees from Canoo, that could mean more purchases down the road. Meanwhile, NASA had also purchased three Crew Transportation Vehicles (CTVs) to transport the astronauts to the launch pad for the Artemis lunar missions. The CTVs are engineered to carry fully suited astronauts, flight support crew and equipment to the launch pad. “We are thrilled to be a part of the Artemis missions and to deliver NASA’s first zero-emission built for mission crew transportation vehicles,” said Tony Aquila, Chairman and CEO of Canoo. “It’s a very proud day for Canoo and all of our partners who worked so hard to ensure we perform our part to transport the astronauts for the first nine miles of every launch.” Beyond LDVs Beyond electric vehicles, Canoo is busy supplying batteries to the Department of Defense, expanding a deal with the U.S. Navy. Canoo’s proprietary battery system is modular and can support various military applications and configurations. The batteries harbor 5kWh modules that utilize 2170 cylindrical cells, but can fit other form factors and cell chemistries. The company says the expansion of the partnership further validates its technology and reliability. It is also delivering the Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) to the U.S. Army. From fully electric vehicles that can transport cargo, goods and people to batteries powered by wind and solar, Canoo is doing its part for a greener tomorrow. It may not be a household name yet, but with some big-name players as partners, it's one investors may want to keep an eye on. Keep a look out for more Canoo Inc. announcements here.

EURONAV SHAREHOLDERS IN LINE FOR A US$46 MILLION PAYOUT FOLLOWING COURT RULING AGAINST CMB

FourWorld Capital Management

On Friday, the Brussels Market Court in Belgium ruled that Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB) wrongly calculated the offer price of shares during its mandatory takeover of Euronav NV in February this year. The court decided the value of each share should be retrospectively increased by at least US$0.52, amounting to an additional pay out of US$46 million. This sum takes into account the 69.2 million shares tendered in March 2024, and those remaining that may be sold if the public offer is re-opened. The Markets’ Court found that when calculating the bid price, CMB had failed to take into account special advantages worth US$104 million granted to Frontline when simultaneously selling it the best part of Euronav’s fleet (its newest 24 VLCC’s or very large crude carriers). The Court’s findings are exceptionally critical of CMB and Frontline: “It is particularly curious that the negotiations regarding the sale of the fleet, although they involved a transaction between Frontline and Euronav, took place exclusively between Frontline and CMB. Euronav was not at the negotiating table. As FourWorld rightly puts it, Euronav was completely sidelined” (para. 112) “CMB and Frontline exerted tremendous pressure on Euronav's supervisory board. (…) The independent chairwoman of the council, in particular, was placed under intense pressure” (para. 115) “Under normal market conditions, transactions are negotiated between directly involved parties, especially between buyer and seller. This is not what happened here. The price of about 2.35 billion dollar paid by Frontline cannot therefore be considered market-conform under these circumstances. This price implied a particular advantage in favor of Frontline.” (para. 117) This ruling breaks new legal ground in Belgium and abroad regarding judicial protection of the minority shareholders, putting brazen bidders willing to game the system on notice. These findings were only made possible after key documents, including supervisory board meeting minutes, legal and financial advice and further evidence, were made available to the public following a court ruling in the United States earlier this year in a case also brought by FourWorld Capital Management LLC (FourWorld). John Addis, Founder and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of FourWorld said: “Friday’s ruling makes it clear that Euronav’s two largest shareholders acted to serve their own interests at the expense of the company and minority shareholders which is an important first step in unravelling this deal. We believe there was a far greater cost to independent shareholders than recognized by the Brussels Market Court on Friday. “CMB and Frontline managed to pull off the deal of a lifetime underneath the noses of Euronav’s supervisory board and financial regulators. Our years of experience fighting for minority shareholder interests has shown that if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. FourWorld will continue to fight through the courts for a fair outcome to this case.” The Brussels Markets’ Court placed the resolution of the share price adjustment firmly back in the jurisdiction of the Belgian financial regulator (FSMA), ordering it to re-examine the bid price taking into account its findings. This means that the FSMA may yet increase the bid price by more than 0,52 US$ – something FourWorld will ask it to do. Having concluded that Euronav’s Supervisory board was sidelined and then coerced, this ruling paves the way for success in a separate legal challenge currently underway in the Antwerp Enterprise Court. In that case, FourWorld has petitioned for the unwinding of CMB’s mandatory takeover, Euronav’s US$2.35 billion fleet sale to Frontline and Euronav’s decision to renounce and settle its arbitration claim against Frontline. The case is scheduled to appear before the Antwerp Enterprise Court in May 2026. - ENDS - Notes for Editors: About FourWorld Capital Management LLC: FourWorld Capital Management is an SEC registered investment adviser with offices in New York and Munich. The company has a particular focus on legal and regulatory catalysts and is currently fighting for a fairer deal on behalf of minority shareholders who lost out during CMB’s mandatory takeover of Euronav NV in 2024 and following its failed merger with Frontline.

The Technology Powering Aeva's (NYSE: AEVA) Vision For A Safer Autonomous Future And Why It Could Be Game-Changing

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to autonomous driving, safety and accuracy are top of mind. For self-driving cars, trucks and trains to become ubiquitous on America’s roads, streets and railways, they must be extremely safe and reliable. The same goes for the robots that will someday deliver everything from food to medicine without human intervention. They have to be able to see everything around them and react in real time to avoid crashes. Technology advances and companies like Aeva Technologies (NYSE: AEVA) are making that a reality. Mountain View, California-based Aeva makes LiDAR sensors for use in vehicles, trucks and trains. The sensors act as eyes, providing 3D views of the surroundings. FMCW, The Technology Enabler For Highway Autonomy What takes Aeva’s sensors to the next level on the safety and reliability fronts is its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, which uses a low-power continuous laser beam to measure range and a fourth dimension of velocity at the same time. Aeva says FMCW unlocks new levels of safety and automation by instantaneously discriminating between moving and non-moving points and knowing the precise velocity of objects in motion. Instant velocity data gives real-time insight into how an object’s position is changing, giving the vehicle’s computer a more accurate picture to help plan its next move. But that’s not all. Aeva’s sensors also have advanced perception capabilities that deliver new features, which the company says are not possible with typical legacy LiDAR sensors, including Ultra resolution and vehicle localization. Ultra resolution provides a camera-like image of the world providing what Aeva Technologies says is up to 20 times the resolution of legacy time-of-flight LiDAR sensors. Image segmentation enables the detection of roadway markings, drivable regions, vegetation, road barriers and road hazards like tire fragments at up to twice the distance of conventional time-of-flight LiDAR sensors. Instant velocity data allows for confident detection and tracking of dynamic objects such as oncoming vehicles and other moving objects at distances up to 500 meters, reports Aeva. Meanwhile the technology’s Vehicle Localization features enable real-time vehicle motion estimation with six degrees of freedom, providing accurate vehicle positioning and navigation, which could be a substitute for other sensors, like IMU or GPS. That provides for safe autonomous navigation in common GPS-denied environments like tunnels and parking structures. Aeva says its FMCW technology provides autonomous vehicles with freedom from interference from sunlight and other LiDAR sensors, elimination of retroreflector blooming and ghosting from highly reflective objects like street signs and roadway markings, as well as a greater ability to see in weather conditions like dust, fog, rain and snow. Importantly, these benefits can allow automated vehicles to safely operate at highway speeds, a feat that has been sought after by major car manufacturers. Overcoming The Limitations With all that safety and technology packed into Aeva’s LiDAR sensors, Aeva is overcoming one of the biggest challenges of self-driving vehicles today: blindspots. Self-driving vehicle algorithms and conventional sensors can have difficulty when the weather is bad, lane markings are not clear or unexpected obstacles are in their way. That can lead to accidents and fatalities. Reacting in real-time is the goal and Aeva delivers that with its LiDAR sensors. The company’s FMCW LiDAR sensors can also enable self-driving cars and trucks to achieve highway speeds safely. It's something that has eluded the industry so far, with many self-driving vehicles achieving top speeds of 35 to 45 MPH. For the trucking industry to move to autonomous vehicles, it has to be able to sustain highway speeds safely. Achieving that can someday address the labor shortages the heavy truck industry faces. Finding drivers who want to spend most of their time on the road and away from family for three to four-week clips is harder to come by. Autonomous trucks that can run all day and all night can help fill that gap. It’s why Daimler Truck AG is using Aeva’s sensors in its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia autonomous truck platform. Daimler Truck intends to integrate the LiDAR sensors directly into its production process, making it easy for customers to buy autonomous-ready trucks directly from its manufacturing plants. Daimler Truck said it chose Aeva’s LiDAR sensors because of its ability to provide enhanced safety and control. “Daimler Truck is committed to leading the industry’s advancement toward autonomous trucks. Selecting the right LiDAR technology is a crucial strategic decision to safely deploy autonomous trucks on the road,” said Joanna Buttler, Head of Global Autonomous Technology Group at Daimler Truck. “We are convinced that Aeva with its cutting-edge and reliable technology is the right production partner for LiDAR sensors and has the manufacturing capabilities to scale along with us.” The world is moving toward autonomous vehicles but for them to become ubiquitous safety can’t be a question. That’s where companies like Aeva Technologies come in. Its advanced next-generation LiDAR sensors can react in real-time, potentially taking autonomous driving to the next level.

Nuvectis Pharma Rises in Pre-Market Following FDA Orphan Drug Designation for NXP800, Fueling Optimism Ahead of Key Clinical Data

Global Markets News

Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has achieved a significant milestone with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting Orphan Drug Designation for its lead candidate, NXP800. This designation, specifically for the treatment of ARID1a-deficient ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers, marks a critical step forward in Nuvectis’s mission to address unmet needs in oncology. Orphan Drug Designation: A Strategic Advantage The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation is awarded to drugs that show promise in treating rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. For Nuvectis, this designation not only validates the potential of NXP800 but also provides several strategic benefits. These include tax credits for clinical trial costs, exemption from certain FDA fees, and potentially seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. NXP800 targets ARID1a-deficient cancers, a subset of ovarian cancers that present significant treatment challenges. The Orphan Drug Designation underscores the importance of this candidate in potentially offering a new, more effective treatment option for patients with this specific genetic mutation. Background and Market Impact This latest achievement builds on Nuvectis Pharma’s earlier successes. Earlier this year, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to NXP800 for its development in platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. The Fast Track status, combined with the Orphan Drug Designation, highlights the urgent need for innovative treatments in this space and positions NXP800 as a potential game-changer in oncology. Financial analysts have taken note of Nuvectis’s progress. H.C. Wainwright recently reiterated its buy rating for Nuvectis, setting a price target of $21. This optimistic outlook reflects the market’s confidence in the company’s strategic direction, particularly as it prepares to release key clinical data later this year. Anticipation for Upcoming Results The next few months are expected to be pivotal for Nuvectis Pharma. The company is poised to share updates from its ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of NXP800, which targets patients with platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. This trial is being closely watched, as positive results could significantly advance the development of NXP800, bringing it closer to pivotal trials and eventual regulatory approval. Additionally, Nuvectis is also conducting a Phase 1a dose escalation study for NXP900, its second key candidate, which targets YES1/SRC-driven tumors. Updates from this study are expected to provide further insights into the safety and potential efficacy of NXP900. ### Nuvvectis' Full announcment, titled " Nuvectis Pharma Announces Orphan Drug Designation Granted by the FDA for NXP800 for the Treatment of ARID1a-deficient Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancers" was published on August 29th, 2024. ### This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial, investment or any form of professional advice, recommendation or endorsement.
