1. Strong acceleration of GAUSSIN Group's
growth
The GAUSSIN Group's 2021 turnover is up sharply (+30%) compared
to 2020, which had already seen a doubling of sales compared to
2019. This dynamic reflects the success of GAUSSIN's strategic
choices in the development of clean and intelligent mobility for
goods and people.
The success in January 2022 of GAUSSIN's participation in the
Dakar Rally with the H2 Racing Truck®, the most powerful
hydrogen-powered truck in the world, has elevated awareness of the
company that should accelerate its growth worldwide. The contacts
made during the competition are expected to encourage the
deployment of its cutting-edge technology in zero-emission
vehicles, whether electric or hydrogen-powered, and the sale of
licenses internationally. In 2022, priority will be given to the
United States, Canada, the Middle East, Russia and China. While the
Group has already sold a dozen licenses since the launch of this
strategy in 2019, the goal remains to sign 40 in the next 24
months.
A look back at the main achievements of
2021
- Creation of GAUSSIN North America. At the beginning of
January, GAUSSIN announced the creation of its North American
subsidiary, which will lead its commercial deployment across the
Atlantic (see PR from January 4, 2021). This new strategic entity
will accelerate the marketing of GAUSSIN electric and hydrogen
vehicles.
- The Asia-Pacific subsidiary, headquartered in Singapore
(see PR from January 14, 2021), is in charge of deploying GAUSSIN's
electric and hydrogen vehicle ranges throughout the countries in
the region.
- Launch of "Zero-emission Yard Automation". At the end of
March, the Group presented its new solution of autonomous
hydrogen-powered tractors equipped with a robotic arm, intended for
major logistics and e-commerce players (see PR from March 23,
2021). This disruptive technology, developed at the request of
various customers, will be tested at two major logistics and
e-commerce companies in the United States and Europe in mid-2021.

long period, and there may be either a time lag, which does not
affect the order book, or total or partial cancellations linked to
the customer's activity, which would then have an impact on the
Company's activity, results and financial situation. It should also
be noted that, in general, the review of the order book is not part
of the auditors' duties.
5. Acceleration of the global deployment
strategy
The GAUSSIN Group is implementing a strategy of deploying its
technology worldwide based on its Global Licensing program and the
