Hybrid Power Solutions has executed a Proof of Concept (POC) Development Agreement with Reliable Robots to deploy autonomous mobile robots at its new Etobicoke, Ontario facility. Under the agreement dated January 19, 2026, Reliable Robots will introduce units from Pudu Robotics and Keenon Robotics—specifically the PUDU T300 industrial delivery robot and the Keenon T9—to evaluate real-world material handling and delivery tasks. Over a 4–6 week testing period beginning within two weeks of activation, Hybrid’s operations team will collect data on throughput rates, cycle times and error rates, benchmarking the robots’ VSLAM+ navigation, payload handling (up to 600 kg for the T300 and 40 kg for the T9), and multi-modal capabilities. Reliable Robots will provide the equipment, training, technical support and data analysis at no cost, while Hybrid supplies facility access and personnel. Joint progress reviews and a final summary report will inform decisions on shop-floor layout, labour allocation and scalable automation investments as production ramps up.

On January 19, 2026, Hybrid Power Solutions closed the final tranche of its Life Offering financing, raising gross proceeds of CDN $53,025 through the issuance of 883,750 units and bringing total proceeds under the program to CDN $1,067,925 from 17,798,749 units. Each unit comprised one common share and one warrant, exercisable over 24 months, and the financing was conducted under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. Finder’s fees of CDN $38,690.40 were paid and 644,840 non-transferable finder’s warrants were issued. The net proceeds will support ongoing operations, product R&D, sales growth initiatives, marketing, general corporate purposes and administrative expenses. Completion remains subject to customary regulatory approvals, including the Canadian Securities Exchange’s consent.
