### Supporting REV’s Mission to Electrify Fleets

Rapid Electric Vehicles specializes in converting fleet vehicles to all-electric
power. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates electric powertrains that
replace internal combustion engines in existing fleet platforms.

This approach helps organizations reduce fuel costs, cut emissions, and meet sustainability
goals without buying entirely new vehicles. REV’s solutions are particularly appealing
to municipalities, utilities, and other commercial fleet operators looking for practical
paths to electrification.

### A Strategic Move for Growth

REV says adding Wallace to its board is a strategic step as it scales production

of electric vehicles will support REV’s plans to accelerate adoption of its conversion
technologies.

Wallace will provide guidance on product development, partnerships, and market strategy,
helping REV navigate the evolving landscape of fleet electrification.

### Industry Momentum for Fleet Electrification

Fleet operators worldwide are increasingly embracing electric vehicles to reduce
costs and meet stricter environmental regulations. Converting existing vehicles 
to electric power offers an efficient, lower-cost way to achieve these goals.

REV is positioning itself to meet this growing demand with proven, scalable solutions.
By adding seasoned leadership like Wallace, the company signals its readiness to
compete in a rapidly expanding market.

### A Stronger Future for Sustainable Transportation

John Wallace’s appointment underscores REV’s commitment to innovation and leadership
in the electric vehicle sector. His track record in bringing EV technology to mainstream
markets aligns perfectly with REV’s mission to deliver practical, sustainable solutions
for fleet operators.

With Wallace’s guidance, REV aims to advance its role in shaping a cleaner, more
efficient transportation future.
