Q2 2026 earnings summary
13 Aug, 2026Executive summary
Q2 2026 marked a pivotal quarter with the launch of the Power Hub, expanding into power infrastructure and energy storage for data centers and the AI economy, and a strategic shift from commercial vehicles to broader solutions.

The company continues to face substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to ongoing losses, negative cash flows, and limited liquidity.
