Vancouver, BC, February 11, 2020 –(Investorideas.com Newswire, Homelanddefensestocks.com) A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZ) announced today that the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“MOD”) has awarded the Company a three-year contract for CAN $1.5 million that will be paid over the life of the contract.


Under the terms of the contract the Israeli MOD will be leasing A2Z’s products and equipment for which A2Z will be responsible for maintenance for the duration of the contract. The equipment will remain the property of A2Z throughout. At the end of the contract the company will be able to determine how to best position the assets going-forward. There is also significant potential for a new contract for the same services #following the end of the three-year contract period.

“We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this contract and the continued strength we are seeing in our technologies and service businesses. This contract is not only a significant source of recurring revenues for the next three years but also deepens our relationship with one of our most long-standing government partners. A2Z and the Israeli MOD have been working together for decades now, and with our new innovative FTICS technology, which we believe is "the next seatbelt" to make automobiles safer than ever, we look forward to continue protecting the lives of both military and civilian populations in future decades as well.” said Bentsur Joseph, CEO of A2Z.

Israel’s Ministry of Defense is the governmental department responsible for Israel’s security at the political, military, and civilian levels with their primary objective being to ensure the safety of Israel. The MOD also promotes research and development in security technologies and supports veterans and their families.

#Military #Robotics #Stock News (TSXV: $AZ.V) - A2Z Technologies Canada Provides Update on Life Saving Automotive Innovations: FTICS; @A2Z_Advanced

#Military #Robotics #Stock News (TSXV: $AZ.V) - A2Z Technologies Canada Provides Update on Life Saving Automotive Innovations: FTICS; @A2Z_Advanced 



TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, February 6, 2020 – (investorideas.com Newswire, Homelanddefensestocks.com) A2Z Technologies Canada Corp., (TSXV:AZ.V), a pioneer in military robotics and innovation in the automotive industry, recently reported  filing  an additional technology patent as it continues the development of the Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System (FTICS), and is aiming for installations to commence in 2020 to help save lives in the event of fires from vehicle collisions.


The FTICS is a patented 3-part system that deploys in the event of a vehicle collision. On collision, the FTICS releases a proprietary chemical mixture into the gas tank, neutralizing the contents rendering them inert and non-flammable. The gas tank is also isolated to ensure none of the contents leak. The final component of the FTICS system forces all the oxygen out of the gas tank to further limit the possibility of fire.

The FTICS requires no additional sensors as it is triggered by the same sensors that trigger the deployment of the vehicle's airbag.

An in-depth video on how the FTICS works can be found here: Click Here

Mr. Bentsur Joseph, CEO of A2Z, highlights, "A2Z is a tier-one approved supplier to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Our certifications and qualifications are second to none, and it is hard to describe just how excited we are about bringing this technology to mass markets. We look forward to bridging this last safety frontier and helping keep passengers and first responders safer in the event of life threatening vehicle collisions. We hope to save many lives and bring our shareholders healthy profits in the process. The FTICS is good for the world, the environment, and for our shareholders as well."

According to the NFPA, for the five year period from 2014 to 2018, an estimated 864,000 highway vehicle fires occurred in the United States that resulted in 1925 civilian deaths and ~US$6.45B in property damage. The Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System (FTICS) takes technology developed for military vehicles and looks to solve the problem of collision-related vehicle fires for non-military markets.

About A2Z
A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. is an innovative technology company based out of Israel, specializing in military technology and expanding into the civilian markets. A2Z has been operating for over 30 years and has a client base with 75 recurring clients, including the Israel Defense Forces, Security Forces, and Ministry of Defence among others.

Association for Safer Driving in Israel Encourages Israel to Mandate A2Z's FTICS to Save Lives on the Road


VANCOUVER, BC (Investorideas.com Newswire, Homelanddefensestocks.com) A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") ( TSXV:AZ.V) recently reported  that their proprietary, patent pending Fuel Tank Intelligent Containment System (FTICS) received coverage on Israel's nationwide news network and a strong endorsement from the Or Yarok Association for Safer Driving in Israel, encouraging the appropriate bodies to mandate the system to save lives from fires caused by automobile collisions.


The televised segment, featured on Kan 11, highlighted Israel's 3,000 vehicle fires annually and showcased a detailed explanation of how the FTICS technology works. It included footage of some of A2Z's other products and was shot on-location at A2Z's lab in Israel.

Oz Dror, VP of Strategy and Communications of the Or Yarok Association stated, "At an accident every second is critical. This large number, eight vehicles a day, means that the state has to demand that new vehicles entering the market must install these systems, as this will prevent loss of lives."

The online version of the broadcast subtitles can be found here: YouTube (Hebrew with English Subtitles)

Bentsur Joseph, CEO of A2Z Technologies, noted: "We are thrilled to be featured in Kan's primetime broadcast and understand how important this public validation is for our technologies as they move closer to market. Kan 11 is like the BBC of Israel and the value of such a media platform to tell our story cannot be underestimated. We welcome the media and public interest in our lifesaving technologies, and we are delighted to have been profiled."

The FTICS is a patented system that deploys in the event of a vehicle collision releasing a proprietary chemical mixture into the gas tank, neutralizing the contents rendering them inert and non-flammable. The FTICS requires no additional sensors as it is triggered by the same sensors that trigger the deployment of the vehicle's airbag and can be retrofitted or installed in any fuel tank.

On the scale of the opportunity in Israel Bentsur Joseph commented: "While the FTICS will be available for retrofit for any fuel tank, having our system become mandatory represents an astounding opportunity for our Company which we will aggressively pursue. In addition to the 3.5M civilian vehicles currently registered on the road, in 2018 over 250,000 new vehicles entered the market in Israel. We believe some of our long-standing customers can certainly benefit from adopting this recommendation, and we look forward to bringing this life saving technology to civilians across Israel as a stepping-stone to additional markets."
