Worksport Highlights Strong Reception Of Terravis Energy’s AetherLux Product Reveal, And Shares Additional Testing Data

West Seneca, New York, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport”), a U.S. based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, is pleased to provide an update on its subsidiary, Terravis Energy, Inc. (“TVE” or the “Company”). TVE proudly announces a strong positive reception from the recent unveiling of its AetherLux™ heat pump system with incorporation of its Zerofrost™ technology.

Strong Global Commercial Interest

Following this global reveal, the Company’s ZeroFrost technology has attracted strong interest from top global manufacturers, recognizing its breakthrough potential in the heat pump industry. Discussions are actively underway with major industry players exploring its integration into next-generation heat pump systems. Additionally, engagements have commenced with vendors, distributors, and firms interested in the AetherLux Heat Pump Products, both with and without ZeroFrost technology.

As the Company advances toward certifications for non-Pro units and commercialization of Pro units (which include the preoperatory ZeroFrost technology), this validation marks a major milestone in redefining heat pump efficiency for extreme environments.

Next Steps

• Non-Pro Units without ZeroFrost technology: TVE plans to complete certification for its AetherLux non-Pro units within 2025, paving the way for initial orders.
  
  
• Pro Units with ZeroFrost technology: The Company is actively exploring expedited commercialization of AetherLux Pro units, engaging in discussion with key potential partners mentioned above.
  

A groundbreaking advancement in extreme climate heat pump performance And supported by real-world testing, precise measurement data, and overwhelming industry interest, ZeroFrost has demonstrated the ability to provide continuous heating without defrost cycles—even in extreme sub-zero conditions. The product is believed to be a clear breakthrough in the existing technology of vast global market.

Test Results & Key Performance Metrics

The Company wishes to share additional insights on its data validation, utilizing state-of-the-art testing equipment. A recent 121-minute in-house test of ZeroFrost technology revealed the following:

• Zero Defrost Cycles – Unlike conventional heat pumps that pause operation for defrosting, ZeroFrost ran continuously for over two hours in extreme cold without interruptions, maintaining peak efficiency.
  
  
• Unmatched Cold-Weather Performance – With a measured minimum ambient temperature of -56.9°F (-49.4°C), the system extracted heat in conditions where conventional heat pumps fail or are forced to enter defrost mode.
  
  
• Reliable Heat Output – The system delivered a minimum temperature output of 85.9°F (29.9°C) and an average sustained output of 96.5°F (35.8°C), ensuring stable indoor comfort even in extreme cold outdoor temperatures.
  
  
• Stable System Pressure & Flow – The system achieved operating pressures up to 616.9 psi and airflow velocities of 5.74 m/s, demonstrating exceptional heat transfer efficiency.
