What management said
Sure. Yes. I do feel more optimistic. I mean the truck trial is going really well. So discussions and negotiations continue for the next phase of this, which is a higher volume. The initial truck trial, I think, was around 200 trucks. But moving on to larger volumes and commercializing this is the discussion that's ongoing right now.
We do see beachheads opening up in India and Brazil. There's already trucks in Peru and Chile. India and Brazil are 2 massive markets. And we're seeing strong interest in those markets to move to alternative fuel. So we're very excited about that opportunity coming to us.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns about the timeline for the second OEM trial and potential impacts on future revenue. There were also questions regarding the sustainability of gross margins in the high-pressure controls business as production ramps up in China.
