Infinitum Electric Receives Investment from Caterpillar Venture Capital Inc.

Infinitum Electric, creator of the breakthrough air-core motor, today announced it has received an equity investment from Caterpillar Venture Capital Inc., the venture capital arm of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives, through Cottonwood Technology Fund. The proceeds will be used to further expand production of Infinitum Electric's IEs Series motor systems for industrial applications and for the development of a new line of smaller, lighter, quieter and more efficient alternators. Infinitum Electric alternators are expected to be one third the size and weight of traditional alternators: targeting the growing $17 Billion annual alternator market.

With most of today's machines relying on rudimentary iron core motors that consume more than half the world's electricity, Infinitum Electric is focused on powering a new generation of machines with unparalleled efficiency and durability. Infinitum Electric's reinvented air-core motors use lightweight materials and modular design to generate the same power in half the size and weight, at a fraction of the carbon footprint and noise created by conventional motors.

Infinitum Electric's motor design replaces the copper wire and laminated iron core found in conventional motors with a printed circuit board stator, making the motor smaller, lighter and more efficient. Their integrated motor and variable frequency drive (VFD) also maximizes usability and reduces energy consumption by addressing the entire lifecycle of the motor ? from its materials, to how it's produced, transported, assembled, used and maintained. Fewer raw materials reduce the amount of emissions required to build a motor, while off-the-shelf components allow the motor to be made anywhere in the world at any time reducing supply chain issues. Modular architecture enables simple assembly on-site, reducing shipping and logistics costs. This pioneering approach to motors provides increased energy savings, while also improving reliability, productivity and making electrical equipment smaller, lighter and quieter.

Infinitum Electric currently serves commercial HVAC, industrial, and automotive suppliers developing new products with environmental sustainability, efficiency and serviceability in mind.

"Caterpillar Venture Capital's investment acknowledges the opportunity presented by ultra-high- efficiency motors in a reduced-carbon future. We're excited about the opportunity Infinitum Electric's technology offers and the potential positive impacts to lowering emissions, reducing waste and improving efficiency," said Michael Young, Vice President of Caterpillar Venture Capital Inc.

"It's extremely validating when one of the world's leading manufacturers acknowledges the role that lighter, quieter, high-efficiency motors can play in the energy transition," said Ben Schuler, founder and CEO of Infinitum Electric. "Cottonwood Technology Fund has been an excellent partner to Infinitum Electric in aligning us with investors that share our vision for a sustainable future while fueling our growth strategy."
