Worksport
Confirms Government Evaluation of Aetherlux™ Heat Pump for Potential Long-Term Supply Deal; Certification Accelerated
Company
confirms structured evaluation underway as engineering progress accelerates path to AHRI, ENERGY STAR® certification and 2H 2026
revenue.
West
Seneca, New York, February 12, 2026 – Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based
technology and manufacturing company focused on clean energy solutions and automotive accessories for consumer and reseller channels,
today provided an operational update on its energy subsidiary, Terravis Energy, as it advances the Aetherlux™ Pro heat pump ZeroFrost™
anti-frosting technology toward third-party validation, certification, and early commercialization.
Management
believes Zerofrost represents a materially undervalued intellectual property asset within Worksport’s overall corporate footprint
and a meaningful driver of exponential long-term enterprise value that is not currently reflected in the Company’s market valuation.
The global heat-pump market is expected to exceed $150 Billion by 2030; Growing third-party validation efforts and government-level
interest underscore Zerofrost’s potential to reshape performance standards within the cold-climate heat-pump market.
Accelerating
Momentum Across Government, Certification, and Commercialization
Government
Evaluation Underway
| ● | Worksport
confirmed that a large government entity is actively monitoring upcoming laboratory
performance results as part of an internal evaluation process. While no procurement decisions
have been made, management expects validated test data to accelerate discussions related
to potential deployment and large-scale supply arrangements across various regions. |
Certification
Timeline Moves Ahead of Schedule
| ● | Based
on recent engineering progress and manufacturing coordination, the Aetherlux heat pump with
ZeroFrost technology is now expected to enter formal certification processes ahead
of prior expectations. Targeted certifications (within 2026) include AHRI performance standards,
ENERGY STAR® qualification, and other leading industry requirements necessary for broad
North American deployment. |
Clear
Line of Sight to Revenue
| ● | Following
completion of certification and early commercial deployments, the Company expects Aetherlux
to become a revenue-generating product in the second half of 2026, marking a transition
from development to commercial execution. In-bound dealer interest remains strong. |
Manufacturing
Transition to Validation Phase
| ● | Manufacturing
prototypes are scheduled to arrive in February 2026 and will be delivered shortly thereafter
to testing partners. During the first half of 2026, the technology is expected to undergo
structured performance and reliability evaluation at two government-affiliated laboratories,
supporting certification and commercial readiness. |
Commercial
Organization Build-Out
| ● | Terravis
Energy’s inbound sales funnel continues to grow. To support market entry and long-term
growth, Terravis plans to further formalize its sales organization and expects to
begin onboarding senior commercial leadership, including a Senior Vice President of Sales,
as certification milestones approach. |
