Leading academic and practitioner Sanjeev Khagram, Dean of a #1 ranked global business school and chaired Professor of Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship, has joined the growing list of investors in addvantage Global Ltd, developer of the addvantage fuel and emission reduction system for heavy-duty trucks.

Welcoming Dr Sanjeev Khagram as an investor in addvantage Global Ltd, CEO Daniel Mitchell, commented: “To have attracted such an important figure in global management, and an expert in sustainability and start-ups to invest in addvantage is a great endorsement of the technology, the business model and our success in securing subject-to-contract trials with major hauliers”.

Daniel continues: “As Dean of a #1 ranked global business school and serial investor, Sanjeev is inundated with offers to invest in start-ups, particularly in the sustainability space. We’re thrilled he has chosen to invest in addvantage. Sanjeev has been an advisor to addvantage Global for some time and has seen first-hand how we have moved from early start-up to the brink of significant revenues”.

Commenting on his undisclosed six-figure investment, and his relationship with addvantage Global, Dr. Khagram explains “In addition to the compelling economics and return profile, what attracts me to addvantage is that it is a technology for today, not tomorrow. Widespread availability and adoption of hydrogen and electric-powered heavy-duty trucks are still a long way off. The fact that the addvantage system can deliver such significant fuel and emissions reductions with a simple retrofit to existing trucks is good news for users, the planet and for investors”.
