This forecast largely reflects the expected decrease in volumes of SCR tanks and is further compounded by an unfavorable outlook across all product lines: the cancellation, postponement or significantly delayed commencement of several programs related to the production of electric vehicles. There is a lesser impact from the discontinuation of some fluid and mechanism programs for vehicles with internal combustion engines as well as hydrogen engines.</p> <table style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-collapse: collapse; width:459pt; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="width:612px;;text-align: left ;  vertical-align: middle; vertical-align: top ; "><em>An independent family business, trading on Euronext Paris, AKWEL is a parts and systems manufacturer for the automotive and heavy-vehicle industry, and a specialist in fluid management, mechanisms and structural parts for electric vehicles.
