Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ), a global leader in light and vision control technologies, joined by Research Frontiers (NASDAQ:REFR), today announced the first customer delivery of General Motors' Cadillac CELESTIQ, their first fully electric vehicle sedan featuring patented SPD (Suspended Particle Device) smart glass technology supplied by Gauzy. As part of Gauzy's ongoing production program with GM and longstanding involvement in bringing SPD technology to market, this milestone marks the first customer delivery of the CELESTIQ with serially produced electronically dimmable SPD smart glass. This milestone underscores Gauzy's continued leadership in advanced smart materials for the automotive sector and its broad collaboration with Research Frontiers to supply the highest-performing smart glass technology in serial production.

The CELESTIQ's roof features the industry's largest piece of dimmable smart glass ever used in a production vehicle, segmented into four independently controlled zones, allowing each occupant to tailor the tint level above them, enabled by SPD. Powered by Gauzy's dynamic SPD technology, the glass switches in seconds to block up to 99.5% of visible light, 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, and 95% of infrared (IR) radiation, which can help reduce HVAC energy consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional fixed-tint glass. These performance benefits also help to increase the effective driving range of electric vehicles.
