FY 2024 was a landmark year for PYIP, marked by significant advancements in the development and protection of the group’s IP portfolio. A key highlight was the successful launch of the Freedom 4X, an all-wheel-drive Mercedes Sprinter motorhome featuring a revolutionary gas-free habitation system.
IP Development and Management
PYIP undertook initiatives in IP development and management:
• Trademarks and Branding: PYIP successfully obtained trademarks for both 'PROJECT YONDER' and the Project Yonder logo. This enhances brand recognition and value, allowing for better protection of the Company's identity in the marketplace.
Notable Achievements
During the year, PYIP achieved substantial milestones:
• Development of the Freedom 4X: The Freedom 4X is distinguished by its unique marine cork flooring, which offers durability and eco-friendliness, and the state-of-the-art Garmin control system that provides seamless control over various vehicle functions. A standout feature of the Freedom 4X is its innovative gas-free off-grid system, which empowers users to experience true freedom without limitations. This system allows for self-sufficient living, enabling adventures in remote locations without the need for traditional fuel sources.
• Furthermore, the development of 3D CAD designs enable us to build the Freedom 4X consistently and efficiently, ensuring high-quality production and ease of replication. This proprietary design capability not only solidifies our competitive advantage but also underscores our commitment to innovation in the luxury motorhome sector.
