EnviroInvest Investment Fund Launches to Capture Australia’s Environmental Investment Opportunity

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EnviroInvest has launched the EnviroInvest Investment Fund, providing investors with access to Australia’s rapidly expanding environmental investment landscape, as global capital continues to shift toward energy transition and decarbonisation.

The launch follows record levels of investment into the sector, with global energy transition capital reaching approximately US$2.3 trillion in 2025, reflecting a structural reallocation of capital rather than a cyclical trend.

Founded by Chris Batchelor and Elio D’Amato, the Fund provides diversified exposure to assets supporting the transition to a lower carbon economy, including renewable energy infrastructure, energy storage, environmental markets and natural capital.

Co-founder Elio D’Amato said the opportunity is widely recognised, but often difficult for investors to access in a structured way.

“The environmental transition is no longer a thematic allocation. It is a structural shift in how capital is being deployed globally,” Mr D’Amato said.

“Despite this, many investors remain underexposed, not due to lack of interest, but due to lack of access to diversified and investable opportunities. This Fund is designed to address that gap.”

Co-founder Chris Batchelor said Australia is uniquely positioned to benefit from this shift.

“Australia combines world class renewable resources, strong institutional frameworks and proximity to key export markets in Asia,” Mr Batchelor said.

“As ageing energy infrastructure is replaced and electrification accelerates, a sustained pipeline of investment opportunities is emerging across multiple sectors.”

EnviroInvest’s investment approach is informed by its research into the sector, including its report, Australia’s Environmental Investment Outlook, which outlines the structural drivers underpinning long term growth across environmental assets.

EnviroInvest believes environmental assets will become an increasingly important component of long term portfolio construction, offering both return potential and risk diversification.

For investors, the shift represents a significant economic opportunity, one that the EnviroInvest Investment Fund is specifically structured to capture.

Mesabi Metallics Company LLC, an Essar Group company, is constructing a state-of-the-art mine to support a seven million ton per year beneficiation plant and a seven million ton per year pellet plant to produce premium Direct Reduction grade pellets on over 16,000 acres in Nashwauk, Minnesota.
Mesabi Metallics Company LLC, an Essar Group company, is constructing a state-of-the-art mine to support a seven million ton per year beneficiation plant and a seven million ton per year pellet plant to produce premium Direct Reduction grade pellets on over 16,000 acres in Nashwauk, Minnesota.

Located on more than 16,000 acres in northern Minnesota, Mesabi Metallics is completing a $2.5 billion world-scale merchant Direct Reduction (DR) grade iron ore mine and pellet plant that will onshore a strategically important segment of the U.S. steel supply chain.

With over 750 construction workers currently onsite, the project represents one of the largest private-sector industrial investments in the state’s history. Essar Group has already invested over $2 billion of equity into the project. The project has also received support from the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM), underscoring growing federal recognition of the project’s strategic importance to U.S. manufacturing and supply chain security for the American manufacturing, automobile, infrastructure, shipbuilding and defense sectors.

“The partnership with Breakwall is an important milestone for Mesabi Metallics,” said Joe Broking, President and CEO of Mesabi Metallics. “We are bringing to market a brand-new American source of the highest quality DR-grade iron ore that will help U.S. steelmakers reduce reliance on imported raw materials and international supply chains. America is already the global leader in the next generation Electric Arc Furnace-based steelmaking — the cleanest and most energy efficient way of making steel. Mesabi Metallics will create hundreds of high-quality jobs in northern Minnesota for several decades to come and will support the reshoring of American industrial dominance.”

“Mesabi Metallics is a great example of the type of high-quality company and large-scale mining project we seek to partner on — anchored by a long-life resource in an advanced stage of development, with strategic importance to critical industrial development. We look forward to building upon this partnership with Mesabi Metallics and supporting them in their journey,” said Daniel Flannery, President and Managing Partner of Breakwall. “This deal further demonstrates the breadth of our partnership with Vitol, combining credit solutions with global resource marketing acumen, to deliver a multitude of solutions for top tier companies like Mesabi Metallics and world class operators like the Essar Group,” added Jamie Brodsky, Co-CEO and Managing Partner of Breakwall.

Applied Intuition launches first mobile operations center for autonomous systems: Applied Edge

Company unveils field-deployable, persistent autonomy development and operations platform.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Applied Intuition, Inc., the leading physical AI company, today launched the first mobile operations center purpose-built for developing, testing and operating autonomous systems. Applied Edge packages rugged compute, satellite and radio communications, and the Axion autonomy toolchain into a field-deployable node, enabling teams to build, iterate and operate at mission speed without standing up new infrastructure.

“Applied Intuition is collapsing the distance between the lab and the mission,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “Today, every team building advanced autonomous systems hits the same wall: the exercise ends, the racks go dark and the telemetry sits in the field while the clock resets in the office. The cycle of standing up and tearing down autonomy stacks between events is over. The teams that move at mission speed will define the future of autonomous systems, and Edge is how they get there.”

Deploy where the mission is. Pick up where you left off.

Defense autonomy is moving fast, but the infrastructure behind it has not kept up. Government test ranges — designed for hardware, not software — add months of scheduling overhead and offer no persistent DevSecOps environments. The gap between autonomy needs and infrastructure has never been wider.

As autonomy programs move from one-off demonstrations to repeated field operations, teams need software-defined infrastructure that stays warm between events. The same pressure exists in defense and in heavy industry: mining, construction and other environments where machines must be developed and validated where they work, not only in the lab.

Axion Sim and Mission Control run natively on Edge so teams can plan missions, replay logs, evaluate behavior, coordinate multi-asset operations and stream live telemetry, all from a single platform deployed wherever the mission demands.

Key capabilities include:

  • Show up, power on and get to work: Edge node arrives self-sufficient with power, HVAC, rugged compute servers, 5G/Starlink communications, and operator workstations ready on arrival with no build-out required.
  • No resets or rework: Data, models, and workflows persist between test events. Teams pick up where they left off with no lost context and no wasted setup days.
  • Build, test and iterate at the edge: Axion tooling provides a complete development environment at the test site.
  • Secure, compliant environments: Edge supports SCIF/SAPF configurations and enables classified programs to operate from Edge without requiring fixed facilities.

Edge is available now. For more information, visit applied.co.

The TRATON GROUP and Applied Intuition Announce TRATON ONE OS, a Unified Software Platform for Improved Fleet Uptime Across TRATON’s Four Global Brands

MUNICH and SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The TRATON GROUP and Applied Intuition, Inc., the leading physical AI company, today announced TRATON ONE OS, a next-generation software-defined vehicle platform that will power all new vehicles across TRATON’s four brands: Scania, MAN, International and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. Building on more than a year of co-development, the two companies are deploying a single unified platform that’s at the forefront of innovation to deliver benefits to customers:

  • Prevent costly downtime: The system’s unified data access is designed to enable predictive maintenance capabilities that allow fleet operators to identify and address potential mechanical issues before they lead to breakdowns, service recalls or unplanned downtime.
  • Future-proof fleets: Customers will be able to receive new applications, features and full-cabin user-interface upgrades via over-the-air software updates, eliminating many workshop visits and allowing vehicles to improve throughout their operational life.
  • Unlock the autonomous future: The platform’s adaptive middleware is designed to serve as a foundation for autonomous driving systems, enabling TRATON to layer autonomous capabilities onto the same architecture over time.

Designed to bring the speed, flexibility and continuous update cycles of modern software development to the commercial vehicle industry, TRATON ONE OS will operate on all high-performance computers (HPCs) in TRATON’s new vehicle architecture. The platform supports multiple hardware chipsets and global regulatory environments while giving TRATON teams a common foundation to build on — all without compromising each brand’s distinct customer experience. Testing of the first integrated ECU hardware will begin in April 2026, with rollout across new trucks targeted for 2028.

“Our collaboration with Applied Intuition brings together TRATON’s deep expertise in commercial vehicles, including strength in modularization and in-house application-function software development, with Applied Intuition’s leading software capabilities,” said Stefan Teuchert, Senior Vice President EE Platform at TRATON GROUP. “With TRATON ONE OS, we combine strong building blocks from Applied Intuition, TRATON and the open source community to create a worldwide cutting-edge EE platform, delivering fast new functions and services to the customer, while still preserving what makes each of our brands unique.”

The platform is being co-developed as a white-box modular architecture that combines TRATON’s internal development with Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS for trucking, as well as trusted third-party and open-source components. This modular approach allows TRATON to replace or consolidate compute units over time without fragmenting the software stack or rewriting the platform or applications, supporting the company’s long-term ambition to move toward fewer, more powerful high-performance computers.

“Working closely with TRATON, we’re building the next generation of software-defined commercial vehicles,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “TRATON ONE OS creates a platform that allows trucks to continuously evolve through software updates while giving TRATON the flexibility to build and scale capabilities across its global brands.”
