VALENCIA, Spain, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Turbo Energy, S.A. (NASDAQ:TURB) (“Turbo Energy” or the “Company”), a global provider of leading-edge, AI-optimized solar energy storage technologies and solutions, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the Mercantile Court of Madrid in the Kingdom of Spain against Sigenergy International S.L. in an action for the cessation and rectification of illegal advertising relating to its baseless claim that its product marketed as SigenStor is the “world’s first highly integrated 5-in-1 energy storage system.”

On June 12, 2023, China-based Sigenergy announced that it was “set to astound the world with its all-scenario energy solution, featuring the world’s first highly integrated 5-in-1 energy storage system,” at the EES Europe industry conference which was held in Munich, Germany that same week. Over the next year, Sigenergy followed with the implementation of a multi-channel promotional campaign, routinely broadcasting its claim to be the “world’s first…” on YouTube, its social media sites, its website and website blog and at industry trade show and conferences.

By way of the lawsuit, Turbo Energy is alleging that Sigenergy’s promotional statements were blatantly false and misleading, particularly in light of the fact that Turbo Energy has been marketing its patented SUNBOX EV product, a highly integrated, all-in-one energy storage system, since its announced launch on April 22, 2022 and its official debut at the InterSolar Europe industry event held in Europe on May 11-13, 2022 – more than one year ahead of the introduction of SigenStor.

Mariano Soria, Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Energy, stated, “While it is our belief that Turbo Energy’s SUNBOX EV may indeed be the world’s first all-in-one energy storage innovation, we know for a fact that Sigenergy’s competing product, SigenStor, is not.  Therefore, we have filed this lawsuit with the objective of compelling Sigenergy to set the record straight by first acknowledging that the promotional statements they have made were unlawful and misleading, by publishing formal corrections in the press and on their website and by agreeing to refrain from continuing its unlawful advertising practices in the future.”

Continuing, Soria said, “Turbo Energy is a global company defined, guided and inspired by our pioneering spirit, technological innovation and deeply embedded core values. Further, we recognize that we have chosen to pursue leadership in one of the fastest growing sectors of the sustainable energy industry – solar energy storage solutions -- which has attracted a wide range of competitors to the space. Turbo Energy actually welcomes competitive pressure, because it serves to challenge us to be that much better and to reach further, faster.  What we don’t appreciate – and will not stand for -- are competitors who elect to use deceptive advertising practices to misinform and mislead the customers we are all out there competing to win.”
