Worksport Presents New Premium "Game Changer" Tonneau Cover Model to Industry Buyers at Keystone BIG Show; Initiates Pre-Orders Ahead of Near-Term Commercial Launch

New Model Presented to North America's leading automotive aftermarket distributor targets major expansion of U.S. dealer network and early revenue pipeline.

Text size:

WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2026 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based innovator and manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions primarily for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods markets, today announced the development of a new, highly anticipated tonneau cover model. The Company presented the unreleased cover in advance this past Saturday at the Keystone BIG Show, successfully securing early buyer interest and initiating pre-orders ahead of its official near-term launch with multiple buyers referring to the new model as "a game changer" in the market.

"We brought something special to Keystone," said Steven Rossi, Chief Executive Officer of Worksport. "We believe this may become the best and leading tonneau cover in the market for professionals. It is being designed with installer demand, dealer economics, and large-scale distribution in mind. We are executing on all fronts to bring this to our growing dealer network and look forward to accumulating initial sales orders immediately ahead of the official launch expected early Q2."

Strategic Debut at the Keystone BIG Show

Rather than a traditional press announcement, Worksport chose to debut this new model directly to the buyers who drive industry volume. Keystone Automotive Operations is widely recognized as the leading distributor and marketer of aftermarket automotive equipment and accessories in North America. With a legacy spanning decade, Keystone operates eight massive, dedicated distribution centers and a transport fleet that serves thousands of auto enthusiasts, dealerships, and professional installers across the USA and Canada, offering national product distribution to thousands of automotive speciality stores. Showcasing at the Keystone BIG Show places Worksport's new product directly in front of a captive audience of high-volume purchasing decision-makers.

The New Cover: Built for the Professional Market

The newly developed cover is engineered to complement Worksport's rapidly growing lineup, which includes the AL3, AL4, and HD3 models. While official product specifications, naming, and media assets will be released closer to the commercial launch, the new model is purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of the professional and commercial truck market.

Pre-Orders and Near-Term Launch

Following the overwhelmingly positive reception at the BIG Show, Worksport is currently developing its pre-order pipeline to accumulate initial sales ahead of the official launch. The cover is expected to enter production and become commercially available in the near term.

This product expansion represents a key pillar in Worksport's 2026 growth strategy to aggressively expand its U.S. Dealer Network. It also builds upon the Company's recent execution milestones, including the successful market launch of its proprietary COR™ Portable Energy System and SOLIS™ Solar Tonneau Cover.

Investor Reminder: Upcoming Earnings Call & Webcast Registration

Investors, analysts, and members of the media are invited to register in advance for Worksport's live earnings webcast. During the call, participants will gain insights into the Company's operational progress, product development roadmap, updated financial outlook, and strategy for advancing toward cash-flow positive operations.

Genesis GV60 Magma before launch

The new Genesis GV60 Magma is a model that means much more to the brand than just another particularly powerful version of an existing electric car. The car represents a strategic change of direction. Genesis no longer wants to define itself solely through design, material quality and quiet luxury, but also through its own credible form of high performance. That's exactly why the GV60 Magma is so important: it's not just any sporty derivative, but the first production vehicle in the new Magma world – and thus concrete proof that an idea is now becoming a real product.The timing is well chosen. The regular GV60 has recently undergone noticeable technical and visual enhancements, the brand has visibly sharpened its electric expertise, and at the same time, pressure is growing in the premium segment to more closely link performance, digitalisation and brand character. Many manufacturers today can build fast-accelerating electric cars. The real question is no longer just how much power a vehicle offers, but how this power is staged, dosed and translated into a credible overall picture. This is precisely where Genesis is trying to make its mark with the GV60 Magma.Even at first glance, it is clear that the Magma is not just a cosmetically enhanced GV60. The car appears wider, lower and significantly more taut. The proportions seem more compact, the body sits more solidly on the road, and the add-on parts are not merely decorative, but designed for downforce, cooling and high-speed stability. The front end, side skirts, rear spoiler and air ducts visibly follow a functional logic. Added to this are forged 21-inch wheels, wide tyres and an overall appearance that focuses less on striking aggression and more on controlled presence. This is precisely one of the most interesting features of this vehicle: Genesis is attempting to define sportiness not through visual exaggeration, but through excitement, attitude and technical credibility.The GV60 Magma also goes a clear step beyond the previous GV60 range in terms of drive technology. Two electric motors and all-wheel drive form the technical basis. A very high level of performance is already available as standard, and in boost mode, the system performance increases significantly once again. Genesis is thus positioning the Magma at the top of its electrified model range. Added to this is a top speed that stands out in this class, as well as a 0-200 km/h time that clearly shows that this is not just the usual electric sprint from a standing start, but real performance beyond the first few metres. This is an important difference: many electric cars feel spectacular at first, but lose their punch as speed increases. The GV60 Magma is designed to close this gap.It is noteworthy that Genesis does not present the car as an uncompromising race track machine despite its performance orientation. Instead, the focus is on a synthesis of power, control and premium comfort. The battery is generously sized at 84 kWh, the fast-charging capability remains high, and the official range also shows that the vehicle does not sacrifice everyday usability for mere effect. The GV60 Magma therefore aims not only to impress, but also to remain usable. This is crucial for its future market role.A model like this has to meet two expectations at the same time: it should be emotionally charged, but at the same time not seem exhausting in everyday use. It is precisely this balancing act that Genesis has made its core message.A look beneath the surface shows that the Magma is not just a show car exercise. The chassis, geometry and roll centre have been specifically revised, and electronic damper systems, special control strategies and a braking system tuned to the increased performance level have been added. Equally important is the temperature control of the battery system. Anyone who takes high-performance electric cars seriously knows that raw peak values alone mean little if thermal management, reproducibility and stability cannot keep up. Genesis addresses precisely these points with its own high-performance battery management system. This is an indication that the GV60 Magma is not only designed for spectacular acceleration manoeuvres, but also for repeatable performance under load.The interior is particularly interesting because it encapsulates the actual philosophy of the vehicle. Genesis does not compromise on luxury – on the contrary. High-quality surfaces, a deliberately calm interior, special seats, exclusive material combinations and the brand's characteristic attention to detail remain intact. At the same time, a new, more performance-oriented operating logic has been introduced. A special Magma mode changes the instrument display, bringing important driving data to the fore, while the head-up display focuses more on driving-related information. Added to this are virtual gear changes, specific soundscapes, launch control, drift function and various driving programmes designed to noticeably change the character of the vehicle. This is interesting from both a technological and cultural perspective, because Genesis is bringing two worlds together here: the classic premium idea of calm and sovereignty on the one hand, and the digitally supported performance experience that has been reinvented in the electric age on the other.It is precisely this combination that is likely to distinguish the GV60 Magma from other high-performance electric cars on the market. While some competitors focus on maximum toughness, aggressive communication and the most spectacular driving dynamics possible, Genesis is clearly opting for a more refined interpretation. The driver should feel fast, but not overwhelmed. The car should make its reserves felt without constantly proclaiming how serious it is about them. This approach is anything but insignificant. It could become the actual identity of the model – and, in the long term, the calling card of an entire Magma family.The development programme also shows how seriously Genesis takes this claim. The GV60 Magma was not left in the protected space of a design study, but was put through a broad-based test programme. Winter testing, heat, high altitude, real roads, racetracks and fine-tuning in the home market – all this is part of the preparation. Added to this is the early public demonstration of the concept car in Goodwood, where the Magma gained attention as a serious performance project even before series production began. This is important for the brand's image. Genesis presents high performance not as an afterthought, but as something that has been systematically developed.What the GV60 Magma heralds for the coming years is also exciting. The Magma idea is bigger than this one car. Genesis sees it as a long-term programme and a testing ground for future performance models. The GV60 is a logical starting point for this: it is compact enough for agility, modern enough for a consistently digital interpretation of performance, and emotional enough to bring new substance to the brand. In this sense, the GV60 Magma is a production vehicle – and at the same time a manifesto. It shows how Genesis wants to see its future: electric, fast, luxurious and technically independent.

Speed cameras: Brazen rip-off or necessary?

Germany is once again engaged in increasingly heated debate on an issue that has long since become much more than a mere traffic matter: have speed cameras actually become a convenient source of revenue for cash-strapped towns and municipalities, or are they a necessary means of protecting lives on Germany's roads? The outrage felt by many motorists is not without reason. When you see local authorities raking in millions from speeding and red light violations while at the same time complaining about austerity measures, deficits and budget shortfalls, you quickly get the impression that this is not just about monitoring, but above all about collecting money. It is precisely this suspicion that has further fuelled the debate in recent months.In fact, the sums speak for themselves. In a recent evaluation of major German cities, numerous local authorities once again generated millions in revenue from traffic monitoring. It is particularly striking that it is not just a few outliers reporting high amounts, but that a permanently lucrative level of revenue has become established in many cities. This is politically sensitive because, although fines are justified on regulatory grounds, many citizens perceive them as a fixed component of municipal financial planning. Mistrust grows even stronger in cities that like to refer to safety but at the same time do not make a clear distinction between prevention and revenue generation.Hamburg in particular is a prime example of this tension. The figures currently available there show the scale that traffic monitoring has now reached. In 2024 alone, stationary and mobile speed monitoring generated almost £47 million in revenue. By far the largest share came from mobile controls, while stationary systems generated significantly less, but still tens of millions. In addition, there was revenue from stationary red light monitoring. Even in the following year, the city remained at a very high level: speeding offences alone again generated more than 40 million euros. Anyone who reads such figures immediately understands why the term ‘rip-off’ is no longer a polemical exaggeration for many people, but a perceived finding.There is a second point that exacerbates the criticism: in many cities, these revenues are not earmarked for improving road safety, but rather flow into the general budget. This is not surprising from a legal perspective, but it is politically explosive. Anyone who expects money from speed cameras to be automatically invested in safe routes to school, intersection renovations, better lighting, cycle paths or accident prevention is often mistaken. This creates a fatal image for citizens: the local authority measures, collects and records – but whether the revenue is visibly returned to dangerous traffic spots often remains unclear. Where transparency is lacking, suspicion grows that a legitimate safety instrument has gradually become a fiscal business model.The situation becomes particularly explosive when the financial side effect is no longer just tacitly accepted, but openly discussed in consolidation debates. A current case from Halle an der Saale illustrates this problem precisely. There, the budget consolidation concept is to include additional revenue from traffic monitoring. Last year, the revenue there was already in the millions, and now further amounts are to be added. At the same time, it is officially emphasised that the primary objective remains traffic safety. It is precisely this double message that is at the heart of the problem: as soon as a city promises more safety on the one hand, but openly expects higher revenues on the other, every new measuring system becomes politically explosive.
