Azure Dynamics Opens European Headquarters in North London Ahead of its June Transit Connect Electric Production Launch

Oak Park, Michigan (ots/PRNewswire) - Azure Dynamics
Corporation ("Azure" or the "Company"), a world leader in the
development and production of hybrid electric and electric components
and powertrain systems for commercial vehicles, announced today that
it has opened its new European headquarters office in North London to
support its sales and marketing efforts for the new all-electric Ford
Transit Connect, which is scheduled for European production in June,
2011.

"Since its introduction in 2002, the Ford Transit Connect has had
phenomenal sales success in cities across Europe and we're eager to
launch its all-electric counterpart, Transit Connect Electric," said
Scott Harrison, CEO of Azure Dynamics. "Since receiving the first 14
Transit Connect Electric vehicles in Europe this past December, we
are very encouraged by the initial reaction and interest from both
European public and private commercial fleet operators. Many of our
potential customers have experience with the conventional gas vehicle
and are now eager to enjoy the operational and environmental benefits
of our pure-electric ForceDriveTM powertrain."

Transit Connect Electric offers a unique combination of driving
dynamics, cargo capacity, accessibility and low costs of operation.
It can achieve a range of 80 - 130 kilometers (50 - 80 miles)
depending on auxiliary power usage and drive cycle, and has a top
speed of 125 kph (75 mph). The lithium ion battery is rechargeable in
approximately six hours using a 230-volt outlet.

Azure's new European facility will be responsible for all
European operations including engineering and program coordination,
manufacturing activities, sales and marketing and service support.
The North London facility, located in Arlington Business Park in
Stevenage, has a 4,800 square foot office space, and a workshop area
that can accommodate Azure vehicles along with key diagnostic
equipment for vehicles and electric powertrain components. The East
of England Development Agency (EEDA) helped Azure Dynamics Ltd locate
the facility.

Azure has selected a European-based manufacturer to upfit the
Transit Connect Electric and expects to announce the partnership upon
the completion of the terms. Azure has been developing electric
powertrains for more than 20 years. Its innovative ForceDriveTM
technology has over 40 different vehicle integrations to its credit
and more than 35 million miles of real-world experience.

In addition to the acclaimed Transit Connect Electric, Azure also
manufactures the BalanceTM Hybrid Electric delivery truck and shuttle
bus. The BalanceTM Hybrid Electric offers up to 40% fuel economy
improvement while reducing emissions by up to 30%.
