environmental and performance values for customers
- The all-electric, zero-emission Transit Connect Electric has a
targeted range of up to 130km (80 miles) per full charge, and is ideal

Electric order to date and continues a pattern of large customer

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 light and medium duty
commercial vehicles, announced today that its Norwegian Ford
dealership, RøhneSelmer, has signed an order for an additional 100
Transit Connect Electric vans. RøhneSelmer's original order, in March
of this year, was for 58 units for various clients, among them Norway
Post, known in Norway as "Posten Norge AS".

"We've worked exclusively with Ford for more than fifty years and
know that with Azure Dynamics' technology, the Transit Connect
Electric will meet the environmental requirements and tough weather
conditions of the Norwegian market," said Anders Gadsboll, Sales
Director of RhoneSelmer. "We sold 50 Transit Connect Electric vans
before the first unit was delivered to us and we're confident we'll
sell many, many more the remainder of this year and beyond. It's the
right product for today's Norwegian market."

Azure and Ford Motor Company brought the Transit Connect Electric
to the European market this year at a time when increasing numbers of
fleet operators in the U.S. and Europe are demanding the benefits of
efficient, clean alternative power for their vehicles. With 28 kWh of
power to call on, Transit Connect Electric has a top speed of 120
km/h (75 mph) and a range of up to 130 km (80 miles) on a full
charge.

"Norway has a large customer base with a good understanding of
and appreciation for electric vehicles, which RøhneSelmer obviously
recognizes," said Ricardo Espinosa, Managing Director of European
Operations for Azure Dynamics. "The Transit Connect Electric can play
an important role in the Norwegian market and help to achieve
Norway's aggressive environmental goals."

The Transit Connect Electric offers Norwegian customers the
opportunity to eliminate petroleum fuel bills, take advantage of
car-pool lanes and to lower overall maintenance and operating costs.
The vehicle is an ideal choice for battery electric power thanks to
its unique combination of car-like driving dynamics, generous cargo
capacity, easy accessibility and low operating costs. Transit Connect
Electric can be recharged using standard European 220-volt outlets in
approximately eight hours.

"Transit Connect Electric is operating on a global stage and this
early repeat order from RøhneSelmer is further validation of the
value it brings to customers like Norway Post and others with shorter
delivery routes and frequent stop and go driving conditions," said
Scott Harrison, Azure's CEO. "We're delighted that RøhneSelmer has
given us this additional vote of confidence and we're confident that
the Transit Connect Electric will more than live up to their
expectations."

The Transit Connect Electric went into production in Europe in
June this year following its successful production launch in North
America in April, 2011.
