Dear Friends of Azure,

Greetings from the Chicago Auto Show where Azure representatives are on-hand for the introduction of the Transit Connect Electric. As you may have read in the press release just sent, Azure and Ford Motor Company have partnered to create an electric version of Transit Connect, the 2010 North American Truck of the Year. The Transit Connect Electric with Azure's patented Force(TM) Drive technology utilizing a Johnson Controls-Saft (JC-S) supplied lithium ion battery has an 80 mile range and produces zero tailpipe emissions. The companies will unveil the product this week with a series of industry and media events, including:

-February 9th, 'Green Dinner': Held at the Museum of Science and Industry, Azure CEO Scott Harrison and Ford's Derrick Kuzak, Group Vice President, Global Product Development will present the Transit Connect Electric to the automotive and environmental media attending. This will be the vehicle's first public appearance.

-February 10th, Press Conference: Held at the Ford display inside the Chicago Auto Show, the Transit Connect Electric will be officially introduced with Scott Harrison participating in the unveiling.

-February 11th, Media Ride and Drives: Outside the convention center, Azure and Ford will offer Transit Connect Electric test drives to select media in attendance.

Azure received the contract to supply power to the Transit Connect Electric in late September 2009. Our Force Drive(TM) technology has over 40 different vehicle integrations and 25 million miles of on-the-road experience to its credit. Azure was able to leverage this experience to make the Transit Connect Electric a reality.

We are excited to deepen our relationship with Ford and JC-S and look forward to introducing our latest product offering to the commercial vehicle market.

Sincerely,

AZD
