Dear Friends of Azure

Transit Connect Electric was officially launched in front of hundreds of media gathered at a standing-room-only press conference held this morning at the Chicago Auto Show. Watch the video replay of the press conference on demand here: http://cot.ag/byyTFv।

Before introducing Azure CEO Scott Harrison, Derrick Kuzak, Ford Group Vice President Global Product Development, said, "To bring Transit Connect Electric to market so quickly, we teamed up with one of the best in the business, Azure Dynamics।"

Sharing the stage with Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas, and Jim Farley, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mr। Harrison discussed the performance characteristics of the vehicle while photographers snapped images of the AZD branded prototype that had driven on stage moments earlier. The AZD logo was prominently displayed three places on the Ford Transit Connect Electric and Azure's "Force Drive(TM)" was the first thing seen under the hood.

Within hours of the reveal electronic articles began appearing on outlets like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Popular Mechanics, CNBC News, MSN, not to mention automotive, environmental and investor websites and blogs. Additional information on Transit Connect Electric and the press conference can be found on Ford's home page: http://www.ford.com/.

Thanks for riding along on this exciting day in furthering Azure's mission in 'driving a world of difference'. As always we appreciate your support.

Sincerely,
AZD
