Attention Business Editors:
Azure Dynamics signs new agreements with eight Ford dealerships

    OAK PARK, MI, Oct. 29 /CNW/ - Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX: AZD, LSE:
ADC & OTCQX: AZDDF) - ("Azure" or the "Company"), a leading developer of
hybrid electric and electric powertrains for commercial vehicles, announced
today it has signed Sales & Service agreements with eight additional Ford
dealerships to represent Azure's innovative Balance(TM) Hybrid Electric
commercial truck. This brings the total number of dealerships to fourteen
since the enrollment program began in June. The new dealerships are:

    -   Badger Truck Center, Milwaukee, WI;
    -   Boyer Ford Trucks, Minneapolis, MN;
    -   Grande Ford, San Antonio, TX;
    -   Northside Truck and Equipment, Portland, OR;
    -   Sherway Ford, Toronto, ON;
    -   Sopp Ford, Los Angeles, CA;
    -   Tuttle Click Ford, Irvine, CA;
    -   Minuteman Trucks Inc., Walpole, MA.
   
    "These new partners are all highly regarded and influential commercial
truck retailers in the major metro markets they serve," said Jay Sandler,
Azure Dynamics' Vice President of Sales. "We're thrilled to have them on
board."
    The new dealership agreements are the result of Azure's effort to enlist
approximately 50 dealers in major markets in the U.S. and Canada to broaden
Azure's distribution network for its Balance(TM) Hybrid Electric. The
dealerships will maintain inventory of ready-to-deliver Cube Vans and Walk-in
Vans equipped with Azure's hybrid electric powertrains.
    Tim Blide, General Manager at Boyer Trucks, commented on the partnership
with Azure, "Boyer Ford is very enthusiastic about carrying the Azure hybrid
vehicle line. Our partnership with Azure puts us at the forefront of
alternative fuel vehicle options providing our customers with advanced
technology to help them lower their cost structure while also contributing to
a cleaner, greener environment. We think the product will do very well in the
markets we serve."
    The Balance(TM) Hybrid Electric system is integrated on Ford's E450
Cutaway and Strip Chassis drive system and utilizes a conventional 5.4 liter
Triton gasoline engine and 5-speed automatic TorqShift transmission. The
hybrid powertrain features electric-launch up to 20 mph, and engine-off at
idle, while electronically supporting key ancillary functions like air
conditioning, power steering and braking. The powertrain can improve fuel
economy by up to 40%, while reducing carbon emissions up to 30% in city
conditions.
