OAKPARK, MI, April 15 -- Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX: AZD & LSE: ADC) ("Azure" or the "Company"), a leading developer of hybrid electric and electric powertrains for commercial vehicles, today announced that it began listing on the International OTCQX under the symbol AZDDF.

"With our recent headquarters move to the United States and our growing U.S. customer base, we believe it is important to be represented on a US-based trading platform where American investors can readily access us," said Azure Dynamics Chief Executive Officer Scott T. Harrison. "We are experiencing significant growth of new customers, particularly in the U.S., and have commenced production of our hybrid electric delivery vans and shuttle buses. Listing our shares on the OTCQX will expose Azure Dynamics to many new investors who are focused on the clean energy field and excited about the opportunities and the value proposition we have to present."

U.S. investment bank, Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. , will serve as Azure's Investment Bank Principal American Liaison ("PAL") on the International OTCQX, responsible for providing guidance on Azure's International OTCQX-listing requirements and arranging a comprehensive suite of U.S. capital markets services.

Investors can find real-time quotes, disclosure and financial information about Azure Dynamics at www.otcqx.com. The Company's existing listings on the TSX and AIM are unaffected.
