Azure Dynamics establishes new head office in Oak Park, Michigan

OAK PARK, Michigan, Sept. 19 -- 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 has established its new corporate headquarters in Oak Park, Michigan, in the greater Detroit area.

"We are pleased to have found a facility in a strategic location that meets all of our ongoing business development and production needs," said Scott Harrison, Azure's Chief Executive Officer. "As we continue to advance our commercialization activities, and with the scope of our opportunity in working with Ford Motor Company and other automotive industry leaders, it is important for us to be in close proximity to these key players."

"Azure's decision to locate its headquarters here attests to Michigan's leadership in the alternative fuel industry," Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm said. "We look forward to partnering with Azure as the company grows and creates high-tech jobs and diversifies our 21st century economy."

With the establishment of its head office in Oak Park, Michigan, the State of Michigan has granted Azure a tax credit valued at more than US 1.7 million over the next seven years. The city of Oak Park has also proposed an 11-year local tax abatement worth an estimated US$55,400.

"Both the State of Michigan and the city of Oak Park have demonstrated strong support for our move and we look forward to growing our business from our new headquarters," added Mr. Harrison.

Azure does not expect that there will be any material changes to employee counts at its other facilities. The Company will maintain its electric drive solutions business unit and facility in Boston, Mass., and the bulk of its hybrid and hybrid-electric systems engineering and technology development team will remain at its facility in Vancouver, B.C. The Company will also maintain a service facility in Mississauga, Ontario to support major customers in the Toronto area.
