Azure Dyn Share Discussion Threads

This from investors chronicle on line. (Today)


It's amazing what stories smaller company managers can come up with to get their stock noticed. For instance, Cam Deacon, chief executive of Canadian hybrid vehicle technology company Azure Dynamics, is touting the prime minister's asthma as a bull point.

The theory goes like this. There were 36 smog alert days in Toronto last year, and on such days, asthmatics like Canada's new prime minister Stephen Harper have to stay indoors (the government is based in Ottawa, not Toronto, but never mind...). Mr Deacon hopes that Mr Harper will push green technology to reduce the pollution that causes such asthma curfews.

Luckily this does not form part of Azure's business plan, which instead focuses, rather bizarrely for a Canadian company, on being American. Azure has qualified for 'buy America' status which means any US company buying its energy efficient vehicles qualifies for an 80 per cent grant towards the cost.

Even more surprising is that fact that those legendary gas-guzzlers south of the border are more switched on to renewable energy than their supposedly tree-hugging neighbours. Some 198 US cities have signed up to the Kyoto Protocol, even though the Federal government hasn't, and are actively pursuing cleaner air policies.

Isn't this like loony left councils in the UK declaring themselves 'nuclear free'? Not according to Mr Deacon, who points to the hybrid vehicles Azure already has on the road. Some are pure electric vehicles, with technology that recharges the batteries through 'regenerative braking' during use, and some are larger electric-combustion engine hybrids.

It's also pushing hard into markets where vehicles make predominantly short, stop-start journeys, such as mail delivery, taxis and airport services. The US military is taking an interest too. Fighting vehicles these days are packed with electrical gizmos that need power, and the Army likes the idea of not having to cart fuel for its vehicles around war zones.

The shop window is impressive, then. But 2006 is a key year. Will anybody order anything in large volumes? If they do, momentum will build quickly. A 20 per cent rise in Azure's share price since the start of the month suggests investors have faith, with or without the 'asthma angle.'

That overhang may be cleared now as on-line offer at only 1,000 shares with MM's desperate for stock. Looks like a strong move up now on the horizon is imminent.
