Enova Solidifies Market Leadership at Three Major Upcoming Trade Events

Enova Systems, Inc. (NYSE AMEX:ENA) (AIM:ENV) (AIM:ENVS), a leading innovator of proprietary hybrid and electric drive systems propelling the alternative energy industry, today announced that it will be participating and presenting in three major trade events over the next few months:

• The 2010 Electric Drive Transportation Association Conference (EDTA), hosted in Washington, DC on January 26 – 28, 2010.
• The CleanEquity Monaco 2010 Conference, held March 4 – 5, 2010, at the Le Sporting d'Hiver, Place du Casino in the Principality of Monaco.
• The National Truck Equipment Association “Work Truck Show” and Green Truck Summit Conference at America’s Center in St. Louis, MO, on March 9-12, 2010.

For the first of these events, Enova will be joining a prestigious panel of speakers at the 2010 EDTA Conference. Co-located with the Washington, DC Auto Show, this year’s Conference will focus on the next generation of zero-emission transportation.

“The conference provides us the ideal platform to build awareness for Enova’s all-electric and hybrid electric drive system technologies for use in medium and heavy-duty applications,” said John Mullins, Enova’s Chief Operating Officer. “While helping propel the conversation about low and zero emission commercial transportation, we’ll also be solidifying our position as a technology leader in this market.” Enova will be joining a panel of industry experts on Wednesday, January 27, as they address the advantages and recent breakthroughs in deploying zero-emission drive system technology in commercial trucks.

The Washington, DC location for this year’s EDTA Conference reflects the current Administration’s push to deploy more green fleets in the months and years ahead. Among those attending the Conference are a number of prominent legislators and representatives from government agencies that have been tasked with reducing their carbon footprints and reducing U.S. dependence on imported oil.

Following the EDTA Conference, Enova will present at the CleanEquity Monaco 2010 Conference, held March 4 – 5, 2010 at the Le Sporting d'Hiver, Place du Casino in the Principality of Monaco. CleanEquity Monaco assists emerging clean technology companies like Enova in accelerating the commercialization of their technologies, by connecting them to key players from the investment, political, industry and media communities. At this year’s Conference, sector experts will lead a range of breakout sessions to explore key industry themes, drivers and constraints, as well as forward-looking trends.

Participating in one of these sessions, Enova Systems Chief Executive Officer Mike Staran and Chief Financial Officer Jarett Fenton will discuss Enova’s technology, products, growing customer base and expanding market opportunity, as well as the competitive landscape.

Staran commented: "The current rate of growth in the alternative energy industry makes this an ideal time for us to drive broad visibility to potential stakeholders." Parties interested in scheduling a meeting with Enova at this conference are urged to contact Jarett Fenton at [phone] ext. 103 or Allen & Caron Inc., Enova’s agency for investor relations and corporate communications at [phone].

On the heels of the CleanEquity Monaco 2010 Conference, Enova will also participate in the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) “Work Truck Show” and Green Truck Summit Conference — a major industry event for commercial vehicle OEMs, national fleet operators, and vehicle equipment manufacturers that comprise Enova’s core customer base.

Hosted at America’s Center in St. Louis, MO on March 9 - 12, 2010, this trade event will prominently feature Enova’s all-electric drive train technology for commercial vehicles at a number of venues. Throughout the event, Enova will actively support Freightliner Customer Chassis Corporation (a division of Daimler Trucks North America), who is partnering with Enova to develop and integrate all-electric walk-in van chassis targeted at the parcel delivery and urban route delivery fleet market.

“Our partner FCCC is taking a leading role in reducing harmful emissions and fleet operating costs now and in the years ahead,” explained Staran. “Enova is pleased to enter this partnership and support FCCC.”

Also participating in the Conference is key Enova customer Smith Electric Vehicles US, which will feature Enova’s 120 kW all-electric drive train and on-board charging technology in their Smith Newton commercial delivery trucks.

Conference attendees will also have the opportunity to experience the outstanding performance, zero emissions and quiet ride offered by the Enova Ze, the company’s all-electric walk-in van designed and developed by Enova’s Vehicle Integration Team. As part of the NTEA alternative fuel ride-and-drive program, attendees will be able to drive the Ze on a 2-mile route outside the America’s Center.

Said Staran, “Having the Enova Ze at the NTEA Ride-and-Drive allows us to demonstrate the many advantages of this clean vehicle technology.”
