Enova Systems, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: ENA) (AIM: ENV) (AIM: ENVS), a production company in the emerging alternative energy industry and a leading developer of proprietary electric, hybrid and fuel cell digital power management systems, confirmed today that an all-electric drive train technology was featured in Smith Electric Vehicles’ Newton commercial trucks that were delivered to several Fortune 500 companies at a ceremony on the National Mall near the U.S. Capitol. Representatives from Smith Electric Vehicles U.S. handed over the keys to newly-built Newton trucks to fleet managers from AT&T, Staples, Frito Lay, Coca-Cola, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Kansas City Power and Light. The Smith Newtons are powered by Enova’s 120kW all-electric induction motors, motor controls, inverters and on-board charging systems.

Enova Systems continues to fulfill orders from Smith Electric Vehicles for both the UK and US initiatives, with various shipments scheduled throughout 2009 and into 2010. In June, Management representatives from Tanfield Corporation, parent company to Smith Electric Vehicles, were on site at Enova to discuss expanded cooperation, volume ramp up scenarios, and collaboration on possible DOE Electrification and Recovery/Stimulus projects.

Mike Staran, CEO of Enova Systems commented, “As was reinforced by Tanfield and Smith Executive Management, they are committed to providing a realistic and efficient all electric vehicle to the largest and most recognized fleets in the world. The event in Washington yesterday only underscores this determination. We look forward to a long and mutually profitable relationship with this visionary company.”

Bryan Hansel, CEO of Smith Electric Vehicles U.S. stated that, “Enova Systems and their all-electric drive system are an important element of our technology strategy as we build and deliver commercial vehicles to fleet operators worldwide. ”
