I am most impressed for the in depth research by you on this particular stock. So much so that I will be reaching for the cheque book shortly to place my bets on ADC. LOL's

Seriously though, I have had my eye on this one for months but it looks like an overhang from the recent placing?

[the great white] 16/1/2006 21:58

getting ready for lift off.

[the great white] 15/1/2006 12:06

going to take off monday.

[the great white] 13/1/2006 16:32

HELLO,HELLO what's happening ready for blast off.counting

[sheeneqa] 12/1/2006 11:21

Aye to that thg/bm....ADCs day will surely come, but for the moment profits to be had elsewhere on AIM.......

[the great white] 12/1/2006 08:26

Don't forget this technology is the future.

[amorruso] 12/1/2006 08:16

Clearly an overhang here...due to the fundraising perhaps? Strange that this doesn't move up further. Good post above fngers.

Cheers,

Amo

Big new tax breaks for hybrid cars
Starting next year, buying a fuel-efficient vehicle will help keep IRS at bay.
December 22, 2005: 1:15 PM EST
By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNNMoney.com staff


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - If you just bought a brand new fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle, sorry but you should have waited.

Starting Jan. 1, 2006, buyers of some hybrid vehicles can get a hefty tax credit. But the credits vary a lot and some very fuel-efficient vehicles still get no credits at all.

In some cases, though, the credits are large enough to almost entirely make up the additional cost of the hybrid vehicle as compared to a non-hybrid. That means any money you save on gas will actually go directly into your pocket.

Previously, some hybrid vehicle purchases have been eligible for tax deductions. The new credits, however, are subtracted directly from the money you owe the IRS. That makes these credits much more valuable than deductions.

Even though the new tax law covers diesels as well as hybrids, no diesel vehicles will get tax credits in spite of the fact that some get extremely high gas mileage, according to an analysis by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.

The Internal Revenue Service has not officially said, yet, what the tax credits will be, but the ACEEE based its figures on what is currently known about 2006 vehicles and the wording of the law.

The amount of the credit for each vehicle is based on three factors:

First, how large is the vehicle? The amount of the credit is based on the vehicle's fuel economy as compared to a similar 2002 model-year vehicle. To get any credits at all, a vehicle must get at least 25 percent better fuel economy than a similar 2002 vehicle.

A vehicle could also get a smaller credit if it is estimated to save at least 1,200 gallons of fuel over its lifetime.

Vehicles also must meet certain emissions standards to qualify for a tax credit. Regardless of their fuel economy, no diesel vehicles currently meet the emissions requirement for a tax credit.

Private sector companies and public agencies launch Electric Mobility Canada and adopt an Action Plan that will help Canada meet its Kyoto objectives
12/14/05

SAINT-JEROME, QC and TORONTO, Dec. 14, 2005 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
In the context of Canadian efforts to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) and of the Montreal International Conference on Climate Change, a national workshop was recently held in Vancouver to create a Network to support the development of electric mobility in Canada. This workshop, which was organized by the Centre for Experimentation in Electric Vehicles - Quebec (CEVEQ) and The Centre for Sustainable Transportation (CST), located in Toronto and Winnipeg, benefited from the support of many partners including the Government of Canada (Departments of Industry, Natural Resources and Environment), Bombardier Transportation, TM4, Agence métropolitaine de transport - Montréal (AMT), the City of Saint-Jérôme, the Ministry of Transport - Québec, Canadian Auto Workers, the Canadian Urban Transit Association etc.

The workshop participants, who represented all regions of Canada, adopted an Action Plan aimed at creating a Canadian Network of all stakeholders with an interest in electric mobility for the purpose of promoting, accelerating and implementing electric mobility in Canada's diverse transportation system. The development of the Network will be steered by an implementation committee which includes representatives from the private and pubic sectors. The committee membership includes representatives of Bombardier Transportation, Toyota Canada, Hydro-Québec, BC Hydro, CST, Industry Canada, Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, CEVEQ, Azure Dynamics, Unicell, Ministry of Transportation of Manitoba, Vancouver's TransLink and others. The start up activities for Electric Mobility Canada, including projects, will be managed by CEVEQ, located in Saint-Jérôme, QC

Electric traction - a priority choice

"We're on the brink of a major revolution in how we move people and freight. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has served us well for 100 years, but may not last for another 50 because of its emissions and dependence on non-renewable fossil fuel", noted Al Cormier, President of The Centre for Sustainable Transportation and a partner with CEVEQ in organizing the Vancouver workshop.

Oil is becoming scarcer and more costly and ICE emissions - particularly of greenhouse gases - are more threatening than ever before. Many measures are required to curb the impacts of ICE's and to meet mobility requirements for people and goods. The measures include further improvements to ICE's, shifts to public transport, better freight logistics, and many others. A key part of the solution could be more electric mobility. "Electric vehicles - powered by batteries or fuel cells or through direct connections to an electric grid - are a serious but so far underused alternative that can keep us moving without a major disruption," remarked Pierre Lavallée, Director General of CEVEQ. "It may be time to start serious planning for a future in which electric transport becomes the norm."

Already automobiles, buses and trucks are sporting electric drives in addition to their ICEs. These hybrid vehicles use much less fuel than comparable ICE-only vehicles, during stop and start driving because electric motors are much more efficient when speeds are low, and because electric drives can convert some of the momentum lost during braking into useful energy.

Canada needs to make strategic decisions in meeting its GHG reduction

obligations

Responsible for over 25 per cent of GHG emissions in Canada, the transportation sector should be an important target for Federal and Provincial Governments in meeting Canada's Kyoto Protocol obligations, especially since GHG emissions from transportation have increased substantially in the past 20 years.

According to Mr. Cormier, "Canada is uniquely positioned to lead the transport revolution to electric vehicles. We are unusually dependent on good transport, and have among the world's most sophisticated transport industries, both manufacturing and services. We generate more of our electricity from renewable resources than almost any other country. Regional mismatches in supply and demand could be overcome through a national grid that would bind Canadians as rail did in the 19th century (and may be beginning to take shape with the recent decision to link the Manitoba and Ontario grids more tightly). The 30 per cent of our supply that is not from renewable sources could be replaced and expanded through massive investment in wind, solar, tidal, hydro, geothermal, and other renewable production. As the cost of conventional generation of electricity increases, these renewable sources become more attractive."

Much of the technology needed for a significant migration to electric transport is in place. Innovations continue to be introduced, and more will flow from continuing research and development. In the short term, wider use of electric vehicles (subways, light rail transit, hybrid and electric buses, hybrid automobiles and light trucks, etc.) will mean big steps towards meeting present and future obligations to curb climate change. In the long term, electric vehicles may provide the only way in which Canadians can continue to benefit from the comfort, convenience, and productivity that effective transport provides.

Electric Mobility Canada

The Electric Mobility Canada Network will bring together all stakeholders in electric mobility including representatives from governments, universities, manufactures of vehicles and their components, energy suppliers and end users. "An important activity sector, specialized in electric and hybrid vehicles, batteries, hybrid technologies and energy suppliers is being launched to promote electric mobility in Canada," said Mr. Lavallée of CEVEQ. An effective network will stimulate this sector and will provide an important support to government agencies responsible for meeting Canada's obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

Azure Dynamics showcases first hybrid electric CitiBus

VANCOUVER, Dec. 9 /CNW/ - Azure Dynamics Corporation (TSX - AZD &
LSE - ADC) ("Azure Dynamics" or the "Company") a leading developer of hybrid
electric and electric powertrains for commercial and military vehicles is
pleased to announce the unveiling of its first hybrid electric CitiBus.
Azure's CitiBus was introduced yesterday at the Electric Drive
Transportation Association ("EDTA") annual conference being held this year in
Vancouver, British Columbia. B.C. Environment Minister Barry Penner attended
the unveiling of Azure's CitiBus.
"It's great to see Azure's innovative research and development efforts
become a reality. The Azure CitiBus helps our environment by significantly
reducing emissions while substantially improving fuel efficiency," Penner
said. "It also fills me with a sense of pride to know that this technology was
developed here in British Columbia."
Azure announced the launch of its shuttle bus program on July 21, 2005
with the sale of five hybrid electric, 20-passenger shuttle buses to The Bronx
Overall Economic Development Corporation ("BOEDC"). Azure's hybrid electric
CitiBus will employ the same chassis and hybrid electric drive system
currently used in delivery vans supplied to other Azure customers such as
Purolator Courier Ltd. The hybrid chassis is fitted with a conventional
shuttle bus body.


Photos of the hybrid electric CitiBus and visit from Minister Penner will
be available on the Company's website at:

yes, boring I know, but we are up another 2p in the UK today. Into the 70's next week, just in time for the Expo to be held in Vancouver between December 6-8 2005.



Floor plan (Azure is 222): -

[howdlep] 23/11/2005 21:08

Up yet again, as is AZD in Canada. So another blue day tomorrow.

[howdlep] 22/11/2005 08:15

Looks like we are set for another run into the 70's, following a succesful recovery of the share price in Canada over the last few trading successions. What's more, it doesn't take much volume to move it very quickly

[howdlep] 09/11/2005 17:16

No surprises in the Q3 results: -

[fromtheblue] 04/11/2005 11:03

I am waiting for the results before re-entering this stock as there seems to have been a dip on each release.

Interesting read on the Bullboard link re howdlep above.



I especially like the Video on the London Taxi in New York

[howdlep] 04/11/2005 09:46

Oh and the Canadian listing was up 8.7% last night. Something not factored in here: -
