Echo Automotive Initiates North American Pre-Sales With EchoDrive Premiere
Limited Run Incentive Program Now Available for EchoDrive Plug-In Hybrid System

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2013) -  Echo Automotive, Inc. (OTCQB: ECAU) ("Echo Automotive," "Echo" or the "Company") a developer of technologies enabling the cost-effective aftermarket addition of fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid capability to new and existing vehicles, today announced the launch of North American pre-sales and the Company's EchoDrive™ Premiere incentive program.

Fleets looking to increase fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and decrease operating costs by adding plug-in hybrid capability to new or existing Ford E-Series vehicles can now reserve EchoDrive for delivery starting in mid-2014. Production of 1,000 units will be allocated to the EchoDrive Premiere program, which includes an extended warranty for each unit, first rights to additional production, and installation and services incentives based upon the number of units purchased. EchoDrive Premiere is a limited run program and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. The Company is also accepting reservations for its beta program, which is scheduled for rollout in the first quarter of 2014. Pre-orders from beta participants reserve a priority position in the production delivery schedule. Fleets based in North America can reserve their beta assignments and/or EchoDrive systems now by contacting Echo Automotive at sales@echoautomotive.com or calling 855-ECHO-AUTO.

"The feedback we have received at industry-leading events such as NTEA, the Green Fleet Conference and HTUF has been exceedingly positive and validates our bolt-on aftermarket approach to delivering plug-in hybrid capability, fuel efficiency and cost-savings for fleets," said Jason Plotke, Echo Automotive Chairman and President. "We are excited to open pre-sales and expect to have the EchoDrive Premiere program fully subscribed by year end. We encourage fleet operators to act soon to secure their units and accelerate their time to cost-savings and emissions reductions."

EchoDrive is a bolt-on aftermarket system that quickly and easily adds plug-in hybrid capability to new or existing fleet vehicles, increases fuel-efficiency up to 50% and decreases emissions up to 30% -- all without affecting the OEM powertrain or ICE operating capabilities. The Company's beta program is scheduled to launch in early 2014 with EchoDrive first-run production to follow later in the year. Support for additional makes and models will be available in subsequent EchoDrive production runs.
