AYRO Now Registered on Transport Canada Appendix G Pre-clearance Program as a Foreign Manufacturer of New Low-Speed Vehicles

Move is expected to make it easier for importers to import AYRO's low-speed electric vehicles ("LSEVs") into Canada

ROUND ROCK, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 21, 2023 / AYRO, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYRO) ("AYRO" or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric, purpose-built delivery vehicles and solutions for micro distribution, micromobility and last-mile delivery, announces that the Company is now registered on Transport Canada's Appendix G Pre-clearance Program as a foreign manufacturer of new Canadian specification low-speed vehicles.

As a result, it is now easier for Canadian commercial importers to import new Canadian-compliant AYRO vehicles into Canada. The first of these vehicles, the AYRO Vanish LSEV (the "Vanish"), entered into low-rate initial production earlier this year after completing all applicable homologation requirements in the United States and Canada, as well as passing California Air Resources Board confirmatory testing.

"This approval paves the way for Canadian dealerships to more easily import the Vanish," said Kyle Mazanti, vice president of business development. "AYRO already has begun shipping U.S. orders for the Vanish, our utility LSEV with adaptable bed configurations that meet myriad needs for fleet, commercial and personal use."

Earlier this year, Masters Golf and Utility Vehicles, a regional dealer and fleet solutions provider located in Ontario, Canada, became one of the first channel partners to order the Vanish.

"We believe sustainable e-delivery solutions should empower companies to extend their brand's reach, in campus mobility, last-mile delivery, and micro distribution," said Tom Wittenschlaeger, CEO of AYRO. "Transport Canada's approval allows us to further our reach and expand low-speed electric fleet usage throughout North America."

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any expected future results, performance, or achievements. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "intend," "expect," "may," "plan," "will," "would" and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and include the development and launch of the AYRO Vanish. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: AYRO's success depends on its ability to complete the development of and successfully introduce new products; AYRO may experience delays in the development and introduction of new products; the ability of AYRO's suppliers to deliver parts and assemble vehicles; the ability of the purchaser to terminate or reduce purchase orders; AYRO has a history of losses and has never been profitable, and AYRO expects to incur additional losses in the future and may never be profitable; AYRO may be unable to replace lost manufacturing capacity on a timely and cost-effective basis, which could adversely impact its operations and ability to meet delivery timelines; the market for AYRO's products is developing and may not develop as expected and AYRO, accordingly, may never meet its targeted production and sales goals; AYRO's limited operating history makes evaluating its business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of any investment in its securities; AYRO may experience lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of its vehicles; developments in alternative technologies or improvements in the internal combustion engine may have a materially adverse effect on the demand for AYRO's electric vehicles; the markets in which AYRO operates are highly competitive, and AYRO may not be successful in competing in these industries; AYRO may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm AYRO's financial condition and liquidity if AYRO is not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims; increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials, in particular lithium-ion cells, chipsets and displays, could harm AYRO's business; AYRO may be required to raise additional capital to fund its operations, and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute AYRO stockholders' ownership interests, and AYRO's long term capital requirements are subject to numerous risks; AYRO may fail to comply with evolving environmental and safety laws and regulations; and AYRO is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair AYRO's ability to compete in international market due to licensing requirements and subject AYRO to liability if AYRO is not in compliance with applicable laws. A discussion of these and other factors with respect to AYRO is set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and AYRO disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
