World Moto Preparing Verification Build on Moto-Meter(TM)

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 27, 2014) - World Moto, Inc. (OTCBB: FARE) (OTCQB: FARE) (BERLIN: WM7) (BERLIN: A1J8SY) ("World Moto" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is preparing to commission the verification build for its flagship product, the Moto-Meter(TM). Changing the way the world goes around, World Moto is a global authority on the $500 billion dollar a year motorcycle taxi industry and inventor of the Moto-Meter(TM), Wheelies(TM), and Yes(TM).

The verification build, or v-build, is the first automated assembly process of a production electronic device. The build usually encompasses between a few dozen to as many as 100 units. The goal of the v-build is to establish a reliable factory process that can be used to produce thousands of units with high yield and repeatable, high quality. Where mature assembly processes may experience production yields of 99% or more and at rates exceeding many thousands of units per day, the v-build typically results in only a few units per day as assembly line matters are sorted out, components are inspected, operators are trained, and testing procedures are refined.

Entry into the v-build process marks the transition from development to production, and additional engineering time generally shifts from product modifications to the continued development and refining of tooling and test fixtures necessary to guarantee the high quality required for mass manufacture. Over the coming weeks, the Company will work closely with its manufacturing partner, DMC Corp (154) Co., Ltd., to complete the verification build and slowly ramp up production and distribution to qualified customers. The first units available from the v-build will be sold directly to motorcycle taxi fleet operators who have expressed a strong interest in working with the Company to authenticate the rugged design and suitability of purpose for which the Moto-Meter(TM) was constructed.

Chief Technology Officer Chris Ziomkowski stated, "The whole team is very excited to be moving into this phase. We have spent more than a year refining the original design, including adding a substantially upgraded display and dramatically enhancing its ability to withstand pounding rain, sandblasting road dust and swarming insect impacts at high speed. We also redesigned the electronics to meet all applicable regulatory requirements in most localities around the world and completely overhauled the external sensor design so that it can fit on many different classes of vehicles. The upgrades have given us a product that has dramatically exceeded the expectations we had at the beginning. It is truly a world class device ready to make an impact on the world."

CEO Paul Giles stated, "It will be very satisfying to see the first Moto-Meters(TM) come off the assembly line. Their presence in the streets is the trigger that will finally spark the Company's exponential growth."
