View Additional ProfilesJINHUA, CHINA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/08/08 -- Kandi Technologies, Corp. (NASDAQ: KNDI), one of China's leading designers, manufacturers and exporters of all terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility vehicles (UTVs) and go-karts, which recently launched in the U.S. its new COCO super mini car, announced today that it will soon introduce to the world market a new 800CC CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) multi-purpose utility vehicle (UTV), that combines superior off road performance and large load capacity, with Kandi's trademark, distinctive smart design.

Aimed at meeting what it sees as continuing strong demand for bigger horsepower, larger load capacity vehicles in the worldwide agricultural and livestock markets, the new two-seater KD-800GKD equipped with CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission), sports a 2 wheel drive - 4 wheel drive switch, shaft drive transmission, an electric powered automatic high capacity unloading rear compartment, 4 wheel hydraulic brakes and front and rear independent suspension to provide passengers with a new degree of comfort and stability.

The high-powered KD-800GKD follows on the heels of Kandi's introduction this summer of the KD-150GKD UTV, which the Company reports is receiving an excellent reception in the U.S.

Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Kandi's Chairman and CEO, commented "We are continuing to diversify and strengthen our vehicle lineup to meet market demands in a varying economic environment, and believe that our latest top of the line UTV will be an exciting new entry in the fast growing agricultural sector worldwide. We believe our 'TT' three wheeler motorcycle introduced in August is tapping consumer enthusiasm for low cost, high mileage vehicles, joining our fuel efficient, beautifully designed super mini COCO also introduced over the summer." He added, "We are not stopping here, and are moving ahead with plans to introduce new vehicles as market demand and production capacity permit. This includes a new, electric powered COCO super mini, which has recently been shipped selectively to some of our dealers in the U.S."

Mr. Hu stated further "Given the excellent response to our COCO super mini car, I am pleased to say we are currently engaged in negotiations with Chinese sources that are interested in providing additional funding which will enable us to ramp up our COCO auto production to meet the demand in the U.S. If and when these discussions translate to an agreement, we will of course provide further details to shareholders."
