World Moto, Inc.: World's First Moto-Meter Set to Begin Manufacturing

BANGKOK, THAILAND–(Marketwire – Jan 14, 2013) – World Moto, Inc. (OTCBB: FARE) (OTCQB: FARE) (BERLIN: WM7) (BERLIN: A1J8SY) (“World Moto” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is proceeding to initial manufacture of the Moto-Meter. 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, the world’s first motorcycle taxi meter.

The current design of the Moto-Meter represents over 3 years in post prototype development and includes modifications and enhancements that were suggested during its successful street trials. The most significant change to the Moto-Meter from the device used in the trials is the addition of a dot matrix LED display in place of a segmented display. The enhanced display can render substantially more characters in multiple languages, as well as limited graphics. Upgraded high speed wireless and Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities are also included.

The initial manufacturing stage will encompass successful implementation of the automated test facilities that are critical for guaranteeing reliable field operation. Upon satisfactory completion of initial limited production, World Moto will expand the lines and proceed to full commercial manufacture.

World Moto CEO Paul Giles stated, “This critical stage of commercialization is a milestone that will mark the beginning of the end of haggled motorcycle taxi fares. It is an event that all of us at World Moto have made great efforts to make possible, and we look forward to our continuing opportunity to help change the way the world goes around.”
