Auto-Q International Inc. Receives Additional FleetTrak Order from Pepsi Cola Subsidiary for $126,000
LONDON, January 7 -- Auto-Q Has Received $256,000 in Purchase Orders in the Last 12 Months from Walkers, a UK Subsidiary of Pepsi Cola
Auto-Q International Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AUTQ), a leading provider of vehicle tracking and monitoring systems for trucking fleets and consumers, announced today that it has received another purchase order from Walkers (Snacks) Distribution Ltd., a UK subsidiary of Pepsi Cola, for $126,000 for the installation of its FleetTrak System with PDA mobile telephone facility on 24 Walkers' vehicles.
This current purchase order of $126,000 is in addition to the $42,000 the company just received to complete the remaining balance of the $130,000 original purchase order that Auto Q received this past year. This order represents $256,000 in purchase orders that Auto Q International has received from Walkers (Snacks) Distribution Ltd.
Walkers (Snacks) Distribution Ltd, a UK subsidiary of Pepsi Cola Corporation in the US, has a large trucking fleet to distribute its snack foods products. Walkers has asked Auto-Q to install in-cab mobile telephones across their whole 225 vehicle trucking fleet. Walkers has the Fleet Trak system on 225 vehicles and reports fuel savings in the region of five per cent, a huge payback on such a large fleet.
The benefits of the FleetTrak System to the operator include an immediate payback of a 5-10% fuel saving across a typical mixed fleet, along with longer vehicle life and lower maintenance. But the payoff goes way beyond mere economics. The system provides the operator with a safeguard against the kind of heavy-footed, impatient driving that can lead to anything from a speeding ticket to a corporate manslaughter charge.
Auto-Q Chairman, Tom Lam commented "We are delighted to continue our long standing supply relationship with Walkers. The installation of our recently developed PDA mobile telephone module to our proven FleetTrak system provides the driver with a touch screen and advance call dialling facilities to improve driver communication."
