Kidron Offers Eagle Eye Collision Avoidance Technology on Refrigerated Trailers

INDIANAPOLIS--Oct. 1, 20045, 2004--Transportation Safety Technologies, Inc. (TST), a leading provider of electronic control, safety, and security systems for commercial fleet vehicles, today announced that Kidron, a global provider of refrigerated trailers, will immediately begin marketing and supporting TST's Eagle Eye(TM) Obstacle Detection System.

The Eagle Eye(TM) Obstacle Detection System uses ultrasonic technology to monitor the blind areas around commercial vehicles, and alert drivers to the presence of obstacles they cannot see. Eagle Eye has helped fleet operators avoid costly accidents.

"Because Kidron is so well positioned in the food distribution, fleet leasing and dairy markets, they are a logical choice to also provide reliable collision avoidance technology to their customers," said Mike Coyle, CEO and President, Transportation Safety Technologies, Inc. "They will find that Eagle Eye quickly pays for itself by helping drivers avoid collisions."

John Sommer, Jr., Director of Sales and Marketing at Kidron added, "We look forward to working with TST. Many of our customers will really appreciate how easy and affordable it can be to add Eagle Eye to their vehicles."
