FORT LEE, N.J., Feb. 21, 2006 -- On Track Innovations Ltd.

"EasyFuel." EasyFuel is a wireless solution for petroleum payment management and loyalty programs for oil companies, commercial transport and transportation fleets, and private motorists. This follows EasyFuel expansion to Peru and other countries in the region.

CROZET S.A., a Costa Rican company will distribute EasyFuel throughout the country. CROZET S.A. targets gas stations for fleets, as well as the retail gas station market.

Daniel Bronstein, President of CROZET S.A., commented, "This is a unique opportunity and we are excited to work with OTI on EasyFuel. With its proven track record of projects around the world and ease of use we feel that EasyFuel has great potential in Costa Rica.

Oded Bashan, President and CEO of OTI, commented, "The agreement with CROZET S.A. in Costa Rica represents another important step for our continued expansion. Globally, this builds on our well established implementations in the different petroleum markets."

EasyFuel wireless solution is an easy, quick and cost-effective installation, minimum maintenance and fast turn around at the pump. The EasyFuel system has built-in benefits for oil companies, commercial fleet operators, financial institutions, and private motorists. The oil companies build loyalty with fleet companies via long-term contracts, as well as with private motorists. The OTI solutions are easily integrated into existing hardware and software systems. The system allows for 24-hour non-attendant sales, as well as greater in-store purchases.
