SmarTire Announces Selection by Major American Coach Fleet

Coach USA Commits to outfit fleet with SmarTire TPM systems.

RICHMOND, British Columbia, Canada, Nov. 7 -- SmarTire Systems Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SMTR) announced today that Coach USA has selected SmarTire as its fleet TPMS provider. Effective immediately, Coach USA will require that new coaches ordered from all manufacturers be equipped with SmarTire's tire pressure monitoring systems. Coach USA also plans to immediately begin retrofitting its existing fleet of more than 1,500 motor coaches and has placed an initial order for this purpose.

SmarTire's active TPMS has been designed to enable fleet operators to efficiently maintain top tire performance, reducing tire failures, roadside downtime, fuel consumption and tire costs while increasing passenger and driver safety and confidence. The SmartWave TPMS, which can be installed on any existing vehicle, displays each tire's temperature and pressure information. If the system detects a loss of air pressure or abnormally high tire temperature, a warning automatically alerts the driver to the condition.

The Coach USA application marks the first time that SmarTire's TPMS has been integrated with the Saucon TDS telematics system. This combination allows Coach USA to monitor, in real time, tire conditions on all of its coaches from remote locations using a web based tool. Not only is the system designed to provide early warning to the driver, but alerts can also be sent via e-mail and text message in real time directly to maintenance personnel on their PC or mobile device. "We believe the combination of the SmarTire TPMS with the Saucon GPS system should enhance safety and operational levels for our employees and customers," noted Dale Moser, COO of Coach USA.

Dave Warkentin, President of SmarTire, said, "This commitment and order is the result of over one year of development and road testing, and we believe that it successfully proves the value of our tire pressure monitoring products for fleet customers in the motor coach market. We are very pleased to have been selected by Coach USA, and we look forward to a long lasting, rewarding relationship."
