Teletrac's Fleet Director 7 Wins 2009 Fleet Van Award for Technology Excellence and Innovation

'Fastest Route To Customer' Identified As Unique Innovation

GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Oct. 12 -- Teletrac (teletrac.net), a leading provider of intelligent driving solutions, today announced that its flagship solution Fleet Director(TM)7, has garnered even more industry recognition, winning the prestigious 2009 Fleet Van Technology Initiative of the Year Award sponsored by Fleet News Magazine. This award recognizes technological innovation and excellence as well as the tangible benefits and impact of telematics solutions on automotive fleets of all sizes.

Fleet Director locates, tracks and monitors the position and operation of fleet vehicles, giving fleet managers unprecedented visibility into operations--delivering cost-saving efficiencies such as real-time tracking of vehicles from the desktop, automatic route optimization and detailed reporting for advanced decision support and efficient regulatory compliance.

Fleet Director, launched at the end of 2007, is already proven and trusted by more than 6,000 fleets operating 90,000 vehicles, in the US alone. Fleet Director saves fleet owners time, money, and reduces their carbon footprint. Teletrac customers report up to 30% lower fuel usage, an average of 15% less driver overtime, 12% higher productivity and less unauthorized vehicle use. Further, with Fleet Director features such as vehicle & driver monitoring and 2-way messaging, dispatchers are automatically alerted to unsafe driving behavior in real time, greatly reducing risk to the organization, employees and the public.

In a hotly contested line-up of leading telematics providers, the judges were impressed with several new, fully integrated enhancements available in the latest release of Fleet Director 7 including SmartNav(TM) "fastest route" real-time navigation, dynamic dispatch--managing workflow between dispatchers and drivers, and at-a-glance "dashboard" report summaries for management with data drill-down.

In particular, the judges recognized the unique capabilities of Teletrac's SmartNav(TM) satellite navigation and its ability to immediately impact an organization's customer service capability with its "fastest route to the customer" feature. SmartNav vehicle navigation provides automated, turn-by-turn verbal driving directions. Drivers are guided along the most time-saving route while full-color displays map the route for clearest understanding. SmartNav automatically finds the most fuel- and time-efficient routes using minute-by-minute live traffic data to avoid tie-ups. If a driver goes off route by turning in the wrong direction or missing a turn, Fleet Director automatically revises directions to get the driver back on track.

With the latest release of Fleet Director 7, SmartNav utilizes live traffic information to alert dispatchers to potential delays so they can rearrange route priorities and coordinate vehicles on the fly. Mapping capabilities let dispatchers automatically identify the closest vehicle to a given location and identify the "fastest route" to the customer. Fleet Director lets dispatchers view all vehicles within the map area plus crucial information such as speed, actual distance and estimated time of arrival--a substantial step forward in serving customers with accurate information for enhancing the service experience.

"It is most gratifying that our continuing investment in Fleet Director technology is once again being recognized for delivering a truly unique feature set as well as real value to the market," stated Drew Hamilton, executive vice president, Teletrac. "Fleet Director 7 has set a new standard in the market and we look forward to 2010 with great confidence and enthusiasm as we continue to serve the telematics marketplace."
