    HACKENSACK, N.J. - I.D. Systems, Inc., a leading provider of end-to-end 
wireless asset management solutions, today announced that it has received an 
order from Ford Motor Co. to initiate development of the next generation of 
Internet-based fleet management technology for its Industrial Vehicle Electronic

Ford's industrial vehicles, batteries, chargers, and other vehicle support
equipment.

    Michael Ehrman, I.D. Systems Executive Vice President of Engineering,
said, "The award of this contract reflects I.D. Systems' successful
development of an enterprise-wide wireless asset management system that meets
Ford's needs.  We are very excited about Ford's decision to expand the scope
of our work to encompass a solution for their entire fleet of industrial
equipment.  We also look forward to expanding and deploying the new
Internet-based technology into other applications and for other customers."

    Ehrman continued, "This program will provide Ford with a central data
repository for its plants and will help Ford Motor Company achieve a new level
of wireless, automated control over its industrial equipment around the
