Netistix FleetPulse Product Featured in Canadian Repair Our Air Fleet Challenge

Ottawa, September 14, 2005: Netistix Technologies today announced that the company’s FleetPulse telematics product will be used by several of the participating organizations in the Canadian Repair Our Air Fleet Challenge which officially gets underway later this week.

The Netistix FleetPulse™ product will be used in a number of participating fleets including the Winnipeg Fleet Management Agency, Hydro One Brampton, Manitoba Hydro and the City of Hamilton.

The Repair Our Air-Fleet Challenge began in year 2000 with funding from Natural Resources Canada and active support and leadership from Toronto Hydro and Enbridge. This year the Challenge is inviting fleets across Canada to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gases by reducing unnecessary idling.

Gord Echlin, CEO of Netistix, said that the company is an enthusiastic supporter of the Fleet Challenge and is looking forward to the positive results that the fleets will gain from using the FleetPulse product. ”Our technology is proving itself to fleet owners across the country. It is providing data in a cost effective manner that allows them to significantly reduce their costs of fleet operations. The folks using our technology in this challenge are going to realize the same benefits beginning with lower fuel costs but extending to lower overall maintenance costs as well.”

This year’s version of the Repair Our Air Fleet Challenge has over 25 participating fleets from the private and public sectors. The goal of the Challenge is to provide participants with accurate data on the extent and pattern of idling incidence…and tools to assist with its reduction. Fleets will typically begin the Challenge with idling incidence of approximately 35% of operating time and reduce the incidence to 5% by providing drivers with constant feedback.
