Press Release Summary = Netistix Announces Free On Line Calculator to determine cost
savings in fleet vehicle operations.

Press Release Body = NetistixT Technologies Corporation, creator of the FleetPulseT
wireless fleet monitoring system, has devised a novel tool for fleet vehicle
operators to calculate the cost savings they can achieve by accurately identifying,
monitoring and correcting vehicle deficiencies and driver behaviour.

NetistixT has developed and launched an online cost-benefit calculator that allows
fleet managers to calculate the savings they could realize by reducing the idling
times of their vehicles, encouraging drivers to reduce their speed, and by improving
overall vehicle fitness through tune-ups and properly inflated tires. All of these
factors affect fuel consumption and the costs of operating a vehicle.

Available online at: http://www.netistix.com/calculator/index.php, the calculator
begins by allowing visitors to indicate the fuel economy of a single fleet vehicle,
its idle fuel consumption, the price per litre paid for fuel and the vehicle's
emissions rate.
Default values are also provided based on industry resources. The calculator asks
for a "target goal" for reducing idling of the vehicle and, based on the information
provided, will calculate the per-vehicle cost savings that can be achieved through
use of a fleet monitoring solution such as NetistixT FleetPulseT. Additional fuel
economy and even multiple-vehicle computations can also be made, and fleet managers
can conclude by calculating the potential savings across their entire fleet. The
results can be emailed or printed for future reference.

Gord Echlin, CEO of NetistixT commented on the introduction of the online
calculator: "The calculator is a useful and helpful way to estimate the cost savings
and emissions reductions that can be achieved with a wireless fleet monitoring
system. Research has shown that once fleet managers have real operational data and
can demonstrate the true cost of particular manageable variables, they will take the
steps to improve the fitness of their vehicles and have drivers modify their
habits."
