I.D. Systems Receives Purchase Order to Deploy Wireless Industrial Vehicle Management Technology At Mercedes-Benz' Vance, AL, Manufacturing Plant

HACKENSACK, N.J., March 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq:IDSY), a leading provider of wireless Vehicle Management Systems (VMS),
today announced that it has received a purchase order to implement its
PowerFleet(tm) VMS on a fleet of industrial trucks at the Vance, Alabama,
automotive manufacturing complex of Mercedes-Benz U.S. International. The order
was placed by I.D. Systems' strategic marketing partner NACCO Materials
Handling Group, Inc., a leading global industrial truck manufacturer, and
facilitated by Barloworld Handling, the world's largest dealer of Hyster(r)
brand industrial trucks. 

Mercedes-Benz U.S. International is a subsidiary of Stuttgart, Germany-based
Daimler AG (NYSE:DAI), a globally leading producer of premium passenger cars
and the largest manufacturer of heavy- and medium-duty trucks in the world. 

Wireless Vehicle Management Systems help improve supply chain productivity by
establishing accountability for the use of equipment, ensuring equipment is in
the proper place at the right time, streamlining material handling work flow,
and providing unique metrics on equipment utilization. A wireless VMS also
reduces fleet maintenance costs by automatically uploading vehicle data,
reporting vehicle problems electronically, scheduling maintenance according to
actual vehicle usage rather than by calendar or manual data entry, and helping
determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment. In addition, a
wireless VMS helps improve workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle
access to trained, authorized operators, providing electronic vehicle
inspection checklists, and sensing vehicle impacts. 

"It is extremely gratifying to add Mercedes-Benz to our world-class customer
base," said Peter Fausel, I.D. Systems' executive vice president of sales,
marketing and customer service. "We view Daimler as a global leader in adopting
best-practice technology to streamline manufacturing operations, and we believe
Mercedes' investment in I.D. Systems' VMS technology is a reflection of its
exceptional value -- particularly during difficult economic conditions -- in
managing the inherent safety, productivity, and operational cost issues
associated with fleets of industrial vehicles."
