Audi to Implement Wireless Industrial Vehicle Management Technology From I.D. Systems, Inc.


HACKENSACK, N.J., April 7, 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 blanket purchase order from Audi AG to
provide its PowerFleet(tm) VMS to manage the industrial trucks Audi uses in its
manufacturing operations. The order covers a wide range of I.D. Systems'
products and services and has an open-ended duration with volume incentives.
The order specifically references two Audi sites for near-term system
deployment, including a plant in Ingolstadt, Germany, the location of Audi
world headquarters. 

The Audi Group, which also includes the Lamborghini brand, is one of the
world's leading manufacturers of premium cars. Audi AG sold more than 1,003,000
cars in 2008 -- its 13th record year in a row. The company achieved revenues of
EUR34.2 billion and pre-tax earnings reached a new high of EUR3.2 billion in
2008. 

Audi is a unit of Volkswagen AG, which recorded revenues of EUR113.8 billion
and pre-tax earnings of EUR6.6 billion in 2008. The blanket purchase order also
enables Volkswagen facilities to implement I.D. Systems' PowerFleet(tm) VMS. 

Wireless Vehicle Management Systems help improve supply chain productivity by
establishing accountability for the use of industrial trucks, such as
forklifts, ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time,
streamlining material handling work flow, and providing unique metrics on
vehicle utilization. A wireless VMS also helps reduce fleet maintenance costs
by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting equipment 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. 

"We are pleased to welcome Audi to our family of world-class customers," said
Peter Fausel, I.D. Systems' executive vice president of sales, marketing and
customer service. "Audi's order for our PowerFleet wireless Vehicle Management
System reflects our continuing efforts to expand our customer base in Europe
and build on our success in the vertical market of automotive manufacturing. We
look forward to helping Audi utilize our PowerFleet VMS to streamline its
material handling operations."
