EVA's CyntrX™ product provides our customers with a lowcost, high-value product with exceptional functionality for fleet tracking and reporting."

EVA currently offers GPS realtime tracking and GPS fleet tracking solutions through its CyntrX™ product line. CyntrX™ is a web-based GPS tracking system that allows customers the ability to monitor their fleet tracking needs throughout North America and to generate custom profiles and reports with no software loading requirements. Penske will offer its customers two CyntrX™ units and add additional models as they become available. Penske previously marketed CyntrX™ under the name FleetInSite and has worked closely with EVA since 2005. FleetInSite is being phased out. These units will now be marketed by Penske as a part of its wider Fleet I.Q. brand offering.

Penske's move with EVA is part of its wider technology and decision support strategy to support its customer's fleet productivity needs.

READING, Pa., December 3, 2008 - Today, Penske Truck Leasing announced it has teamed with PeopleNet for onboard commercial truck technology solutions. The move marks a shift in Penske's Fleet I.Q. strategy from offering a single private-labeled product to a suite of products and services.

"We are very pleased to be working with PeopleNet," said Jim Feenstra, Senior Vice President, Marketing – Penske Truck Leasing. "We selected them based on their ability and commitment to offer our customers a high level of customer service as well as a quality product with robust functionality."

"We're excited to work with Penske to offer their customers excellent integrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems," said Ron Konezny, chief executive officer for PeopleNet.

"Over the last several years, we offered customers one Fleet I.Q. product through one vendor," said Feenstra. "At the time this was right because of the various vendor business models and our customers weren't yet comfortable with these systems. However, today the market is maturing. Companies are looking to optimize fleet productivity and reduce transportation costs. Also, through our experience we understand that one size doesn't fit all and different customers need different solutions. That's why Fleet I.Q. is becoming a broader offering of solutions with more choices, price points and functionality but based on the foundation of solid and indisputable customer service. This is why we chose a partner like PeopleNet."

READING, Pa., August 21, 2008 - Today, Penske Truck Leasing and City Harvest announced the launch of an environmentally friendly, refrigerated truck fleet. City Harvest, the world's first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding New York City's hungry men, women and children, is the first Penske customer to commit to operate a fleet of state-of-the-art hybrid trucks.

"Our organization was founded on the notion of using resources wisely," stated Emory Edwards, City Harvest Director of Food Transportation. "We are pleased to partner with Penske in bringing this truck fleet to the streets of New York City and to lead the way in the development of this cutting-edge technology. The trucks will help us to deliver food in a cost-effective manner to New Yorkers in need."

Penske will provide City Harvest with full-service truck leasing support for the hybrids. By the close of 2009, City Harvest plans to have converted its entire fleet of 16 trucks to full hybrid technology. City Harvest is now operating four International Truck and Engine Corporation 18-foot DuraStar Hybrid trucks to deliver food in New York.

"City Harvest is on the leading edge with its commitment to bring a green fleet to New York," said Joe Cataudella, Area Vice President - Penske Truck Leasing, for the New York Metro Area. "By using hybrids they can double their fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by 40 percent. We are seeing increased demand for these vehicles nationwide due to high fuel costs and our customers' environmental improvement initiatives."

City Harvest uses its truck fleet to rescue excess food from all segments of the food industry, delivering it free of charge to more than 600 community food programs throughout the five boroughs. This year, the organization will rescue 23 million pounds of food that would otherwise go to waste, feeding more than 260,000 hungry men, women, and children each week.

"When these trucks travel at low speeds, the electric motor kicks in to supply power to the truck resulting in reduced fuel consumption and emissions," added Cataudella. "We're proud to work with City Harvest because of what they do for the community. This is just one more good thing to make New York a better place."
