DriveSync™ Now Shipping

Vehicle Owners in Five Countries the First to Benefit from DriveSync™

Waterloo, ON - February 28, 2006 - Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), a world leader in telematics solutions, is pleased to announce that is now shipping DriveSync™ to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France.

DriveSync™ is an innovative GPS vehicle tracking solution. It allows vehicle owners to monitor when, where and how their vehicle is being driven. This information is tracked via GPS satellites and recorded on the in-vehicle DriveSync™ unit. Results are viewed by detaching the unit's data key and inserting into a computer USB port. Data is uploaded to a DriveSync™ server, where it is compiled into reports and route maps, and accessed via a secure web portal. The results provide vehicle owners with a comprehensive analysis of vehicle use and driver behavior.

DriveSync™ is more than a vehicle tracking system; it's a valuable training tool. With route maps color-coded by speeds, and reports that highlight aggressive driving habits, DriveSync™ enables vehicle owners to identify and correct unsafe or inefficient driving habits. The reports also track the routes, speeds and mileage of each vehicle trip; information vehicle owners can use to manage vehicle insurance, fuel and maintenance costs. These are benefits that apply to all vehicle owners worldwide.

"Every vehicle owner has concerns about how their vehicle is being driven", says John Reynolds, Vice-President of Business Development at IMS. "DriveSync™ alleviates those concerns by directly answering any questions vehicle owners may have regarding vehicle use and driver behavior. And that's a benefit any driver can appreciate."

Look for broad scale DriveSync™ availability in the coming months.
