FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



                 Smartnav and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking
             to be standard fit on new model Citroen Berlingo vans



Trafficmaster, the leading supplier of intelligent driving services, today
announces a major further development of its relationship with Citroen vans. In
a first for the UK high cube van sector, the manufacturer's new Berlingo van
(excluding the 1.6i 625 x model), will have Trafficmaster's Smartnav and stolen
vehicle tracking fitted as standard. The newly launched Berlingo will be on sale
in the UK from 5 June 2008.


The equipment is already fitted as standard to Citroen's Dispatch and Relay
panel vans and in a 2008 enhancement, Citroen will now be offering a free, three
year subscription to the Active Traffic Management service made possible through
Trafficmaster's comprehensive network of 7,500 fixed traffic sensors. The Active
Traffic Management feature, which is an integral part of Trafficmaster's
Smartnav, is unique in its ability to save time and fuel and thus considerably
improve vehicle productivity. Smartnav saves existing subscribers four hours a
month.


All Smartnav and stolen vehicle tracking fitted vehicles will also have the
option to access Fleet Director, Trafficmaster's comprehensive fleet management
and tracking solution.


Robert Handyside, Citroen's commercial vehicle operations manager, explains, "
Citroen is the only light commercial vehicle manufacturer to be able to offer
its customers a comprehensive telematics package that not only provides accurate
navigation, real-time traffic data and stolen vehicle tracking as standard, but
a low cost option to add a fleet management system. Fleet Director allows
vehicle operators to locate drivers, increase productivity, cut costs and even
support duty of care programmes."


Tony Eales, CEO of Trafficmaster commented "We are delighted with the continued
success of our relationship with Citroen, its extension into Citroen's new
Berlingo range and the opportunity for its customers to experience the benefits
that Trafficmaster's unique navigation capability can bring to productivity and
efficiency. The success of Smartnav and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking with
Citroen vans supports how highly, commercial vehicle owners and drivers rate
intelligent driving services to help them in their business."
