Micronet Awarded $4 Million Purchase Agreement for School Bus Fleets


MONTVALE, N.J., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQCM: MICT) announced that its Mobile Resource Management (MRM) subsidiary, Micronet Ltd, entered into a three-year purchase agreement with a leading U.S. based K-12 school bus fleet and workforce management solutions company, for Micronet's A317 All-In-One, rugged Android tablet. Pursuant to the agreement, subject to certain product development milestones, orders for the first year may exceed $4 million, and management expects increased volumes for each of the following two years.

Micronet's New A317 All-In-One Tablet

Utilizing Micronet's Android All-In-One A317 rugged tablets, the U.S - based customer is able to provide comprehensive tracking and efficiency to yellow bus fleet operations, manage the time and attendance of K-12 fleet drivers, improve vehicle maintenance by using the engine diagnostics and fault code alerts, optimize bus routes, and manage student ridership through the single, scalable, integrated, telematics tablet.

"Verizon's recent approval of our All-In-One A317 opens the door for many additional applications in the growing MRM market. We believe Micronet offers a comprehensive range of products and tablets throughout the MRM industry and a significant purchase ageement such as this one, for the K-12 school bus industry, validates the quality, diversity and market acceptance of our line of tablets to provide solutions to many different applications," said Shai Lustgarten, Micronet Chief Executive Officer.
