    Press Release

    VOLVO TRUCKS IN JOINT VENTURE TO CREATE COMMON


    INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR TRANSPORT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

    Released today by Volvo Truck Corporation in association with a number of other


    HGV manufacturers is a new open standard for transport information systems. The
    successful outcome of this joint initiative was presented in conjunction with the
    opening of the Transport Logistics trade fair in Munich, Germany.

    Many manufacturers of heavy trucks already supply information systems for


    command and control of vehicle fleets, but these are often developed exclusively
    for use on vehicles of their own make. Agreement on an open standard for vehicle
    data communications is a real breakthrough for the industry because it will allow
    haulage companies with fleets of several makes to use a single transport
    information system for all of them.

    This initiative by Volvo, MAN, Mercedes and Scania means that there will be
    systems on the market as early as 2002 which are fully compatible between the
    vehicle marques. Through their ability to offer more efficient transport solutions,
    haulage companies using these systems will be in a strong position to boost their
    ability to compete successfully.

    Volvo Truck Corporation launched its system for vehicle positioning and
    communication between vehicle and haulage company base as far back as the mid-
    1990s. The latest version, Dynafleet 2.03 was released in February 2001.

    Dynafleet was launched in 1997 and has achieved steadily increasing sales ever
    since. In 2000 the total number of units sold was three times the previous year’s
    figure – up to 3000 from 1000 units sold in 1999. The strong upward sales trend
    has continued in 2001.
