PR Newswire (US)
Initial Order Launches SiriCOMM's Telematics Service JOPLIN, Mo.,
Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SiriCOMM, Inc. (OTC:SIRC)
(BULLETIN BOARD: SIRC) today announced that Idling Solutions,
L.L.C. has placed an initial order for its Pulse-ST SiriCOMM
telematics device and service. The order is part of a five-year
agreement between SiriCOMM and Idling Solutions that includes both
the engine device and monthly monitoring service for each unit
sold. SiriCOMM expects to ship the initial 1000 units to Idling
Solutions before the end of 2006. "We are excited to announce the
initial order and launch of our Pulse-ST device and service," said
Bill Graham, president and chief executive officer of SiriCOMM. "We
believe the benefits of the integrated package of our Pulse- ST and
the Idling Solutions' IS9000 has the potential to save fleet
operators millions of dollars and contribute to improvements in the
environment through noise reduction and lower emission levels. We
anticipate that this is the first of many more orders to come." The
Pulse-ST device will be installed with each new Idling Solutions
IS9000 unit, a patented battery-based auxiliary power and climate
control unit for heavy-duty trucks that eliminates up to 90 percent
of engine idling. The combination of these two products enables
fleets to record engine statistics, including non-idling time,
which allows them to qualify for Mobile-source Emission Reduction
Credits (MERC). Idling Solutions has agreed to utilize the SiriCOMM
nationwide network to exclusively carry the Idling Solutions data.
This service provides independent certification of the data
necessary to meet EPA guidelines to qualify for MERCs. When
approved by state air quality authorities, companies utilizing the
Pulse-ST should be able to earn annual MERCs of $5,000 to $6,000
per truck depending on the truck's operating location. "We believe
the benefits of our revolutionary power unit are significantly
enhanced by adding the tracking and communication capabilities of
the Pulse-ST and the SiriCOMM nationwide network," said David E.
Webb, chief executive officer of Idling Solutions. "We are excited
to have SiriCOMM as a partner and look forward to our ongoing
efforts to improve the environment and fleet operations." About
