BERLIN, July 20, 2010 - Following on after transport companies in Chile and Colombia, RosarioBus
in Argentina has now also chosen in favour of the software of IVU Traffic
Technologies AG. In future, bus services in Rosario (about 1 million
inhabitants) and Buenos Aires (about 2.8 million inhabitants) will be planed
and optimised using the IVU.suite. The RosarioBus Holding, which is
responsible for public transport in this region, has placed an order with IVU
for IVU.plan and the accompanying optimisation tools.

RosarioBus will be using IVU.plan in place of its self-developed planning
software in order to be prepared for future expansion. In a first step, the
operation in Buenos Aires with more than 200 buses is to be equipped with the
new software. In all, the company operates a total of 1,100 buses, and this
number is due to be increased in the near future after winning additional
concessions. In order to be able to deploy so many buses efficiently in all
the regions, it is important to have powerful planning software which above
all has proven reliability.

Also in Argentina IVU's software engineers have faced special
country-specific challenges. For example, the numerous legal restrictions
allow local bus operators little scope for flexibility and often make the
route planning very difficult. In order to make the best possible use of the
cost-intensive resources, a planning system was needed which is capable of
meeting all the legal requirements and which fulfils specific operational
needs, but which nevertheless ensures efficient duty scheduling and timetable
planning. The solution is called IVU.plan.

"With modern technology and worldwide experience we now have also
convinced customers in Argentina," commented a pleased Dr. Helmut Bergstein,
Member of the Board of Management with responsibility for the South American
business. "We are proud that with our software and our knowledge we can
contribute to the advancement of public transport in the major cities of the
world."
