Trafficmaster signs 5 year contract to work with Norwich Union on "Pay As You
Drive"TM Insurance



Trafficmaster, the leading supplier of digital traffic information and
intelligent in-vehicle services, has signed a five year contract with Norwich
Union (NU) to deliver "Pay As You Drive"TM (PAYD) insurance services to the
motorist.



Trafficmaster will supply NU with an initial quantity of 10,000 advanced "
black-box" in-car units in the first half of 2006. The black box, which is
already being used for both Trafficmaster's navigation unit Smartnav and
tracking device RAC Trackstar, identifies the location of the vehicle to allow
the delivery of PAYD insurance.



NU customers will be offered comprehensive products that provide cost effective
insurance together with a raft of optional in-vehicle services. These will
include safety camera warnings, Smartnav navigation, emergency and breakdown
calls and stolen vehicle tracking from RAC Trackstar.



Tony Eales, Chief Executive of Trafficmaster, said "This is a major new market
for Trafficmaster as it not only provides large scale deployment of our
in-vehicle units but also provides an opportunity to sell our other compelling
services. The deal provides a new way to deliver Smartnav and it will allow us
to offer insurance products to many of our own subscribers."



Stephen Doran, Director of Business Development at Norwich Union said "Our
partnership with Trafficmaster will allow us to deliver some very compelling new
customer propositions combining "Pay As You Drive" TM Insurance from Norwich
Union with a range of added value in-vehicle services that Trafficmaster will
deliver. Norwich Union have been the pioneers of PAYD insurance in the UK, and
this partnership will allow us to take the programme to the next level."
