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."

BUGGER!!!!

Well thats a bind aint it Kat when fusy told you so earlier!!!

did you watch the new peugeot advert... it was more like a SMARTNAV advert...

Nice one TFC... now buy some bloody shares mr Director

Hello investers this is my first post on this matter,the market makers on this particular stock are taking the p--s they are like pixeys hideing away until everyone forgets about it.This stock will rise very quickly when the pixies wake up.Buy this stock soon,I am not ramping this stock up,do your own research.This is word from the ROCKET MAN.

A regular dose on TV at prime time will make for some interest in TFC. Anyone know how long the campaign will be running?

yes I do, the campaign is running till march 2006 ;-) lovely jubbly

Nice indeed. That will do TFC no harm at all.

the word is Norwich Union is going to launch pay as you drive not just for 18-23 years old but for everyone as from january 2006... apparently alot of people old and young have applied for it, its going to be a very very big success, the goverment wants to piggy back TFC's black box for the road charge...

this company will become a billion company with in a year, easy!!! QXL will look like a spec in comparison

Also note, all the other manufacturers will follow peugeot like they did in 2003, so expect to see at least one or two announcements a month from the company re standard fits, next one is citroen

Director today buys 15,000 shares in TFC

WOW

I read in the weekend press that the system is not working at the proper rate iehigh mileage motorist are

not being charge the right amounts etc etc /

starting to move back up... trading statement due any day now

15,000 cor, wow weeeeeeeeeeeeee, FANTASTIC, amazing, whoooooooooooo whhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. This should flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy now!

in 2003 Peugeot was first, then Jeep chrysler... guest what...

look who is going standard fit for satnav in 2006

The Jeep Cherokee now comes equipped with ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and a tyre pressure monitoring system as standard across the model range. The Sport model also has alloy wheels and a spare wheel cover as standard while the Limited model features sat-nav, part-leather trimmed heated seats and an electric sunroof as standard and all for less than the 2005 model.
Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler Group in the UK said: "The 2006 model boasts a host of new standard equipment but without any price increase. In fact, our best selling Limited model gets heated part-leather seats and sat-nav but is 1035 cheaper than last year!

and more!!!

Sony Sat Nav
Ive bullied this focus group before, but I dont care, they deserve it. Audi TT Owners, May I Have Your Attention Please! Sony has made something silver and shiny for your silver and shiny car.






Similar to Hollywood types who spell names like Jill as Gyll, the nav-u is a suitably preposterous name for its new range of satellite navigation devices. Two units make up the offering, the NV-U50 and the NV-U70T. Each has a large 3.5in colour, touch screen display with 80 degree angle and run Sonys own proprietary (of course) GPS chip.

A dynamic re-routing function and real-time traffic information means both models can adjust journey plans on the fly, while a two way speaker system with 1.6W woofer should ensure clear voice instructions. Map coverage is pretty good, expanding a users chosen region by up to five countries and border areas, including neighbouring cities. The NV-U70T also offers pan European coverage (27 countries with 15 languages), which puts my knowledge of GCSE French into some perspective.

Inside the boxes are a variety of essentials such as the GPS antenna, a car cradle kit and European map package and they will be winging their way to your local shops (hopefully via the most expedient route) in January 2006. Pricing is currently stuck at a red light.
