SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2011—Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced today next generation products for its TrimFleet™ construction supply fleet management solution. The new state-of-the art mobile computing hardware, software and sensors allow organizations to increase productivity and efficiency. The new products are a solid and expandable foundation for applications that can change the way construction material producers operate today.

“TrimFleet offers the most comprehensive mobile computing technology available today with its next generation hardware, software and sensors for the construction supply market,” said John Rice, general manager of Trimble’s Construction Supply Division. “Extensive market research and technical development has resulted in a comprehensive solution fusing rugged purpose-built hardware with innovative applications that set the stage for increased efficiency and productivity.”

The next generation products for the TrimFleet solution include:

Trimble Vehicle Gateway 850 (TVG850): The TVG850 is a state-of-the-art in-vehicle computing platform that serves as the core of the TrimFleet solution. With worldwide 3G Wireless WAN, Wi-Fi, Class 1 Bluetooth®, a powerful 400 MHz CPU and dedicated processor for diagnostics, expanded I/O capabilities for additional peripheral sensors, Trimble’s advanced GPS chipset and modular architecture, the TVG850 extends the functionality of the family of TrimFleet products.

TrimFleet Mobile: TrimFleet Mobile is Trimble Construction Supply’s latest mobility software platform. TrimFleet Mobile delivers features such as active navigation, free form text messaging and electronic signature capture. TrimFleet Mobile comes standard on the Trimble PDT200 Smart Display.

PDT200 Smart Display: With its large 7-inch color touchscreen display, the PDT200 is a fixed-mount in-cab display. Leveraging TrimFleet Mobile’s rich functionality such as active navigation, detailed delivery information and advanced text messaging, the vehicle operator will have the tools needed to be more efficient. Safety-conscious design considerations such as audible directions and restricted text messaging keep the focus on the primary job: delivering construction materials safely and on-time.

Hydraulic Pressure Sensor 100 (HPS100): Trimble’s hydraulic pressure sensor automatically captures the pressure used to drive the drum on a ready mix vehicle. Designed to help the material producer manage the quality of concrete, the HPS100 continuously measures and records the pressure reading at each event during the delivery cycle and reports in real time to TrimFleet back-office applications.

Water Add Meter 200/250 (WAM200/250): The newest additions to the TrimFleet sensor suite, the WAM200 and WAM250 provide real-time information when water is added into the drum from the mixer’s water tank. The lightweight, solid-state meter is designed to withstand the harsh construction environment under high operating pressure and extreme temperatures. The real-time water meter measures in gallons or liters and is communicated to the TrimFleet in-vehicle displays and TrimFleet back-office applications. The WAM250 provides an integrated digital display.

The next generation products for the TrimFleet solution are available now through Trimble’s Construction Supply Division.

Trimble Introduces VisionLink Fleet and Asset Management Solution

MUNICH, Germany, April 19, 2010 — Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today introduced its next generation fleet and asset management solution—the Web-based VisionLink™ solution. Using the VisionLink solution, owners of mixed fleets can monitor equipment health and fleet utilization with near real-time speed.

The announcement was made today at Bauma 2010, the world’s largest construction equipment exposition.

The VisionLink fleet and asset management solution features user-friendly management tools combined with GPS-based positioning and cellular technology to provide near real-time information regarding mixed fleet equipment performance. From portable assets to heavy machinery such as dump trucks, fuel trucks, graders, and loaders, VisionLink brings together a range of information, including machine fault codes, location, hours, events and user defined alerts, to provide an overview of machine health, fuel management and working utilization. The solution extends the Trimble® Construction Manager solution which offers contractors a range of tools to monitor machine utilization and site productivity.

Senior executives, fleet managers and rental equipment managers access the information about their equipment using the VisionLink Web-based solution where they can see map-based equipment views and run on-demand reports or charts. With alert functions, users can be automatically notified of unexpected activity via e-mail or SMS messaging.

The VisionLink fleet and asset management solution has been developed by VirtualSite Solutions, a Trimble and Caterpillar® joint venture company. VirtualSite Solutions is responsible for developing solutions to transform the way owners of mixed fleets can efficiently and safely manage their equipment fleets, reduce operating costs and improve productivity in the areas of fuel consumption, maintenance, worksite productivity and fleet logistics. The VisionLink solution is an integral part of the Cat® Product Link fleet-management solution and replaces their current user interface with powerful tools and features for processing and conveying information to users and dealers. The solution supports uses GPS, cellular and Low-Earth-Orbit based enabling hardware devices to transmit data over GSM/GPRS networks to provide equipment information to a secure data server. Trimble offers the VisionLink solution to allow mixed fleet owners to consolidate fleet management efforts.

The VisionLink fleet and asset management solution from Trimble is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 through the Trimble Heavy and Highway Construction distribution and SITECH™ dealer networks.
