ST. LOUIS, MO – XTRA Lease, a provider of over-the-road trailer equipment rental and leasing in North America, is expanding its service offering to include a customized version of QUALCOMM’s T2 Untethered TrailerTRACS asset management system for its trailers. The two companies have collaborated to create a new Web-based user interface that will improve XTRA Lease customers’ ability to manage their fleets through trailer tracking.

QUALCOMM has incorporated the enhancements into the T2 Untethered TrailerTRACS system for wider use so that all customers using QUALCOMM’s Web-based T2 asset management system are able to use the new features and functionalities. XTRA Lease will add QUALCOMM’s T2 asset management system to most of its dry van trailers by August 2007. By then, approximately 75 percent of the company’s dry van trailer fleet will be equipped with QUALCOMM devices. XTRA Lease customers will receive expanded tracking coverage into Mexico, in addition to comprehensive coverage in the United States and Canada.

The QUALCOMM-powered solution for XTRA Lease offers rapid-status visibility into trailer fleets for improved fleet utilization and security. Customers can easily identify idle trailers to optimize equipment, reduce costly down time, and improve driver productivity in locating untethered trailers. The new trailer tracking interface provides features that enable XTRA Lease customers to easily hone in on fleet dormancy, utilization, history, and mapping results.
