Penske to use Xata Corp. onboard computing software
READING, Pa. (Feb. 28, 2002) — Penske Logistics, through its parent Penske Truck Leasing, has signed a licensing agreement to equip a portion of its fleet with XataNet software applications from Xata Corp.
The program will enable Penske to automate driver logs, monitor state line crossings, and calculate fuel tax, the leasing company said.
“We reviewed the leading onboard software solutions available and selected XataNet for the platform and network independence, as well as the strong functionality it offers,” said Peter E. Smith, senior vice-president, logistics technology, at Penske Logistics.
The XataNet family of Web-based applications is compatible with a variety of hardware and communications platforms and peripheral devices.
Xata Corp. is based in Minneapolis, Minn.
