BP Extends and Expands Relationship with OTI

OTI Grants BP a Worldwide License to Enable Expansion Beyond Africa

Fort Lee, NJ, September 13, 2005–On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) (NASDAQ: OTIV; Prime Standard [Frankfurt]: OT5) today announced that BP Africa, a division of BP p.l.c., has extended and expanded its relationship with OTI. In addition, OTI has granted BP a worldwide license for its petroleum payment solution. OTI is a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions, for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications. BP p.l.c. engages in oil and natural gas exploration, and field development and production, as well as in the management of crude oil and natural gas pipelines, processing and export terminals, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing facilities worldwide.

In the original contract, OTI, through its subsidiary OTI Africa, created a network of on-road sites equipped with its fuel management system branded in South Africa as FuelMaster Fleet and FuelMaster Express. Under the latest contract, OTI Africa will continue to provide sales, encoding, installation, driver training, maintenance, repair, quality control services, customer care services, help desk services, and technical support and development services at over 500 BP stations in Southern Africa. Separately, BP Africa has established a direct relationship with OTI for the acquisition of equipment and the grant of a worldwide license. In addition to cash payments for equipment, OTI will continue to receive a volume-based remuneration from BP based on all petrol and diesel sold through the use of the FuelMaster System at on-road and home base sites.

Says Fabian Bessick, Product Manager FuelMaster for BP Africa, “This relationship built over many years have contributed significantly to the bottom line of our company and that of our customers through the introduction of management systems which have provided peace-of-mind. We look forward to extend this mutually beneficial relationship with OTI.”

Oded Bashan, President & CEO, OTI, stated, “The original purpose was to put a system in place to eliminate fraud, to increase the efficiencies of fleet management and to increase loyalty for BP stations. This contract extension and expansion underscores the success we have achieved and gives BP a license to now expand this program beyond Africa. Our work with BP is another example of why important and influential companies are working with OTI to adopt contactless payment solutions across a wide range of industries globally. Our customers benefit by leveraging OTI’s technology for multiple applications, including loyalty programs, increased retail purchases and improved security, thereby benefiting both consumers and retailers.”

The FuelMaster program monitors and expedites the fueling and payment process for fleets. The system only permits the fueling of designated vehicles, thus eliminating potential fraud. It also brings convenience to fleet managers by providing comprehensive billing, while reporting fuel consumption and mileage.

The FuelMaster Express program, which is aimed at the retail market, uses an OTI contactless smart key fob, which carries a driver’s payment information, to speed transactions. The key fob is presented to the reader located on the fuel pump and will also potentially be used at BP’s convenience stores in future for purchasing and gaining loyalty points.
