                   ITIS HOLDINGS AGREES 3 YEAR CONTRACT WITH
                     VOLVO CARS FOR RDS-TMC TRAFFIC SERVICE

ITIS Holdings plc (ITIS) today announces a new contract with Volvo Car UK
Limited to supply its RDS-TMC (Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel)
service as a standard feature on the factory-installed RTi satellite navigation
system, which is available across all models in the Volvo Range.

Volvo Cars are the third of the Ford Motor Company brands to standardise the
RDS-TMC service and this contract is part of a larger framework agreement to
provide this service across other Premier Automotive Group brands including
Aston Martin, Volvo and Jaguar.  ITIS already supplies RDS-TMC to Ford and Land
Rover.

ITIS traffic information combines Journalistic and Floating Vehicle Data (FVD),
which is then broadcast using national bandwidth via Classic FM which is
licensed exclusively by the Radio Authority to ITIS until 2012.

Hugh Reid, Volvo Car UK's Managing Director said, 'Our decision to standardise
RDS-TMC using ITIS was based upon experience gained on a pilot scheme and
growing customer demand for the service.  We believe that RDS-TMC also makes an
important contribution to safety by reducing stress and improving journey
planning. In addition it also improves the re-sale value of our vehicles.  We
undertook six months' rigorous evaluation of the ITIS system and are completely
satisfied that it delivers the best traffic information solution to our
customers.'

Stuart Marks, Chief Executive, ITIS Holdings plc, commented, 'We are pleased
that Volvo joins other premium brands in selecting ITIS to provide its RDS-TMC
service. Dynamic Route Guidance turns the RTI satellite navigation system into a
very compelling feature for today's drivers and as a result we expect to see a
continued growth in demand for this product over the coming years.'
