Networkcar Now Offers Fuel Tax Reporting Service from ProMiles

- Automated service eliminates the manual chore of tracking fuel tax for commercial fleets -

SAN DIEGO, July 9 -- Networkcar(R), a leader in wireless vehicle management, today announced that it has integrated the ProMiles FuelTaxOnline fuel tax reporting system into its Networkfleet wireless vehicle management system. Networkfleet transmits GPS location and engine odometer readings to ProMiles for each fleet vehicle. Fleet managers log in to the ProMiles Fleet Portal to view miles driven in each state and automatically generate fuel tax reports, saving man-hours and improving accuracy.

Offered to Networkfleet customers as a new feature, the fuel tax reporting service gives fleet managers the ability to automate all tax calculations, including state mile calculations and fuel purchase information from fuel cards. The service requires little or no driver input and saves time and money by eliminating the need for manual data entry. It also complies with state and federal tax regulations, thus reducing the risk of regulation violations.

"ProMiles is the industry leader in automated fuel tax reporting," said Casey Littleton, Networkcar business development manager. "By integrating with ProMiles, we are continuing our commitment to give our customers the best solution available to improve the efficiency of their operations."

"Fleet managers are always looking for ways to reduce operating costs. ProMiles automated fuel tax reporting combined with the services of Networkfleet gives them the benefits of location tracking, engine diagnostics, and fuel tax reporting," said Mike Webb, ProMiles VP of government affairs and reseller relations.

The new service will be available beginning July 9, 2007. For more information, or to sign up for the service, contact Networkcar at 866-227-7323.
