I-Sim Awarded Driving Simulator Contracts for Alexandria Technical College And Northwestern Technical Institute

    SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 26 -- I-Sim Corporation, a leading
developer and manufacturer of driving-simulation equipment, today announced it
has sold two TranSim(TM) simulators, one to Alexandria Technical College and
another to Northwestern Technical Institute.
    The TranSim simulator teaches new and experienced drivers the proper way
to shift a variety of transmissions over a wide range of grades while pulling
an assortment of loads.  The TranSim allows a trainer to simulate more than
140 transmissions and 280 different engines from a variety of manufacturers.
    In addition, the simulator provides instantaneous miles-per-gallon
feedback to drivers and trainers, helping them improve fuel economy through
better shifting.  Not only can drivers monitor shifting improvement through
the TranSim, but they also can determine their corresponding fuel savings.
Such savings can amount to $40,000 to $100,000 per 100 drivers each year.
    "The TranSim is a valuable addition to trucking education," said Reginald
Welles, president and CEO of I-Sim.  "Practice on the TranSim can actually
lead to a more cost-effective, fuel-efficient training process."
    The TranSim reduces training time up to 25 percent.  Alexandria Technical
College and Northwestern Technical Institute both use the TranSim in addition
to their classroom and on-the-road training.
    "The TranSim has made a dramatic difference in our students' preparedness
for real-world driving," said Bill Fath, instructor at Alexandria Technical
College.  "Students relate better with the trucks and the shifting patterns
after completing the TranSim training."
    "Since we began using the TranSim in our training program, I have noticed
a decrease in the time it takes students to get accustomed to the technical
gear shifting," said Al Hutchinson, vice president of the economic development
program at Northwestern Technical Institute.  "We are pleased with the
progress of our students who have used the TranSim simulator, and we will
continue to depend on I-Sim for all of our simulator needs."
    Founded in 1967, Alexandria Technical College's Truck Driving Program of
Minnesota trains students in the operation of forklifts, dump, straight and
semi-trailer trucks.  The sixteen-week program includes defensive driving,
rules and regulations, and maintenance.
    Northwestern Technical Institute's Commercial Truck Driving Program of
Georgia was founded in 1989.  The eight-week program consists of classroom
training, range driving, supervised over-the-road mileage, and internships
with trucking firms.
    Headquartered in Salt Lake City, I-Sim Corporation is a leading developer
of high-performance wheeled-vehicle simulators for driver training in the law
enforcement, trucking, military, research and emergency-vehicle markets.
I-Sim's simulators provide highly realistic driving experiences without the
risk and expense associated with real-world training.  For more information
