Subtitle: Leading car parking kiosks manufacturer becomes a well-known player in
the U.S.

Swindon, UK, 18/08/2011. (euro adhoc) - Metric Parking, a subsidiary of Hoeft &
Wessel Group, which has been producing machines for the parking industry for
over 30 years, has just been awarded a contract with the U.S. city of Hoboken,
NJ, to supply 135 car parking ticket machines. After a successful pilot project
last year of 10 machines, the city saw a 30 per cent increase in revenue and
additional parking spaces. These spaces were created by moving from the
traditional single space meters to pay and display. Hoboken found that they are
fitting two to three more cars on a given block. Nearly half of all transactions
are cash less using credit cards. Additional revenue was captured that was
previously lost to broken meters.

The city of Hoboken with more than 50,000 inhabitants is located close to New
York. Installation work is scheduled to begin in a few weeks´ time. The new
parking kiosks of the Metric´s proven Aura model are solar powered and equipped
with different payment options. Customers can pay in cash with coins, using
debit or credit cards, and chip cards based on RFID technology. A payment by
phone service can also be installed at a later date.

Last year, Metric completed the installation of more than 1,000 parking kiosks
with comprehensive back-office software in the U.S.-city of Philadelphia. With
its subsidiary in Mount Laurel, NJ, Metric has established itself in the U.S.
as a well-known supplier of modern car parking kiosks. Its headquarters are in
Swindon, UK, to the west of London. Metric have installed more than 60,000
parking machine in over 45 countries worldwide.
