Kay Turner, CEO of Megatronics International Corporation which manufactures the computerized system, said that the MegaTrak® system was chosen by Southwest to address operational concerns over the monitoring of fuel at the pump, lube reel usage, mobile truck fueling and the managing of bulk storage.

"Its versatility, as a truck mounted system, makes it the most reliable system for truck mounted dispensing," Turner told reporters at the Megatronics' corporate headquarters Sunday.

"We are pleased that Southwest Airlines, the most successful major air carrier in the US today, chose our system to service their equipment," the San Antonio business woman declared.

"We feel the MegaTrak® Fuel System is the most cost effective and efficient fuel system on the market. Its modular design and pay-at-the-pump architecture, along with smart-chip-in-a-key technology and easy to use sort and filter software, make it ideal for large and small corporations."

A specially programmed "smart-chip-in-a-key" is assigned to each piece of equipment to be fueled. Besides providing unique accountability for each fueling unit, MegaTrak®'s patented technology boasts the added benefit of 100% prevention of the wrong fuel type being dispensed to the wrong equipment, according to Turner.

The trucks, which incorporate the MegaTrak® system, are assembled by Garsite L.L.P. in Kansas City, Kansas.

The first two Southwest Airlines' locations scheduled for delivery this week of the specialized trucks are Houston, El Paso, and San Antonio.

MegaTrak® has been a popular choice of many organizations needing truck mounted systems, including governmental entities, construction companies, and mining firms.
