ÅF has, through its Systems Division, signed an agreement for the
provision of IT services to Hertz Scandinavia. Hertz is one of
Scandinavia's leading car rental companies.

The agreement is worth approximately SEK 5 million per year for ÅF.

ÅF will be the principal supplier of administration services and
development support for Hertz Scandinavia's business systems."We are happy and proud to be entrusted by Hertz Scandinavia with
developing and administering the company's business support systems,"
says Johan Olsson, President of ÅF's Systems Division."We chose ÅF because of the company's long years of experience in
systems management, its industrial mindset and the long-term
perspective that characterises ÅF's collaboration with clients," says
Niklas Siljeblad, CIO for Hertz Scandinavia.

ÅF has already signed a similar agreement with the Volvo retail
organisation's development company, Volvohandelns Utvecklings AB, to
administer the client's retail business systems.
