[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 5037E Transense Technologies PLC 13 May 2013 \n\nTransense Technologies plc\nTwo largest single orders of Translogik tyre inspection probes\nTransense Technologies plc (\"Transense\" or the \"Company\") (AIM: TRT), the provider of sensor systems for the transportation and industrial markets, is pleased to announce its trading division, Translogik, has received its two largest single orders to date, totalling 320 units, for its commercial truck tyre inspection tools. The orders are from its French partner and Value Added Reseller (VAR), EDP, and an existing North American VAR.\nThese orders, combined with other sales for the first five months of 2013, take the Company's total probe sales to over four times the comparable six month period of last year (January - June 2012).\nThe probes are being supplied by these VARs to a French tyre service provider, and to one of the largest haulage companies in the United States respectively.
