The Project Will Help Brazilian Transportation and
    Infrastructures Authority (DNIT) to Enhance Road Safety on
                Its Transportation Infrastructures

ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telvent
(Nasdaq:TLVT), the IT company for a sustainable and secure world,
announced today that it will install its Telvent SmartMobilityTM Tunnel
solution on El Morro Alto Tunnels, which are part of DNIT's ambitious
plan to improve tunnel infrastructures all over Brazilian Roads. The
contract is valued at almost 14.5 million euros.

This project is the first step to accomplish one of the highest
priorities of DNIT, which looks forward to enhancing safety and
security on their road and rail transportation critical
infrastructures. Thanks to Telvent SmartMobilityTM Tunnel solution,
DNIT operators in charge of operation and maintenance of both tunnels
will be aware at all times of what is happening inside the tunnel, and
can diagnose and control traffic in real time and be prepared to
respond quickly and appropriately to any emergency situation. This
technological deployment will lead to a substantial improvement in
incident response times and more efficient management of maintenance
plans, which, in turn, will lead to a decrease in accident rates and an
increase in users' safety.

Telvent will install Telvent SmartMobilityTM Tunnel, based on its own
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology, which will
allow operators to centralize both tunnel infrastructure and traffic
management, giving them a comprehensive set of tools that will
facilitate management, increasing security at the same time.
Specifically, the following systems will be implemented and integrated
on the control center: emergency signaling system, closed-circuit
television (CCTV) surveillance, emergency intercom, variable message
systems, lighting, ventilation, communications network, etc.

According to Telvent's Chairman and CEO, Manuel Sanchez, "We are
pleased to be able to collaborate with the Brazilian Transportation and
Infrastructures Authority in enhancing Brazilian critical
infrastructures' safety and security with the aim of reducing accident
rates."

This contract allows Telvent to strengthen its position in the
Brazilian market, as technological leader in intelligent transportation
systems. The Company has completed successfully numerous projects in
Brazil, such as several highway management projects, ticketing systems
and the urban traffic control (UTC) development and maintenance in Rio
de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Finally, it is worth
mentioning that Telvent is the only company to have installed
successfully a centralized tunnel Management for Ecovias dos
Inmigrantes tollway.
