Azure provides the Alliance with a global data platform to capture, manage and analyse vehicle data to deliver intelligent services based on the vast volume of data created by connected vehicles.
“Today we are deploying a vehicle connectivity platform that will transform the digital experience for customers of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi,” said RNM Alliance Connected Vehicles global VP, Kal Mos.
“Through our collaboration with Microsoft, we are introducing the most powerful and far-reaching connected vehicle platform.”
The first vehicles produced with Alliance Intelligent Cloud technology will be the Renault Clio and selected Nissan Leaf models sold in Japan and Europe. These are also the first vehicles powered by the Microsoft connected vehicle platform available to consumers at scale.
