Targa Telematics has announced a strategic partnership with Volvo Cars to develop new connected mobility services by integrating vehicle data from Volvo models in Europe.
This collaboration aims to provide fleet managers and drivers with a growing number of digital services, simplifying the provisioning process of vehicles and optimising fleet management.
The partnership enables direct integration of data streams from various Volvo models into Targa Telematics' platform, facilitating the creation of new services without the need for new installations.
These services will utilise information such as kilometres travelled, fuel consumption, GPS location, EV data, and remote commands like lock/unlock, all in compliance with privacy and safety regulations.
Fleet managers stand to benefit from detailed reports generated by Targa Telematics, offering structured information crucial for effective decision-making and fleet optimisation.
This integration of data streams will allow them to leverage a set of valuable insights for managing their fleets more efficiently.
Targa Telematics sales vice president Alberto Falcione said: “The collaborations we have with car manufacturers aim to provide new mobility services developed using data flows from vehicles equipped with OEM devices, thus reducing the operational impacts related to aftermarket installations. The goal is to simplify and normalise data flows, a highly complex process, and make them available through Targa Telematics’ digital platforms.
"This data is selected based on the real needs of the customer, ensuring efficiency and economic sustainability. This enables the creation of fast, optimised and high-performance solutions, with reduced deployment times and a significant improvement in operational processes, both for customers and for the services offered by Targa Telematics.”
With over ten years of experience in the leasing, rental, and insurance sectors, Targa Telematics has the expertise to transform raw data into valuable information, providing a competitive edge.
In another development, Volvo Cars has selected Tata Technologies as a strategic engineering supplier, expanding their long-term relationship.
Tata Technologies will provide product engineering, embedded software solutions, and product lifecycle management (PLM) services to Volvo Cars.
Tata Technologies will support Volvo Cars from its global hubs in Sweden, India, Romania, and Poland.
