Targa Telematics has formed a strategic partnership with Volvo Cars to integrate data from Volvo vehicles in Europe for the development of innovative connected mobility solutions.
The partnership with Volvo Cars involves the direct integration of data streams from the numerous Volvo models into Targa Telematics’ platform to enable connected mobility services, without requiring new installations, using information relating to items such as kilometers traveled, fuel consumption, GPS location, EV data or remote commands such as lock/unlock in full compliance with privacy and safety regulations.
“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,” commented Alberto Falcione, vice president of sales at Targa Telematics. “The goal is to simplify and normalize 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, optimized 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.”
“Connected vehicles offer a unique opportunity to fundamentally reshape the way fleets are managed,” added Dimitrios Merkouris, commercial manager at Volvo Cars. “Our collaboration with Targa Telematics allows us to bring Volvo’s hallmark quality, innovation and values to the commercial fleet sector. We provide immediate access to meaningful data that supports smarter decision-making, improves operational efficiency and promotes a more personal, sustainable and safe mobility.”
