Targa Telematics has announced a new partnership with Volvo Cars, which will allow it to directly integrate data from the manufacturer’s vehicles into its platform.
Data including distance travelled, fuel consumption, GPS location, EV data, and remote commands such as lock/unlock will be available, without any hardware installations being required.
Volvo cars made since 2015 are covered.
Targa Telematics vice president for sales 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 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.”
Volvo Cars commercial manager Dimitrios Merkouris said: “Connected vehicles offer a unique opportunity to fundamentally reshape the way fleets are managed.
“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.”
