Piaggio ties with Targa for connected fleet management on new urban delivery scooter

By / 3 years ago / News / No Comments

Piaggio is to offer EMEA customers access to connected fleet management services on its new Mymoover three-wheeler scooter, increasing efficiency and enhancing safety.

The new ‘Connectivity Powered by Targa Telematics’ package provides access to a wide range of connected fleet management services for Piaggio’s EMEA customers

It’s partnered with Targa Telematics, a tech company specialised in the development of digital solutions in telematics, smart mobility and IoT platforms, to develop a new ‘Connectivity Powered by Targa Telematics’ package.

This provides access to a wide range of connected fleet management services, which can be tailored to suit needs.

Depending on the package purchased (standard or premium), the solution will allow fleet managers to create new value for their business, using the data of the connected vehicle, such as fuel level, geolocation, engine warning lights, speed and crashes.

Data can be accessed via a dedicated desktop and mobile application, integrated via API directly into the customer’s IT systems or managed by sending detailed reports via email.

The solution also includes a rider recognition module via NFC (Near-Field Communication) technologies – supporting scooter sharing or compliance applications.

Every connected Mymoover comes with the eCall emergency call service and the Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) service, providing direct assistance with local police forces in the event of theft and managed by Targa Telematics Control Rooms operating in the EMEA area.

Introduced as many fleets enhance their mobility provision, it means Piaggio customers will be able to improve their business processes, help keep costs under control, ensure vehicle and driver safety, and enable compliance with company policies.

Alberto Falcione, Targa Telematics Sales VP, commented: “The mobility sector is undergoing a major evolution, with connectivity services playing an increasingly strategic role in generating value in the automotive sector. Our consolidated experience and our technology enables us to successfully help market players in the innovation process, supporting them in creating their technological architecture, which interacts directly with individual vehicles. This allows them to progressively provide new services and new solutions for an increasingly efficient corporate fleet and to facilitate the fleet manager’s job.”
