The partnership enables the company to provide its customers with an advanced suite of GDPR-compliant telematics solutions, without the cost and hassle of installing aftermarket hardware into the vehicles.

The new agreement follows similar deals with other OEMs as Targa pushes ahead with plans to integrate the data streams of all manufacturers.

The company’s strategy is to provide fleet managers and drivers with an increasing number of digital services, simplifying the provisioning process in vehicles.

Alberto Falcione, VP sales at Targa Telematics, said: “Car manufacturers are looking to embrace the future and are increasingly opening their connected vehicle data to third-party specialists, where expertise in data capture can then turn vehicle data into meaningful performance insights.

“In this context, we are leveraging our proprietary ‘hardware-agnostic’ platform which can collect, integrate and analyse data from every car manufacturer and simplify telematics technology, thus reducing the impact of device installation.

“We constantly work to innovate our smart mobility services and solutions to increase the value for our customers and concretely build the mobility of the future.”
