Targa Telematics has announced a new strategic partnership with Volkswagen Group.
The deal allows data from vehicles made by brands including Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, and Cupra to be directly integrated into the Targa Telematics platform.
Data including mileage, fuel and electric energy consumption, and warning light notifications will be available without new equipment installations being required. This is intended to support services such as maintenance management, stolen vehicle recovery, claims management, fraud detection, drive analytics, activity reports, EV management, and corporate car sharing.
Targa Telematics vice president of sales Alberto Falcione said: “The collaborations we are pursuing with car manufacturers aim to provide new mobility services based on the integration of data from fleet vehicles equipped with OEM electronic devices, thus reducing the operational impacts related to aftermarket solution installations.
“Our objectives are to overcome the high complexity involved in integrating and standardizing data, making it readily accessible through Targa Telematics’ digital platforms, chosen based on customer need and cost-effectiveness.
“All of this ensures optimal results with the fast deployment of solutions through weekly releases of new features.”
Volkswagen Group Info Services head of strategy and business development Julian Burkhardt said: “We are thrilled to partner with Targa Telematics to bring innovative, data-driven mobility solutions to fleets across Europe.
“By combining Volkswagen Group’s advanced connected vehicle data with Targa’s state-of-the-art telematics solutions, we empower fleet operators to optimize efficiency, safety, and sustainability, while enabling seamless real-time decision-making without requiring additional hardware.”
