Optimise fleet management
WEBFLEET enables fleet managers to make better business decisions. It
helps to save fuel as well as localise vehicle positions and improves
car maintenance planning. Within the collaboration between PSA Group and
TomTom Telematics, the WEBFLEET platform will use the data sent by the
manufacturer-fitted telematics units of Peugeot, Citroën and DS cars.
This kind of alliance with a car manufacturer is a first for TomTom
Telematics.
"We see an increasing number of vehicles entering the market with
pre-installed mobile connectivity. Our WEBFLEET platform can provide a
valuable service to the owners and users of those vehicles. Customers
with Peugeot, Citroën and DS connected vehicles will now have easier
access to Europe's leading fleet management platform to help improve
fleet efficiency, customer services and overall business performance,"
said Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director at TomTom Telematics. "This
initiative extends the relationship with PSA Group, after announcing the
TomTom powered PSA infotainment platform¹ earlier this year."
Brigitte Courtehoux, Head of the Connected Services and New Mobility
Solutions business unit of PSA Group, added: "Our ambition is to
provide customers with fully-connected vehicle fleets as part of our
"Connect Fleet Management" program as well as a value-added service from
market-leading parners. This innovative proposal allows customers to
select services that best fit their company's needs, helping to save
time and money with an easy solution designed to significantly reduce
the total cost of ownership. Collaborations like with TomTom Telematics
enable us to provide a top-quality reliable service throughout Europe.
In this way, PSA Group is furthering its strategy as a mobility provider."
¹ This platform includes automotive-grade digital maps, TomTom's award
winning navigation software "NavKit" and its market leading live Traffic
service.
