Green light for telematics in Brazil

Up until now automotive telematics in Latin America has been an unknown territory. However, industry leaders from Volvo, Nokia and Continental amongst others have given the green light and told us that Latin America is ready for telematics – provided we dedicate time to convincing the customer.

It is critical for telematics providers to understand how automakers, the government, hardware manufacturers, and tier one technology suppliers visualise business models, technology and strategy developments in this field to design a suite of services that improve fuel efficiency, traffic management and security to make sure customers benefits from this new driving experience.
