Telematics

SBD has been at the forefront of monitoring, analysing and advising our clients on the latest trends and strategies for launching telematics services globally for over 14 years. Each year, we produce an annual account of vehicle manufacturers’ telematics solutions. This enables our clients to differentiate between various offerings, supplier choices and service features as well as pin-point the critical success factors for a service and benchmark their own offerings against competitors. In 2010, we’ve created this annual report in an interactive, presentation format. This allows a considerable amount of market and technical information to be found in one source. This unique format allows users to rapidly switch between top-level market overviews to detailed structure diagrams of specific services by simply clicking on the relevant manufacturer or service.

This database provides detailed information on the four OE telematics services currently available in Europe from BMW, Fiat, PSA and Volvo. The database includes a dedicated worksheet providing access to information on features and maps showing geographic coverage for each vehicle manufacturer.

This sales forecast provides a unique hype-free 10-year projection for the volume and fitment of telematics systems sold, broken down into the following specific applications: eCall, bCall, Remote diagnostics, SVT, PAYD, EV telematics, connected navigation and connected entertainment.
