SBD will soon be publishing a photo-rich report highlighting the key trends and announcements at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

This report will not only summarise the new product and service launches, but more importantly, will identify the key trends in the different areas of Telematics, Navigation, Connectivity, Entertainment and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

Whilst vehicle manufacturers and system suppliers showcase numerous interesting technologies at motor shows, only a few of these technologies actually find their way to the market. SBD has been involved in the telematics-related fields since their inception in the early 90s and in this Frankfurt Motor Show Report, SBD will provide its views on how the market is evolving and identify any change in focus of vehicle manufacturers.
