Partner News: Iveco launches Blue & Me Fleet telematics solution

Date: 03 October 2008

Iveco SpA, part of ERTICO Partner Fiat Group, announced on 26 September that on the occasion of the IAA commercial vehicle show in Hanover, they will launch their telematics fleet management and driver assistance package, Blue&Me Fleet. The telematics solution is developed on the Fiat Group Automobiles hardware platform, Blue&Me, and delivered via Qualcomm’s FleetVisor Mobile Communications Platform.

This end-to-end customer solution is the result of a collaboration between Iveco, Europe’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, and Qualcomm Enterprise Services Europe BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq:  QCOM). Qualcomm’s telematics and mobile asset management services are fully compatible with the Blue&Me Fleet Onboard Computer Platform and allow the vehicle operator to obtain real-time information from all equipped vehicles.
Blue&Me obtains vehicle data, such as fuel consumption, mileage, speed, and engine usage from the vehicle CAN BUS v, while also tracking the driver identity so that data can be correlated, allowing individual driver’s activity and driving behaviour to be monitored and managed by the company.
