(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Newest addition to Ericsson Connected Vehicle Cloud allows OEMs to grow an
ecosystem of digital services around their connected vehicles
* Connected Vehicle Marketplace features open APIs for telematics data,
regulated data sharing, partner management, and charging & billing solutions
* Scania introduces Scania One, a digital platform for both in-house services
and external content for Scania customers, built on Connected Vehicle
Marketplace
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has launched the game-changing Connected Vehicle
Marketplace, a white-label solution to reduce the complexities of building
digital service ecosystems for connected vehicles. Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs), partners and motorists will now be able to drive the
development of innovation and connectivity in the automotive industry.
Introducing Scania One, Scania becomes the first customer to use the new
solution. Scania One is an open customer platform that gives fleet owners,
drivers and fleet owners'' customers, access to services that will help increase
efficiency and productivity, while contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.
Building on the success of the Ericsson Connected Vehicle Cloud, the Connected
Vehicle Marketplace is a controlled and secure environment for OEMs to put new
digital services into the hands of their drivers. The solution is the first of
its kind and will enable OEMs to fully control the inclusion of third-party
digital services seamlessly and efficiently, all integrated into one digital
marketplace.
Börje Ekholm, President and CEO of Ericsson, announced the new Connected Vehicle
Marketplace during Ericsson''s Media & Analyst briefing at Mobile World Congress
in Barcelona on February 27.
Ekholm says: "Empowering innovation is crucial for Ericsson, and is an essential
part of the successful future for not only the automotive industry, but also a
whole host of others. We are committed to enabling the right mix of
connectivity, security and ideas across all industries, and today''s launch of
Connected Vehicle Marketplace for the automotive industry is just one example of
this."
Through the connected vehicles, Scania knows the logistical flow in the
operations of fleet owners'' customers, ranging from large-scale construction
sites, to public transport, to long haul transport. With Scania One, the digital
tools are placed in the hands of fleet owners and drivers to ensure gains in
these flows are realized and waste is eliminated.
"Compared to many other industries, the transport industry is making rapid
progress in digitalization. However, we cannot make this shift alone and this is
a great example of the kind of partnership that moves both our industries
forward," says Henrik Henriksson President and CEO, Scania. "Now we are taking
some serious steps translating the partnership into real business for us with
bottom line impact for our customers."
Roger Lanctot, Associate Director in Global Automotive Practice, Strategy
Analytics, says: "Ericsson is in a position to deliver almost any content,
service or application to any device or use case, whether it''s in the home, car,
or on a mobile device. With its horizontal IoT capabilities, proven today
towards the connected vehicle, Ericsson now brings together all possible usage
scenarios."
The number of connected vehicles is growing rapidly - both for commercial
vehicles and passenger cars. Scania has announced that there are now 250,000
connected vehicles, which amounts to more than two-thirds of all vehicles it has
sold the past five years. Moreover, Strategy Analytics predicts 382 million
connected vehicles by 2025.
Until now, there was no way for OEMs to share data efficiently, securely and in
a scalable manner with third-parties. Ericsson''s Connected Vehicle Marketplace
enables OEMs to create a connected ecosystem for core partners as well as
innovators who want to come up with new innovative services for the automotive
industry, to realize the full potential of connected vehicles.
Ericsson Connected Vehicle Cloud is powered by Ericsson''s IoT solution - IoT
Accelerator - bringing secure world-class mobile connectivity management and
trustworthy technology partnership, with IoT E2E systems, and rapid IoT
deployment and monetization capabilities.
