 "Tata Motors and Microlise team up for fleet telematics in India")
Tata Motors, India's largest commercial vehicles manufacturer and Microlise, one of Europe's leading Telematics and Fleet Management solutions providers, today announced their partnership to bring in the latest global Fleet Telematics solutions to the Indian Market.
The agreement, signed for an initial period of five years, envisages both partners utilising their core strengths to deliver Fleet Management services to the Indian transport industry through the Tata Fleetman platform.
While Microlise will provide the technology and solutions, Tata Motors will integrate them in its commercial vehicles and utilise its vast experience and reach for service delivery. The services will be marketed through original equipment fitment as well as through the aftermarket route.
Tata Motors launched the Tata Fleetman Telematics and Fleet Management services brand in India two years ago, in response to growing market needs for better fleet control and greater fleet utilisation.
Ravi Pisharody, Executive Director Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said: "We as Tata Motors wish to lead the shift towards electronic control of drivelines and other vehicle systems. We also wish to harness the power and potential of such a digital approach by introducing advanced telematics and fleet management services."
