Hitachi and Airbiquity have announced a global partnership to develop new telematics systems aimed at plug-in vehicles. The partners say they will be able to establish a common system infrastructure for global services, providing vehicle connectivity and delivering essential EV-oriented services and other common applications. They say that their services can be tailored to the needs of the EV manufacturers, combined and delivered via a global, cooperative system.
"As both social awareness of traffic and transportation efficiency and the importance of contributing to the protection of the environment rise, Hitachi Automotive Systems continues to focus on providing connected vehicle service providers with intelligent, advanced solutions,” said Masamori Kashiyama, General Manager of the Next-Generation Telematics Center of Hitachi Automotive Systems' CIS Division.
Airbiquity currently provides much of the back-end communications infrastructure used by General Motors and Ford for the OnStar and Sync systems.
