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.
