CalAmp – LoJack® Italia and Koelliker join forces to connect and protect new EV commercial vehicles with LoJack technology.
CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company helping businesses and people track, monitor and recover vital assets with real-time visibility and insights, announced its subsidiary, LoJack® Italia, has partnered with the Koelliker Group, a leader in the import and sales of electric, connected and intelligent vehicles across Italy.
Through the partnership, all new MAXUS eDELIVER 3 and eDELIVER 9 electric native light commercial vehicles distributed in Italy by the Koelliker Group, will be pre-installed with LoJack Connect connected car intelligence and services that help maintain vehicle health and encourage better driving behaviors.
The LoJack Connect app serves as a virtual assistant by giving MAXUS eDELIVER 3 and eDELIVER 9 drivers greater visibility into kilometers traveled, route monitoring and departure/arrival notifications on a specific location such as a corporate office or delivery location. Access to real-time alerts about the charge level of the 12-volt battery will help protect the control unit and avoid blackouts.
Diagnostic alerts notify fleet managers of any mechanical failures, maintenance deadlines and tire replacement needs to prevent costly breakdowns and keep the vans in optimal running condition to improve overall vehicle safety.
The innovative Driving Style feature provides drivers with a score indicating their driving behavior based on an analysis of telematics data. These intelligent insights help drivers to develop safer driving habits, contributing to improved road safety and also helping to reduce environmental impact.
In the event of a collision, CrashBoxx® crash response services deliver real-time crash notification to loved ones and immediate assistance to the motorist from LoJack’s 24/7 Security Operations Center providing support with emergency response, towing and accident statement forms.
Automated incident reports document crash data on force, impact, and damage, helping to facilitate investigations and claims processing.
The LoJack partnership also provides Koelliker with a dedicated SmartDealer portal, which notifies them when customers’ kilometer thresholds are exceeded, tire rotation is needed or a low battery alert goes off, allowing Koelliker to provide optimal service and support.
Luca Ronconi, CEO of Koelliker.
