Driving Reach and Innovation: Targa Telematics and Volkswagen Group Info Services AG

As the mobility industry accelerates toward a more digital and sustainable future, connected vehicle data is reshaping how fleets operate across Europe. Through their partnership, Targa Telematics and Volkswagen Group Info Services AG are turning OEM data into actionable insights, empowering fleet operators with real-time intelligence, hardware-free integration, and scalable innovation.

With a strong European footprint and local engagement across several LinkedIn channels, Targa Telematics not only drives digital transformation for its customers but also brings outstanding visibility to how data can unlock the future of connected mobility.

The Collaboration:

Targa Telematics, a global leader in IoT and connected mobility solutions, has partnered with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG to integrate authorized fleet vehicle data from six major Volkswagen Group brands, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT, and CUPRA, directly into Targa’s digital platforms.

By accessing standardized, OEM-grade data via secure APIs, Targa Telematics enables fleet operators to unlock a broad range of mobility services, such as maintenance management, stolen vehicle recovery, claims management, fraud detection, EV management, and preventive maintenance, without requiring additional hardware or aftermarket installations.

The collaboration brings together Volkswagen Group’s cross-brand data expertise and Targa’s advanced telematics capabilities, resulting in simplified data access, faster deployment, and enhanced value creation for fleet managers. Both companies share a clear commitment to GDPR compliance, ensuring that all data is managed securely and transparently.

"The collaborations we are pursuing with car manufacturers aim to provide new mobility services based on the integration of data from fleet vehicles equipped with OEM electronic devices, thus reducing the operational impacts related to aftermarket solution installations,"
"Our objectives are to overcome the high complexity, involved in integrating and standardizing data, making it readily accessible through Targa Telematics' digital platforms, chosen based on customer need and cost-effectiveness."

Alberto Falcione, Vice President of Sales at Targa Telematics.
