Ituran & Make My Day

Make My Day, a leading provider of sustainable fleet solutions partnered with Ituran, A global leader in the telematics industry, connected car solutions, and services for professional fleets, insurance providers, the automotive industry, government institutions, and companies from a wide range of verticals, as well as private customers.

The Partnership:

Our collaboration is founded on our shared dedication to enhancing the overall customer experience.

The collaboration is transforming the way businesses manage their electric fleets. The Telematics company customers can now experience increased efficiency, cost savings, and a commitment to environmental responsibility.

The Challenge:

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) in fleet management presented a unique challenge. Traditional route planning methods, designed for gasoline vehicles, often fell short for EVs. Without considering real-time battery data and range limitations, these methods led to inefficient routes and unnecessary charging stops. This fueled “range anxiety” among EV drivers, a fear of running out of power before reaching a charging station.

Make My Day’s Solution:

The telematics company partnered with Make My Day, a renowned route planner and charging optimization provider, to integrate its API into the existing Telematics management system and driver app. This integration allowed the Telematics company to offer EV drivers a tailored solution that takes into account real battery status and range data, optimizing routes and charging stops for maximum efficiency.

Implementation:

The integration involved full compatibility between the telematics devices and MMD’s API, enabling seamless communication and data exchange. The API accesses real-time EV status information, including battery level, historical data, and current vehicle status, to provide accurate route planning recommendations.

Telematics Benefits from the partnership:

1. Alleviating Range Anxiety: By incorporating real-time battery status and range data into route planning, effectively addresses range anxiety among EV drivers. The integrated solution reassures drivers that their routes are optimized based on their specific EV capabilities, minimizing concerns about running out of charge.

    

2. Optimized Charging: The integration enables the telematics company to optimize charging stops according to the specific needs of each EV user. By considering factors such as battery level, distance to destination, and charging station availability, the solution helps drivers save both time and money by avoiding unnecessary charging stops and reducing overall charging costs.

    

3. Enhanced User Experience: The integration enhances the overall user experience for EV drivers within the Telematics ecosystem. With access to advanced route planning and charging optimization features, drivers can confidently navigate their journeys with greater efficiency and peace of mind.
