Volta Trucks partners with HERE Technologies

Partnership tra Volta Trucks e HERE Technologies

Volta Trucks has confirmed that the forthcoming Volta Zero will feature integrated navigation services from HERE Technologies.

Volta Zero will use EV Range Assistant, a feature from HERE tailored for inner-city deliveries, that includes range prediction for trucks on route and allows for route planning including multiple delivery stops. Search, routing, real-time traffic, and turn-by-turn voice guidance will be available both on- and off-line.

Partnership tra Volta Trucks e HERE TechnologiesHERE Navigation allows Volta Trucks to take advantage of the navigation-as-a-service model to deliver a simplified infotainment supply chain and development process. The benefits include lowering costs, improving scalability, and allows Volta Trucks to deliver a unique In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system that can be remotely configured and monitored by customers, making it possible to consistently update and upgrade the driver experience. Secure data transfer between the truck and cloud enhances driver safety and privacy, while also accessing the latest map data via streaming.

With HERE Navigation, drivers will be able to use innovative geolocation technology, what3words, a simple way to identify a location in a manner that is more precise than a street address. What3words has divided the world into a grid of three-metre squares and given each square a unique combination of three random words: a what3words address. Drivers can enter what3words addresses directly into their in-truck systems, allowing them to easily navigate to locations as specific as building entrances or loading bays – ideal for busy drivers making multiple deliveries in a city.
