Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Awards Global Deal to TomTom
27 January 2020 - 8:09PM
TomTom (TOM2), the leading independent location technology
specialist, today announced that it will provide FCA with maps,
navigation and live services for the all-new Uconnect 5 in-vehicle
infotainment system. Drivers of upcoming Abarth, Alfa Romeo,
Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia and Ram Trucks vehicles will
benefit from a wide-range of innovative features provided by
TomTom, including: IQ Maps, traffic, electric vehicle (EV) &
connected services, destination prediction, and user interface. The
first models equipped with Uconnect 5 will hit the road in 2020.
"We are delighted to be building on our
long-term relationship with FCA,” said Antoine Saucier, Managing
Director, TomTom Automotive. “FCA will be the first automaker to
offer automatic over-the-air map updates to drivers globally –
thanks to TomTom IQ Maps.”
Uconnect 5 includes the full array of TomTom’s
traffic and connected services. This includes EV services showing
charging points and their availability. New to FCA vehicles,
dynamic range mapping will help electric and internal combustion
engine vehicles drivers to visualize the vehicle’s range by
displaying how far they can drive on their map. If the battery or
fuel is insufficient to make it to the selected destination, the
driver will be prompted via an onscreen warning to navigate towards
a charging point or fuel station. The user will be provided with a
cost comparison of available recharging /refueling stations that
are within range.
Destination prediction is a new feature that
enables the system to learn when it is time to prompt the driver
with guidance towards one of the user’s favorite places.
TomTom’s integrated solution will be displayed
across both the center console and cluster screens, featuring a
TomTom user-interface, both in terms of look and feel. This
integrated approach means the Uconnect 5 system can project moving
lane and turn-by-turn guidance, as well as speed camera, traffic
and hazard warnings to the vehicle’s cluster screen. This feature
reduces lateral head movement so drivers can focus on the road for
a smooth and safer drive.
Uconnect 5 will be available in all key FCA
markets excluding China.
