MILAN and IRVINE, Calif., July
22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected
intelligence company helping businesses and people track, monitor
and recover vital assets with real-time visibility and insights,
today 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.
"MAXUS LCVs are distinguished by being tireless, reliable,
technological and innovative workmates, all characteristics that
have guided our choice to import and distribute them in our
country. Those who buy MAXUS commercial vehicles know they are
choosing state-of-the-art native electric vehicles designed with
safety in mind," said Luca Ronconi,
CEO of Koelliker. "The mobility services developed by LoJack
enhance security and safety for eDELIVER 3 and eDELIVER 9 drivers
who are on the road every day and can now count on real-time
assistance at critical moments, especially in delivering in the
last mile that increasingly requires ecological vehicles."
"We are excited to expand our market reach into electric
commercial vehicles. Our telematics solutions will minimize
downtime of these service vehicles, allowing for full operation and
offering support to drivers when needed," said Maurizio Iperti, senior vice president of LoJack
EMEA and managing director of LoJack Italia. "Through our
partnership with Koelliker, drivers of MAXUS eDELIVER 3 and
eDELIVER 9 vans will be able to rely on LoJack's intelligent
connected technology to help them work smarter and safer, while
ensuring vehicle protection and efficiency."
