Commercial Vehicle Group
Commercial fleets rely on advanced fleet management systems, powered by high-quality vehicle data for fleet safety, efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. The need for high-quality data will increase as fleets increase their dependence on software, data, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Access to high-quality data has traditionally been provided by specialist telematics providers. Now there is greater openness and desire to use OEM-enabled standardized fleet management data. Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) is an excellent start in providing cross-OEM standardized data, but more is needed.
The Commercial Vehicle group identifies issues and gaps in the practical use of VSS for commercial vehicle fleets, provides potential solutions, best practices, and recommendations, and potentially provides sample data, prototype cross-cloud exchanges, and establish conventions and conformance checkers.
The initial focus areas of this group include: Operations, Safety, Productivity, Sustainability, and Compliance.
Target group members include: Automakers, Fleet Operators, Telematics Service Providers, Tier 1s, and Insurance and Fintech companies.

Commercial fleets run on data. These fleets include a wide range of vehicle classes ranging from passenger cars, delivery vans, and heavy-duty trucks to construction equipment, and are owned and operated by a commercial entity instead of an individual....
Consumers expect the absolute best, safest, and problem-free content and experiences integrated into their digital world from their phones, smart home devices, computers, and electronic devices immediately as they become available. Why would they expect less from their vehicles? The reality today is not quite so simply in the Automotive industry and the vehicle’s data space is often messy and disconnected...
Collaboration to unify guidelines and interoperability for vehicle applications, primarily within the Android open source environment (AOSP). With mutual requirements, guidelines for APIs and reference implementations we can reduce cost and speed up time to market while enabling app developers to develop once and then easily deploy to many OEMs...
