• The partnership unlocks seamless access to OEM vehicle data across six Volkswagen Group brands - with rapid onboarding and full compliance with European data privacy standards.

SINGAPORE: Cartrack, a leading global mobility solutions provider and subsidiary of Karooooo Limited (NASDAQ: KARO), today announced its partnership with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG to integrate multi-brand vehicle data across Europe.

This collaboration allows the direct integration of real-time fleet data from Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, and CUPRA into Cartrack’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) fleet platform.

Fleet managers can now instantly access critical OEM data such as warning lights, mileage, and fuel levels to optimise operations, improve driver safety, reduce fuel costs, and maintain compliance. The entire process is fully digital, with no additional hardware installation required.

Since vehicles come pre-equipped with the necessary technology, activation on Cartrack’s platform is automatic and remote. Customers also receive complimentary product training to start using the platform immediately.

Once connected, fleet managers gain instant access to operational and diagnostic data, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions from day one. This streamlined onboarding supports the digitisation of fleet operations and accelerates access to intelligent insights with Cartrack.

With this integration, fleet management becomes easier and more efficient. Cartrack helps businesses stay compliant with EU hours of service rules, conquer maintenance challenges by enabling proactive scheduling and reducing unexpected downtime, streamline inspections, and cut fuel costs to support sustainability goals. At the same time, both drivers and managers benefit from technology that simplifies their daily tasks. Drivers enjoy safer journeys, digital vehicle bookings, and easy fleet sharing, while managers gain a clear, real-time view of the entire fleet through intuitive dashboards on the Cartrack platform and driver app. Cartrack’s technology supports fleet managers in every aspect of operations, from scheduling maintenance and reporting accidents to completing digital inspections.

“This partnership is a significant milestone in expanding our OEM data ecosystem,” said Richard Schubert, Group COO at Cartrack. “Through our direct partnership with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG, customers benefit from seamless integration with the Cartrack platform via embedded telematics, helping them to optimise fleet efficiency, simplify their operations and accelerate their digital roadmap.”

By combining the advanced vehicle data of the Volkswagen Group with the solutions of Cartrack, we enable optimized efficiency, safety, and sustainability," said Lasse Schmidt van Hülst, Lead Sales at Volkswagen Group Info Servies AG.
