UK-based commercial EV manufacturer Arrival has selected Here Technologies, location data platform provider, to power its in-vehicle Human-Machine Interface (HMI) navigation solution.
According to the collaboration, Here’s software development kit (SDK) provides real-time visibility into the geographic location of mobile assets and offline capabilities. This includes route calculation, location search and turn-by-turn navigation.
Thanks to a highly compressed data format, Here SDK is designed to provide fast upload times and a seamless user experience that can be customised by incorporating private points of interest.
Valentin Anisimov, HMI system lead in technology at Arrival, said: “After a comprehensive benchmarking process, Arrival came to the conclusion that the navigation SDK from Here is one of the best on the market.
“The quality of the location data coupled with the customisation capabilities of the SDK means that Here is the perfect partner for us. As a result, we’re delighted to provide drivers of Arrival vehicles with the best technology to do their jobs comfortably and efficiently.”
The partnership added this solution will enhance the performance of electric commercial fleets and have a radical impact on climate change as a result.
Knuth Sexauer, vice president for automotive at Here Technologies, said: “We are extremely proud to be partnering with Arrival on tackling the challenge of our times – zero-emissions transport. With Here SDK, Arrival can now offer their drivers a best-in-class routing experience.
“We look forward to helping Arrival realise its goal of making cities cleaner and deliveries faster.”
