Volvo On Call in North America – powered by WirelessCar
Volvo Car’s core brand value and vision is no fatal or severe injuries in a Volvo. WirelessCar now contributes to that vision in North America with Volvo On Call now being standard in all Volvos sold in the US and Canada.
WirelessCar is delivering a full-featured industry-leading complete embedded telematics solution, based on WirelessCar’s proven Telematics Service Provider architecture, with 14 years of production service around the world in all other major and developing consumer telematics markets.
“As WirelessCar’s first consumer OEM customer operational since 2000, the Volvo On Call launch in North America further extends the already foundational relationship enjoyed by WirelessCar and Volvo Cars. WirelessCar continues to be Volvo Cars telematics partner of choice and strongest support partner in the complex global telematics ecosystem, where Volvo Cars and WirelessCar are leading in global market coverage and number of operational telematics countries.” says Martin Rosell, Managing Director WirelessCar
“This is fully in line with our ambitions to become leaders in connectivity in which the Volvo on Call plays a vital role”, says Robert Jagler, Director Connectivity Volvo Cars.
Through this, Volvo Cars is able to deliver many safety and security services such as: Emergency-Call, Remote Door Unlock, Theft Notification, Stolen Vehicle Tracking and Immobilization. Other services made possible are: Smartphone-based Telematics Services powered by the WirelessCar architecture using a flexible smartphone application programming interface, which Volvo Cars will make available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone platforms.
The service Vehicle Finder shows the current location of a Volvo on a map along with reverse-geocoded address. The Engine Remote Start will allow a Volvo owner to pre-condition their vehicle with heat or air conditioning prior to entering the vehicle. Honk & Flash will help find a Volvo in large parking areas and the Driving Journal discretely tracks each drive cycle including start and finish locations and times, duration and distance as well as the fuel used.
