Our integrated solutions will help automotive manufacturers accelerate their global connected vehicle solutions and offer a better experience for drivers and passengers.

Ericsson’s Connected Vehicle Cloud has over 10% share in the global connected vehicle market, with about 4 million vehicles connected across 180 countries. It offers a guaranteed service-level agreement to ensure continuous operation without any breakdowns and lifecycle management of connected vehicles.
