Volta Trucks partners with HERE Technologies to deliver a tailored last-mile electric vehicle navigation system featuring what3words

CES 2022 – #voltatrucks, the leading and disruptive full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer and services provider, has confirmed that the forthcoming Volta Zero will feature integrated navigation services from HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform. The Volta Zero will use #ev Range Assistant, a feature from #HERE tailored for inner-city deliveries. It includes range prediction for trucks on route and allows for route planning including multiple delivery stops. Search, routing, real-time traffic, and turn-by-turn voice guidance will be available both on- and offline. 

HERE Navigation allows Volta Trucks to take advantage of the navigation-as-a-service model to deliver a simplified infotainment supply chain and development process. The benefits include lowering costs, improving scalability, and allows Volta Trucks to deliver a unique In-vehicle-Infotainment (IVI) system that can be remotely configured and monitored by customers, making it possible to consistently update and upgrade the driver experience. Secure data transfer between the #truck and cloud enhances driver safety and privacy, while streaming the latest map data. 

With #HERE Navigation, drivers will be able to use the innovative geolocation technology, what3words. what3words is a simple way to identify a location in a manner that is more precise than a street address. what3words has divided the world into a grid of three-meter squares and given each square a unique combination of three random words: a what3words address. Drivers can enter what3words addresses directly into their in-truck systems, allowing them to easily navigate to locations as specific as building entrances or loading bays – ideal for busy drivers making multiple deliveries in a city. 

Ian Collins, Chief Product Officer of #voltatrucks, said: "I'm delighted to confirm #HERE as the provider of our navigation system for the Volta Zero, including the integration of what3words. #HERE Technologies is another world-class partner for #voltatrucks, delivering the full features of embedded navigation but with the user experience of a mobile navigation application. With #HERE Navigation, we can provide innovative and differentiated experiences to our drivers while simplifying our supply chain – a key benefit supporting our accelerated route to market." 

"We are pleased to be putting the long experience gained working with leading OEMs to good use by helping #voltatrucks offer the best navigation experience to its #truck drivers. Navigating 16-tonnes trucks within city centres is a challenge in itself – with our #truck attributes and our #ev range calculator, Volta Zero drivers can focus on what matters the most – the road ahead," concluded Gino Ferru, General Manager EMEAR and Senior Vice President at #HERE Technologies.
