French automotive manufacturer PSA Group and 748 Masternaut have formed a partnership that will see the Masternaut Connect telematics platform become more easily accessible to European Peugeot, Citroën, DS connected cars and light commercial vehicles.
 
Masternaut’s services will be available for all PSA Group vehicles through the Connect Fleet Management program, using PSA Group telematics technology. Masternaut’s services can also be used in fleets comprised of other automotive brands, using Masternaut’s nonintrusive, patented CANBus telematics technology.
 
Data from all vehicles is fed back over the air in real-time to the Masternaut Connect online platform. Fleet managers can reduce the total cost of ownership of their fleet through the monitoring of fuel consumption, driver behaviour, emissions or geo-fencing in a consistent and effective way.
