7352 SAP, Shell and 994 Volkswagen are to collaborate on a co-innovation pilot to investigate how connected vehicles would interact with the world around them. The ongoing pilot in Hannover, Germany, aims to lay the foundations for a range of services including an integrated system for connected fuelling.

The three companies are piloting an end-to-end scalable solution with the aim of delivering a hosted cloud-based solution that saves time and delivers new, exciting customer offers through connected vehicles that could not be delivered by the three companies individually.

The pilot, the first time that SAP, Shell and Volkswagen have collaborated, forms the basis of discussion for further collaborations for connected vehicles between the three companies and others.
