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.
