Italy-based Targa 6224 Telematics (TT) has launched a new device with the intention of meeting the quality and cybersecurity standards imposed by car makers as well as the needs of car rental companies. Called Targa Plexer Smart, its microprocessors are said to enable edge computing and artificial intelligence functionalities to help reduce data transfer costs.  


The tool allows users to collect a mass of information and deliver multiple services. It includes a series of interfaces which can connect to the devices used by renters to offer mobility services or a full self-service car rental system. Targa Plexer Smart also comes with the option of remote rapid software updates through incremental, partial or specific modes.

Nicola De Mattia, CEO of TT, said: "Targa Plexer Smart’s versatility makes it a strategic instrument that can support change in our partners’ processes and business models. With this product we have achieved a very ambitious goal, since it can be installed on all vehicles in circulation in any market and represents a great result in terms of innovation".
