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".
