Presentation Objectives
 Review progress to-date of European
Telematics Market
 Describe services offered, systems in
use and standards.
 Allow time for questions and
discussion
 Understanding of Europe

 Europe is the sixth-largest of seven


continents, extending west from the
Dardanelles, Black Sea, and Ural Mountains
to Iceland.
 In etymology one theory suggests the
name Europe is derived from the Greek
words meaning broad (eurys) and face
(opsis)—broad having been another word for
Earth in the reconstructed Proto-Indo-
European religion.

What is the market today in Europe


 Safety Systems and Services – Four automotive OEMs offering
services, but most waiting for final directive on eCall
 Security – High-end cars in some European markets equipped with
tracking systems, but take up of medium- and low-priced models is very
low. Also, personal security devices, like mobile tracking on phones, are
beginning to be purchased in large numbers. Volvo only OEM system.
 Convenience – Navigation systems have taken hold on high-end
vehicles and in the mass market with portable systems. OEMs will have
to offer more services to stay competitive with the lower-cost systems.
 Vehicle Services – Just getting started in some brands (BMW).
 Pay-per-Use Insurance – UK and Italy are the major markets. Other
markets just getting started. Allianz, the largest insurer in Europe, will
eventually be the biggest player.

Update on eCall – Previous Standards October 14, 2008

EC Directives

 Decision 91/396/EEC introduced the single European


emergency call number 112 (effective from 1992)

 Directive 2002/22/EC, the Universal Service Directive, requires


operators to make caller location information (CLI) available to
authorities handling emergencies, to the extent technically
feasible, for all calls made to the single European emergency call
number 112.

 Directive 2002/58/EC, the Directive on privacy and electronic


communications establishes exemption to privacy protection for
organizations dealing with emergency calls

Status of EC’s public eCall initiative October 14, 2008

Decision Current status

Manufacturer ACEA made voluntary fitment offer to EC – with many requirements


position

Member States Finland & Netherlands likely to be early adopter


position Other countries stalling

Technology In-band modem to be selected by end October 2008


Standardisation by mid-2009

Timing Earliest possible start date for voluntary fitment is 2012


(3 years after technology is decided)

Conclusion Market driven roll-out of eCall is starting


This is likely to be sufficient to avoid regulation and to avoid
stringent voluntary fitment requirements

 The principal target

that may be outsourced

 There has been steady but


low growth of integrated
navigation systems since
early 2000.
 PNDs began their hockey
stick growth in 2005 when the
inflection point was reached.
 Aftermarket, integrated
systems are gradually
disappearing from the
market. The same is true of
the non-connected mobile
devices (PDAs)
 Smartphone (including
BlackBerry-type devices, are
beginning their growth spurt.

 The German automotive TPEG through the ability to use of the event
companies are co-operating on codes from RDS-TMC
making TPEG work with
Terrestrial-DAB. The rest of
the car industry will follow along
the TPEG and digital.
 The main advantages of TPEG
over RDS-TMC are:
• There are no TMC Location
Code Tables to maintain
• Detailed coverage can extend to
urban areas
• Messages are more BMW and a group of German companies have
cooperated in Mobile.Info to prove the value of a
comprehensive, not just traffic digital radio traffic information service.
