IoT platform for Tata Motors Connected Vehicles

Bangalore, February 17, 2020, Tata Elxsi, a global design and technology services company, partnered with Tata Motors in developing their unified Connected Vehicle Platform that powers the Nexon EV range of electric cars.

With a collaborative approach, Tata Motors & Tata Elxsi developed a cloud-based IoT Platform which provides Tata Motors with a common standard technology stack that delivers the scalability and high performance required to support the entire range of electric, commercial, and passenger vehicles.

Tata Motors is in the process of offering the connected Vehicle feature as a key differentiator to most of its BS6 range of Passenger & Commercial Vehicles. Nexon EV, “India’s own Electric SUV,” is the very first application-enabled vehicle with several connected vehicle features.
