Partnership brings hardware-free insights to fleets and dealerships, improving safety, operations, and sustainability
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorq, the leader in Connected Vehicle Intelligence, and Volvo Cars today announced a partnership to make real-time embedded vehicle data and insights available to fleets and dealerships across the United States and Europe. The integration expands Motorq's existing footprint of more than 10 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnerships and underscores the industry shift from aftermarket telematics hardware to direct-from-vehicle intelligence.
For automotive fleets and dealerships, up-to-the-minute data and insights on vehicle health and performance is critical to controlling costs, reducing downtime, and meeting sustainability goals. Traditionally, this required installing aftermarket devices - an expensive, slow, and failure-prone approach. Now, wireless connectivity built directly into vehicles is changing that.
With this partnership, Volvo Cars' embedded data now flows securely into Motorq's platform, where AI-powered models generate insights from the vehicle's data stream. Customers gain access to insights such as diagnostics, battery health, charging patterns, driver behavior, and maintenance alerts to optimize operations, improve safety, and extend vehicle life.
"The next phase of mobility runs on embedded connectivity with AI at the core," said Arun Rajagopalan, CEO and Co-Founder of Motorq. "Volvo Cars and Motorq are accelerating this shift, by providing trusted data, that are helping us predict issues, optimize EV charging, and enable programs that simply weren't possible in the past. And with turnkey enrollment and no hardware to install, customers can launch at scale in just a fraction of the time."
"Motorq's Connected Vehicle Intelligence platform aligns with Volvo Cars' vision for connected, safe, and sustainable mobility," said Jonas Ronnkvist, Head of Data Business & Strategy at Volvo Cars. "With this partnership, our fleet and dealership customers can access insights directly from vehicles in near real-time, with additional insights that support efficiency, safety, and sustainability."
The integration is live today. Commercial fleets and dealerships can begin accessing connected vehicle insights and workflows immediately through Motorq's software portal, APIs, and data integration services.
