Verra Mobility Corporation, a provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced that it has joined the Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance, also known as COVESA. The organization’s goal is to develop open standards and innovative technologies for connected vehicle systems and shape the future of connected vehicles and the mobility ecosystem.
“Verra Mobility is proud to join the COVESA member-driven community to actively help shape and develop open standards and technologies that will unlock the incredible potential and value of connected vehicles,” said Cathi Chinn, VP of Innovation for Verra Mobility’s Commercial Services business. “Connected vehicle capabilities will transform and enhance the vehicle experience for drivers and are an innovation focus for Verra Mobility and the automotive industry as a whole, including global OEMs, tier one suppliers, and other mobility technology ecosystem companies.”
COVESA is comprised of trusted automotive experts and thought leaders working together to accelerate innovation for connected vehicles and create a more diverse, sustainable and integrated mobility ecosystem.
“We are excited to join this respected community to develop new solutions that will make life safer, easier and more connected for our customers and the communities we serve,” Chinn added.
COVESA is the only trade group focused solely on developing open standard approaches and technologies for connected vehicles, which now form a growing percentage of vehicles on the road. Leveraging vehicle data and vehicle-to-cloud connectivity has become a primary goal of automakers and their suppliers.
“Verra Mobility has emerged as a key player in the connected vehicle space,” said Steve Crumb, Executive Director at COVESA. “We are thrilled to have the Verra Mobility team join our community and actively help share the future of connected vehicles.”
Verra Mobility’s Commercial Services business provides managed services – including tolling, violations, and title and registration services – to all types of vehicle fleets. The Company is currently piloting connected vehicle toll payments and other connected services with OEMs and partners.
