With a network of over 3.5 million connected vehicles globally, Targa Telematics brings extensive expertise in the vehicle leasing and rental sectors, providing end-to-end solutions that include OEM-connected data, microservices, and managed services. This partnership is expected to enable PVM to maintain complete visibility of critical vehicle information, minimise downtime, and enhance the overall value of its connected fleet assets.

By adopting Targa Telematics’ technology, PVM will gain enhanced insight into the health and performance of its leased vehicles. This will enable PVM to proactively manage risks, such as theft and Vehicle Off-Road (VOR) incidents while providing fleet customers with tools to optimise operational efficiency, control costs, and ensure compliance. Additionally, PVM’s customers will benefit from real-time monitoring and actionable insights that support fleet sustainability and driver safety.

Commenting on the partnership, Chris Horbowyj, UK Commercial Director at Targa Telematics, emphasised the flexibility and functionality of Targa’s solutions. “PVM valued the ability to offer their customers a unified platform to monitor all vehicles, whether through OEM integration or Targa Telematics’ advanced telematics devices,” Horbowyj said. “This provides a seamless experience with full fleet visibility.”

Phil Wilbraham, Group Vice President of Pendragon Vehicle Management, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting the platform’s integration flexibility as a core benefit for PVM’s existing and future customers. “The opportunity to connect OEM integration and Targa Telematics’ devices allows us to support our customers across their fleet as part of a wider service offering,” Wilbraham added.
