↗ TOPMOTIVE NEXT makes the life of a mechanic much easier by providing their workshops with live data from vehicles. With that, they can work more efficiently and offer much more precise services. For instance identifying service needs, remote diagnostics, and resulting impacts on the entire service process. It is the first generation of a self-learning information system for workshops. The product is based on data from the CARUSO Dataplace and represents the first market player connected with the vehicle manufacturer’s telematics backend.

Providing adequate help for victims of traffic accidents has been becoming progressively harder for emergency helpers in the past few years, especially for firefighters. Depending on the car’s technology, different tools have to be used and brought to the accident site. The data delivered through the CARUSO Dataplace – such as vehicle type, engine coolant temperature and doors and lock status – can be easily accessed by the rescue team even en-route to the crash site. They thereby saving time and allowing them to reach the crash site armed with vital information that can make the rescue comparatively easier and safer.

Want to go on vacation and the car’s service inspection lamp goes on is truly annoying. How about an app that makes life easier because it saves time and resources? Users can book their slot at the workshop and the workshop already knows potential issues. In the best case, the mechanics can even order spare parts in advance. All resulting in the owner getting their car back much faster and planning better ahead.

If a car stops in middle of the highway, the last thing the driver needs is to wait hours to get help. The “Help my Car App” provides roadside assistance by informing the assistance operator of the automobile club about in-vehicle data in advance. With such information, decisions can be made before the mechanic arrives at the scene. For example which spare parts are needed, whether the car must be towed or in which case a rental car can be provided.
