SaverOne, a leader in safety systems aimed at preventing distracted driving, has announced a pivotal partnership with IVECO, a brand under Iveco Group N.V., known for its wide range of commercial vehicles. This collaboration is set to integrate SaverOne's innovative distracted driving prevention technology into IVECO's 2024 truck models, signaling a major advancement in road safety for commercial transportation.
The original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement between the two companies will initially focus on embedding SaverOne's software into IVECO's hardware for the 2024 model year. Future expansions of the partnership may include the integration of SaverOne's mobile app with IVECO's app, along with the direct incorporation of SaverOne's hardware and software into IVECO's assembly line. The first vehicles featuring this integrated solution are anticipated to hit the market later this year.
Fabrizio Conicella, Head of Digital and Advanced Technology at Iveco Group, highlighted the significance of this partnership, emphasizing Iveco Group's commitment to pioneering safety and innovation in transportation. The integration of SaverOne's technology into IVECO trucks is expected to offer customers not only reliability and efficiency but also enhanced safety features.
SaverOne's technology is designed to mitigate the risks of distracted driving by automatically detecting mobile devices in the driver's vicinity and blocking access to distracting apps while the vehicle is in motion. In the event of a phone disconnection, the system alerts the driver with an alarm, further promoting road safety. Already implemented in over 4,500 vehicles across more than 100 companies globally, SaverOne's technology is proving to be a critical tool in the fight against distracted driving.
This partnership between SaverOne and IVECO represents a significant milestone in the commercial vehicle industry, offering a glimpse into the future of transportation where safety and technology go hand in hand. For more information on SaverOne's technology, visit https://www.saverone.com.
