Samsara strikes telematics integration deal with Stellantis

Samsara has struck a deal with Mobilisights to integrate directly with built-in telematics hardware in Stellantis vehicles, including models from Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën and Fiat.

The integration applies to most vehicles manufactured after 2024, plus select models from 2018–2024, including electric and commercial vehicles.

Fleet operators will be able to connect Stellantis vehicles to Samsara’s platform without the need for additional hardware installation to gain instant access to data, such as GPS location, mileage, and fuel levels. 

By entering a vehicle identification number (VIN), Samsara says that onboarding a new vehicle is quick, seamless, and entirely remote.

“By eliminating the need for aftermarket hardware, this integration simplifies vehicle onboarding and ensures tamper-proof telematics access,” explained Paul George, director of OEM at Samsara. 

“We’re excited to work with Mobilisights to deliver real-time data insights that empower European businesses to operate more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.”

As the second largest automotive manufacturer in Europe, Stellantis accounts for approximately 17% of vehicle sales across Europe.

Sebastien Fraysse, vice president EMEA sales at Mobilisights, said: “By combining Samsara’s expertise in connected operations with data harmonisation powered by Mobilisights’ platform, we’re enabling fleet-based businesses across Europe to seamlessly access critical and actionable vehicle data. 

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering innovative, data-driven solutions that drive better outcomes for our customers.”
