HERE Technologies today announced that Dacia, a Renault brand and the leading retail brand in Europe last year, has selected HERE Navigation to power the All-New Duster, Dacia’s iconic sport utility vehicle (SUV), and New Spring, Europe’s most affordable electric car.
HERE Navigation is a cloud-based navigation application for connected vehicles. With it, Dacia All-New Duster and New Spring drivers will benefit from automotive-grade maps, online and offline search, real-time traffic information, and turn-by-turn voice guidance in an easy-to-use interface. The application’s over-the-air update capabilities deliver drivers the freshest map content and latest service updates.
With its simple interface, clear design, and connectivity, HERE Navigation delivers the ease-of-use of smartphone applications while providing a seamless experience through its integration into the car’s digital cockpit. HERE Navigation is optimized to meet a vast array of hardware needs and enables a comparatively low data footprint with its option to cache maps.
“Thanks to HERE Navigation, Dacia customers now benefit from online navigation with an always up-to-date map and traffic information,” said Damien Laplane, Dacia Cross Car Line and Brand Experience Leader.
“We are proud that the Renault Group has chosen HERE Navigation for its Dacia All-New Duster flagship model and New Spring electric car, so that drivers will get to enjoy an all-inclusive navigation experience that stays up to date,” said Gino Ferru, SVP and General Manager EMEA at HERE Technologies. “We look forward to expanding our collaboration with Dacia and Renault for additional models in the future.”
