MILAN and IRVINE, Calif., April
23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LoJack Italia, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP) and a leader in stolen vehicle
recovery and innovative automotive services, today announced it has
signed an agreement with Quadro Vehicles S.A., a Swiss manufacturer
of three-wheel compact vehicles and QOODER, the only four-wheeled
scooter in the world. Quadro Vehicles registered in Italy and France will be integrated with the LoJack
Connect technology enabling riders to view real-time vehicle status
via a new SmartRider™ application on their smartphones. There is a
planned future rollout of the technology and app on Quadro vehicles
in other European countries.
Quadro Vehicles feature the HTS Hydraulic Tilting
SystemTM and have a low center of gravity to
ensure safe handling. This agreement builds on their technology
advancements by allowing the integration of LoJack Connect
technology, powered by CalAmp's Telematics Cloud service, into
Quadro's three-wheel and QOODER four-wheel "Web Edition" section
sold through online channels. The LoJack Connect technology
and stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) services provide drivers with
sophisticated mobility capabilities, peace of mind and a greater
insight into vehicle status and location.
"This partnership demonstrates another innovation milestone for
Quadro. The agreement with LoJack Italia allows us to offer to our
customers a complete cutting-edge telematics solution to monitor
and manage their vehicle," said Paolo
Gagliardo, CEO of Quadro Vehicles S.A. "Our vehicles are the
expression of a new concept of advanced mobility, which attracts
the most progressive users looking to venture into new horizons of
driving safely and comfortably."
LoJack Italia developed a custom SmartRider app allowing drivers
to always stay connected to their vehicles via their smartphones.
The app provides detailed information including route tracking,
mileage, battery status and localization capabilities. If the
vehicle is stolen, drivers have one-click access to a 24/7 command
center that will facilitate the activation of the LoJack SVR system
and notify local law enforcement to initiate a search.
"LoJack Connect and the SmartRider application further enhance
Quadro's innovative vehicle technology by strengthening security
and enabling riders to always stay connected with valuable
diagnostics and location information," said Maurizio Iperti, CEO of LoJack Italia. "We are
excited to expand our reach into new vehicle classes and regional
market areas through our partnership with Quadro and their
extensive dealer network."
