Smartcar Partners With BMW Group Europe To Deliver Enhanced Connected Mobility

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smartcar, the leading API platform for connected vehicles, is proud to announce its partnership with BMW Group (BMW) in Europe. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enabling developers and businesses to seamlessly integrate with BMW, Mini, and Rolls Royce vehicles in the region, empowering innovative mobility solutions.

With this partnership, BMW vehicles in Europe will be available through the Smartcar platform, allowing developers and businesses across industries to connect their apps effortlessly.

"We’re excited to partner with BMW to enable seamless connected mobility solutions," said Sahas Katta, CEO of Smartcar. "This collaboration aligns with our mission to unlock the freedom of movement for everyone, empowering developers and businesses to innovate while delivering exceptional experiences for BMW vehicle owners in Europe."

Developers and businesses often encounter challenges integrating with multiple automaker APIs, which can slow innovation and increase maintenance efforts. This new integration enables developers to innovate faster by connecting with leading automakers like BMW using a single Smartcar API.

Developers and businesses interested in connecting to BMW vehicles can explore these new capabilities through Smartcar’s platform, with availability expected this summer.
