AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – Airbiquity (www.airbiquity.com), a leading provider of connected vehicle solutions, today announced its cooperation with Shell, a leading provider of global energy solutions, to act as lead solution integrator for the telematics element of Shell’s new fuel management solution for commercial transport fleet operators: Shell FuelSave Partner.

Shell FuelSave Partner is currently available in the Netherlands, with further market introductions planned throughout the year.
“This announcement demonstrates Airbiquity’s expertise as a leading provider of connected vehicle solutions– from connected cars and navigation devices, to enabling efficient fleet and transportation solutions,” said Justin Saye, Airbiquity VP of European Fleet Services. “Helping to reduce fuel consumption and improve efficiencies is an important undertaking for all companies and being chosen to support Shell in achieving this is particularly rewarding for the company.”
