SaverOne, a leader in safety systems aimed at preventing distracted driving, has announced a pivotal partnership with IVECO, a brand under Iveco Group N.V., known for its wide range of commercial vehicles. This collaboration is formalized through an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement, setting the stage for SaverOne's innovative technology to be incorporated into IVECO's 2024 truck models. This integration represents a critical advancement in the ongoing effort to reduce distracted driving incidents among commercial vehicle operators.
The initial phase of this partnership will focus on embedding SaverOne's software into IVECO's hardware for the 2024 model year. Looking ahead, the alliance may expand to include the integration of SaverOne's mobile app with IVECO's app, alongside the potential incorporation of SaverOne's hardware and software directly into IVECO's assembly line. The first batch of IVECO vehicles featuring SaverOne's integrated software solution is anticipated to hit the market later this year, offering a new layer of safety for drivers.
Fabrizio Conicella, Head of Digital and Advanced Technology at Iveco Group, highlighted the significance of this partnership, noting, 'This collaboration with SaverOne reflects Iveco Group's commitment to pioneering safety and innovation in transportation. By integrating SaverOne's technology into our trucks, we are taking a bold step towards ensuring our customers have access to the safest, most reliable, and efficient vehicles available.' SaverOne's technology is designed to automatically detect mobile devices in the driver's vicinity, blocking access to messaging and other distracting apps while the vehicle is in motion. In the event of a phone disconnection, the system triggers an alarm to alert the driver, thereby mitigating potential risks.
With its technology already deployed in over 4,500 vehicles across cars, trucks, and buses, and integrated into the fleets of more than 100 companies globally, SaverOne's partnership with IVECO is poised to significantly amplify the impact of its distracted driving prevention solutions.
