We’re excited to announce that we’re partnering 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.
It’s been a decade since Smartcar became the industry standard for mobility businesses to integrate their solutions with automakers while keeping data privacy top of mind. We’re so excited to strengthen this commitment with BMW Europe and deliver more reliable, secure, and connected mobility solutions to drivers in the region.
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."
What does this mean for Smartcar customers?
Integrating with multiple automaker APIs has traditionally been a roadblock, slowing down development and adding complexity. With these improved partner integrations, businesses and developers can accelerate innovation, effortlessly connecting to top automakers like BMW through the Smartcar API.
This partnership adds to our existing integration, making it more reliable and resilient without any additional work on our customer’s end.
Think of it as every other compatibility update that we introduce to our API. As always, we roll out improvements automatically, ensuring your integration stays up-to-date without disruptions, contractual adjustments, or additional engineering work.
As your integration partner, we want to help you build, maintain, and manage a powerful data infrastructure for your product. Your engineers don’t have to lose sleep over vehicle integrations.
The standard for collaborative mobility innovation
This partnership marks an exciting milestone in the connected car ecosystem, unlocking more possibilities for collaboration between automakers and third-party developers.
We’re honored to have BMW Europe join us on this journey to shape a future of mobility where consumer choice takes center stage. The potential we can unlock together is vast, empowering drivers with solutions that enhance road safety, reduce costs, lower carbon footprints, and improve transportation accessibility.
Customers interested in connecting to BMW vehicles can explore these new capabilities through Smartcar’s platform, with availability expected this summer.
