Platform Science and Trimble Partner to Accelerate Global Expansion of Virtual Vehicle
Virtual Vehicle is the future-proof operating system that connects any vehicle, device, driver, and solution on one open, developer-friendly platform.
Through this expansion of Virtual Vehicle, customers globally can now choose application solutions from Trimble, Platform Science, and hundreds of existing partners in a rapidly growing catalog without changing hardware.
Virtual Vehicle, the leading open connected vehicle application platform, was developed by Platform Science in collaboration with Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, PACCAR, and other leading OEMs to be a common operating system for transportation.
