Reportlinker Adds Deployment of Mandatory Telematics in Brazil - Lessons Learnt and Market Trends 2011
NEW YORK, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Deployment of mandatory telematics in Brazil - Lessons learnt and market trends 2011
Legislation to power Brazil to #1 slot for telematics fitment
The Brazilian government has introduced legislation to tackle the very high levels of vehicle crime through a program called SIMRAV. SBD have produced a new report which provides an extensive overview of the progress made towards the mandatory fitment of telematics systems to all new vehicles in Brazil as a part of SIMRAV. Around 25 million vehicles are anticipated to be equipped by the end of 2015 and Stolen Vehicle Recovery subscribers could exceed 2.5 million by 2013.
The attitudes of different car manufacturers in meeting this legislation are analysed to show which are doing the minimum necessary to comply with the new legislation and which are taking the opportunity to provide added-value services to their customers.
The report also reviews the roadblocks to providing additional services in what is a relatively immature market for telematics, and looks at the lessons learnt by the government during the 3½ years they have spent developing SIMRAV.
This report will help you:
n Predict the SIMRAV launch date and understand the deployment status over the past 12 months
n Develop your strategic response to SIMRAV by comparing telematics services of 20 leading vehicle manufacturers
n Identify and analyse key suppliers of in-vehicle hardware and SVR services and their relationships with OEMs
n Prepare for the forecasted growth in the Brazilian automotive market and explore the potential for value added services
In July 2007, the Brazilian government signalled their intention to tackle persistently high levels of vehicle crime by mandating fitment of an anti-theft system to all new vehicles. In addition to the function of an electronic immobiliser, this system must include the capability to provide Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) and remote immobilisation telematics services. The program to introduce the anti-theft systems is called SIMRAV and is due to be phased-in from May 2011.
However, the government under-estimated both the amount of time required to define and validate the systems, and the degree of objections from both public and industry sources. Public objections were focused on concerns over invasion of privacy and the fact that, for many people, they would be forced into paying more for features on a new car that they would never use. A federal court judge upheld the privacy complaints and the government was forced to adopt a more conciliatory approach.
Vehicle manufacturers in Brazil are faced with a choice; do they implement the minimum required telematics services (SVR and remote immobilisation), or do they try and offer added-value services to the end user. Current approaches vary, with some OEMs seeing SIMRAV as a 'necessary evil', while others see potential in using telematics as a brand differentiator. With bullish growth forecasts, Brazil is a market where there is profit to be made in what remain uncertain times.
This report answers the following key questions:
n Is the Brazilian government still serious about tackling vehicle crime with this legislation and is the current introduction schedule likely to be achieved?
n Will Brazilian consumers actually 'activate' the telematics device in their vehicle and sign up to SVR, or will the device simply remain dormant for the life of the vehicle?
n What are the attitudes of different OEMs to telematics fitment – which are doing the minimum required to meet the legislation and which are using the opportunity to offer additional services to their customers?
n What are the obstacles faced by OEMs that want to offer additional services (beyond the mandatory SVR and remote immobilisation) from their telematics systems?
n Which hardware providers have won significant amounts of new business with OEMs to supply the telematics systems?
n Which service providers have been approved by the Brazilian government and are able to offer SVR services to new vehicle owners?
n What technical challenges are posed by the requirement that any SIMRAV-equipped vehicle must be capable of communicating with any service provider, using any mobile network operator?
More than 5.5 million vehicles (including 2.6 million new cars) were sold in 2010, an all time record, and Brazil overtook Germany to become the 4th largest global market for new cars.
