Berg Insight: 2.2 Mln Passenger Cars in Europe Fitted with On-Board Telematics Service by 2007
 
Approximately 2.2 million passenger cars in Europe had an on-board telematics device at the end of 2007, according to market research firm Berg Insight. Stolen vehicle tracking is the main application, followed by automatic emergency call, driver assistance and motor insurance-related telematics. The telematics market is entering a growth phase, according to Berg Insight, the penetration rate is still below 1 percent of the total car park, so there is a huge untapped potential, and the major breakthrough for telematics in Europe will come with the introduction of the eCall system proposed by the European Commission.
