Press Release: Nokia Corporation’s HERE partners with Mercedes Benz, Continental Corporation and Magneti Marelli.

ESPOO, Finland – HERE, a Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) business, today announced ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show that it has partnered with the Mercedes-Benz division of Daimler and two of the world’s leading automotive system integrators, Continental Corporation and Magneti Marelli. These partners are building on the HERE Connected Driving framework to offer individual connected products and services that go beyond navigation to meet their differing needs.

Connecting the car to the cloud is one of the biggest opportunities for the automotive industry today. Connectivity will allow cars to compute real time information on demand so that the vehicle can take over more aspects of driving ultimately creating an entirely new class of services. At the same time, technology is advancing so rapidly that what appears cutting edge today will be commonplace tomorrow. Automakers and system integrators alike need a partner who understands their needs, offers them flexibility and can stay ahead of fast moving technology cycles.

With a long history in supplying maps for the automotive industry, HERE is well positioned to help car makers and in-vehicle technology suppliers create connected cars.
