Milton Keynes, UK, 2 April, 2026 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has launched an enhanced telematics system, Connect Pro, to support fleet managers to optimise their fleets in real time. 

Designed to optimise the functionality of the fleet, reduce costs, and minimise risks, Connect Pro enables real-time visibility for fleet managers.

Key features of the new telematics platform include live vehicle location, route history, average fuel consumption, state of charge, as well as vehicle maintenance demands and warning messages, and online appointment booking with the customer’s Preferred Service Partner for a simplified, integrated approach.

Available to fleets of any size, the customisable digital platform allows greater operational control, reducing the need to visit a Van Centre, thereby minimising driver downtime, as well as delivering Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates on the vehicles.

The new telematics system is available to connect on all Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles models from 2021, to support the management of mixed vehicle fleets through a single, streamlined system.

Rob Holdcroft, Head of Sales at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, commented: “Running an efficient, cost-effective fleet is crucial to maintaining a profitable business, which is why we make it our mission to provide solutions that deliver real impact to our customers. Our new telematics system is designed to increase productivity, reducing driver downtime and optimising fleet productivity so that businesses can get back to what really matters.”

Connect Pro stands alongside Volkswagen’s 5+ Promise proposition – an enhanced warranty and service plan comprising five services, three MOTs, a five-year Warranty and five years’ Roadside Assistance.¹
