    Platform Overview

    Platform Science is redefining fleet telematics with their Virtual Vehicle platform—software-defined telematics that unlocks vehicle signals without aftermarket hardware. Their April 2024 $125M round brought strategic investment from Daimler Truck, PACCAR, Cummins, and major carriers (C.R. England, Schneider). The platform processes 1 trillion+ data points annually across 6 billion miles. February 2025 acquisition of Trimble's telematics business significantly expands their scale. OEM partnerships with Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, and PACCAR differentiate them from aftermarket-only solutions.
