How it works

Cargo is an IoT platform enabling developers to create automotive focused applications without worrying about the hardware or cloud infrastructure required to “plug in” to the car’s massive data store. We can run your app both in the cloud and directly in the car. No tethered mobile phone required.

APIs

Cargo offers APIs for many common tasks such as vehicle tracking, maintainence & service, and social driving. Apps are up and running in a matter of minutes.

Hardware

Cargo is powerful and customizable. It plugs into the vehicle, connects directly to the cloud, and securely runs apps in the car, integrating a wide array of sensors.
