Fisker chooses TomTom to power navigation system for world's first premium electric vehicle
Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas, NV, January 10, 2012 – TomTom today announces a license agreement with
Fisker Automotive, the California manufacturer of premium electric vehicles with extended range. Under the three-year
agreement, TomTom will provide the Fisker Karma sedan with map and location content covering North America (US and
Canada), as well as Europe. The agreement encompasses the core map; Points of Interest; and Voice Maps, which are used to
support text-to-speech and voice recognition for address input of the navigation system. All of this location content is available
via a Command Center – the industry's first 10.2" touch screen interface which controls navigation, as well as climate,
infotainment, phone and additional secondary systems.
'Winning this deal with Fisker, a new and innovative car manufacturer, highlights TomTom's position in the market as the leader
in delivering the most accurate maps and location content globally,' said Charles Cautley, Managing Director TomTom
Automotive and Licensing. 'By partnering with Fisker, TomTom is providing Fisker Karma drivers with location information that
will support all their navigation needs.'
The Fisker Karma is the world's first premium electric plug-in hybrid. The Karma is being sold in North America through a
network of premium brand retailers and globally through luxury importers.
