Octo sponsors Pramac Moto GP Racing Team

The new Octo Pramac Racing Team will make its debut at the Mugello Moto GP race in Italy

Octo Telematics has become the new title sponsor for the Pramac Moto GP Racing Team. Starting from this weekend’s Moto Grand Prix Race at Mugello (Italy), the team will be officially called the Octo Pramac Racing Team.

After the launch of Octo Rider 1 in March, this new technology partnership with Pramac Racing will allow Octo to test and develop new innovative products and services for scooter and motorcycle drivers.

“The Octo Pramac Racing Team provides an ideal platform to enhance the technological know-how of Octo, allowing it to get closer to end-customers by offering innovative products and services. Every day, our technology allows us to collect and analyse thousands of pieces of data per second and when I think of our Data Centre, I imagine that this information travels on our secure networks with the same reliability and speed as the motorcycles racing on the track,” emphasised Fabio Sbianchi, Octo Telematics CEO.

Paolo Campinoti, CEO of the Pramac Racing Team, replied, “It’s very satisfying to be able to link the name of Pramac and our team to that of a dynamic and innovative company such as Octo Telematics.”

Octo Rider 1 is the first telematics-based insurance product that provides scooter and motorcycle drivers with personalised insurance policies based on the “pay as you drive” concept. The advantages provided by Rider 1, however, are not limited to custom-tailored insurance policies, but also include a series of added value services such as motorbike geo-location, which is useful in case of theft, and emergency service alerts for serious accidents.

Octo Unibox: Park Your Car and Go Public!

Octo’s Unibox/Smart Car and “Park Your Car and Go Public!” for UnipolSAI policyholders in Milan

Octo Telematics is the technological partner of the “Park Your Car and Go Public!” initiative.

The agreement between UnipoSAI, Municipality of Milan, ATM (the Milan Public Transportation System) and technical partner Octo will allow drivers insured with UnipolSAI in Milan, Italy to take advantage of a special offer aimed at reducing city traffic congestion: policyholders will receive a credit of €1,50 – the cost of one public transportation ticket – for every day their vehicles remain parked during peak hours.

The initiative is made possible thanks to Octo’s Unibox/Smart Car telematics device that will be able to monitor which policyholders leave their vehicles at home from Monday to Friday, between 7:30 am and 7:30 pm, for the duration of the three-month initiative*.

Octo’s Unibox/Smart Car is a miniaturized telematics device that not only collects a range of data on vehicle movement, speed and location, but also provides drivers with automated collision, anti-theft and emergency services.

Moreover, drivers who have a Unibox/Smart Car device installed on their vehicles are able to log in to a dedicated area of the Octo Telematics portal, consult all the data collected for their vehicle and contact the service provider directly, if necessary. Octo provides UnipolSAI with five different Unibox configurations for its policyholders: Easy, SuperEasy, Full, Top and Moto. Participants will be able to collect their tickets (for a maximum value of €30) at any ATM ticket machine in Milan by inserting the pin code provided by the insurance company. The “Park Your Car and Go Public!” initiative is an innovative and eco-compatible project that aims to reduce CO2 emissions from traffic congestion and improve quality of life by reducing the time citizens spend in cars. The “Park Your Car and Go Public!” initiative is valid from November 11, 2014 to February 11, 2015.

*The offer is not valid on traffic ban days.
