Renault and TomTom announce partnership
A partnership deal has been struck him between Renault and TomTom to bring navigational aid to customers of certain models.The intention is to bring in fully integrated in-car navigation systems.
Such facilities have enjoyed large growth in the last four years within the consumer market.
Renault claims to be the first car maker to have fully integrated navigation systems, as far back as 1994.
Harold Goddijn, chief executive officer of TomTom, said that the teaming up with Renault would enable a "far broader audience" to benefit from the company's navigational solutions.
Renault executive vice president Patrick Pelata said the new system would cost about 500 euros (£397).
Further details of the new product will be released next year.
TomTom recently said that use of satnav technology increases drivers' awareness and reduces their stress levels.
Spokesperson Jenny Hodge said that research by the company, carried out with TNO, had made the findings and also said 74 per cent of drivers feel more in control when using a satnav.
