General Motors Fleet will begin offering 4G LTE internet service with its fleet vehicles through data plans under a new partnership with AT&T announced at the Solutions Summit 2018 model year fleet preview in Las Vegas.

Customers with GM Fleet corporate accounts will be able to activate 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspots in GM vehicles starting this summer. Fleets will be able to share unlimited data across its vehicles and receive simplified invoices and centralized billing.

The data plans will be available in most Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles, GM announced. It won't be available with Chevrolet's Low Cab Forward models. General Motors will negotiate pricing with individual customers.

"Customers using an OnStar 4G LTE connection can help make their company vehicle drivers more customer-focused and productive, so the growth potential is huge," said Ed Peper, GM Fleet's U.S. vice president. "Working with AT&T, we will enable our business customers to receive all the benefits of high-speed connectivity with more flexibility and less paperwork using the shared unlimited data plan capability."

Each vehicle will support up to seven smartphones, tablets and laptops that can connect to the vehicle from up to 50 feet away.

As part of the plan, commercial users will be able to access unlimited data plans, share data across vehicles, and add vehicle plans to existing AT&T corporate accounts.

"With this capability, businesses can more quickly and more securely share data, better attend to customers, boost productivity and maximize efficiencies," said Joe Mosele, AT&T's vice president of Internet of Things solutions. "This will be transformative for companies that need to get things done outside the office. It's just the beginning of new enterprise options that we plan to bring to business customers."

GM launched its 4G LTE Wi-Fi service through OnStar in 2014 and now counts more than 5 million 4G ...Read the rest of this story

Jeffrey Rosen Confirmed as Deputy Secretary of Transportation

The Senate has confirmed Jeffrey Rosen to serve as the Deputy Secretary at the Department of Transportation, serving under Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Rosen was President Trump's pick for the position and he was confirmed by a 56-42 vote. In the role, he will supervise day to day operations at the U.S. DOT.

Rosen is a senior partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, an international commercial law firm dealing in complex litigation, corporate and tax, intellectual property, restructuring, and counseling matters. This has included cases involving regulatory matters such as contracts, antitrust, securities, RICO, business torts, enforcement action and product liability, including class actions, according to Whitehouse.gov.

Rosen previously served with the U.S. DOT as the department's chief legal officer where he oversaw the activities of over 400 lawyers. For that position, he was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.

Rosen faced some opposition from Senate Democrats who disagree with the administration's proposed goals of cutting infrastructure grant programs, according to The Hill.

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del) released a statement on Rosen's successful nomination opposing the appointment stating, “Mr. Rosen has a long history of advocating for the rollback of commonsense regulations that keep Americans healthy and safe.”

“He has not only opposed regulating greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, he has challenged the very science behind climate change. The man seeking to be the second in command at the Department of Transportation has opposed addressing dangerous pollutants emitted from cars and trucks, which are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. transportation sector.”

New EU Rule Aims to Boost “Transparency” of Truck MPG

A new European Union procedure for determining emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 from new trucks has won praise from a key industry group for its expected positive impact on transparency.

The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association said it “welcomes [the procedure] as an important step to introduce more transparency to the market – ultimately leading to reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions” from commercial vehicles.

The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) is the Brussels, Belgium-based trade association of the 15 major car, van, truck and bus producers in Europe. Its membership includes DAF Trucks, Daimler Trucks, Iveco, MAN Truck & Bus, Scania, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and Volvo Group.

The new regulation, approved in May by member states in the EU's regulatory committee, will require CO2 emissions from new trucks to be calculated per “harmonized and certified procedures.” EAMA said the European Commission has developed a computer calculation tool, called Vecto, to model CO2 emissions from a wide variety of complete truck and trailer configurations using various heavy-duty vehicle cycles.

“Using Vecto data, the EU legislation on the calculation of CO2 from trucks will require a declaration of CO2 values for each vehicle produced for the EU market,” EAMA said in a statement. This will in turn provide “a credible, standardized way of comparing fuel efficiency across all brands.”

“This will be a major game-changer, as it will help transport operators choose the most fuel-efficient vehicle more easily, thereby significantly reducing CO2,” said ACEA Secretary General Erik Jonnaert. “It will also lead to increased transparency and competition among manufacturers to develop the most fuel-efficient vehicles, driving the market uptake of the cleanest vehicles.”

Jonnaert pointed out that the EU market is diverse and complex, with “trucks usually tailor-made to customers' specific orders or ...Read the rest of this story
