The company's commitment to development will also be maintained, especially by adding features based on Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to this, signs of fatigue or lack of focus while driving can be detected earlier.

Additionally, a driving behavior monitoring system based on the Global Positioning System will also be implemented to support eco-driving practices. It will also track the carbon footprint generated from each trip.
