GM Holden, the Australian subsidiary of General Motors has partnered with Intelematics since 2001 for the delivery of its Holden Assist telematics programs. In Oct 2006 the Holden Assist program was expanded with the launch of three new telematics packages, Holden Assist Ultra, Holden Assist Secure and GM FleetView. Fully GM LAN integrated, the expanded functionality reflects the widespread availability of low cost mobile data communications and the emerging need of motorists and fleet managers for market specific solutions.
