What Is Chleon?

Chleon has built the world's most advanced connected platform for cars to keep you safe, informed and entertained. To bring the love back into motoring. Your drives will never be the same again.

Apps and Content Platform

For the driver, Chleon means getting the latest driver-centric Apps and Content and always being connected to high-speed Internet. This includes the latest infotainment services, driver assistance and accurate vehicle diagnostics.

Diagnostics and Analytics Platform

From the server, Chleon's powerful telematics solution provides managed and secure real-time car data. This serves a range of purposes, such as detailed car usage for car-makers, app reports for developers and driver behaviour for insurance companies.


Use Cases

Chleon, Location Based Audio

Location-Based Audio

App developers can use the car's location to create location-sensitive audio playlists by mashing podcasts, music or news associated with a certain area, road or highway. For example: Best of Brooklyn Bridge, Abbey Road, Route 66 or Area 51.


Chleon, New Product Development

New Product Development

An electric car manufacturer wants to develop longer-lasting batteries and also encourage drivers to adopt a more energy-efficient driving style. With Chleon's platform, the car manufacturer can use real-time driver behaviour data and battery usage analytics for both these needs. It can coach the driver with direct feedback for efficient acceleration and braking as well as collect battery usage data for product enhancements.


Chleon, Breakdown Services

Breakdown Services

A car suddenly breaks down. The car's diagnostics system reports a broken gearbox. The IVI system automatically searches for the nearest service station with an available service slot and provides its contact details and location. The driver books the service appointment and tow truck using the head unit's touch screen.


Why Chleon?

At Chleon, we believe that all cars should be connected per se.
We need a platform for the ultimate connected car.
That's why we made Chleon. And that's why you need Chleon.

Partners

Why partner with Chleon? Chleon gives you the world's first real-time automotive demand generation and forecasting solution. Partner with Chleon and let the cars find you. Here are a few examples of our current partnerships:

Auto insurance companies

For an insurance company, the benefits of usage-based insurance (UBI) are obvious. However, the initial high cost of introducing a UBI product to the market significantly hinders it's mass deployment. With the Chleon platform, UBI is simply an app. With such a negligible initial outlay, Chleon is the best partner to rapidly make UBI a mass market product.

Car part suppliers

As a car parts supplier, wouldn't it be fantastic if you were able to reliably forecast by car model what parts (like a headlight bulb) were going to fail – when and where? This would enable you to optimise your production and logistics and make it optimally just-in-time. Chleon's diagnostics and analytics platform (C-DAP™) helps you do just that.

Auto-maintenance

At any given time, there are millions of cars on the road that could be classified as neglected or “having seen better days”. Their drivers are either oblivious to the needs of their cars, or simply too busy to take the necessary care. The Chleon platform enables match-making between the car and it's needs, resulting in not only satisfied customers but also a significant improvement in your auto maintenance business. This new business model introduces a more proactive and profitable service level to increase your customer base and its loyalty.

New business development

The possibilities with Chleon are virtually endless. If you have an idea for a new service on our platform, contact us at partner@chleon.com
