FMS is thus the standardized exposure of a set of vehicle operations related data points enabling the development of diverse services for fleet management and adjacent fields. This is necessary since the commercial vehicle ecosystem contains many players comprising OEMs and different suppliers. Since FMS is limited to a subset of the rich pool of vehicle data (coming with the software centric transition), opening access to these data will require much more efforts. COVESA is an open platform that targets the creation of such open API standards.
