Integrated Smart Solutions
Elaborating on the latest innovations, Natarajan Srinivasan, CEO, myTVS highlighted three core themes that drive this transformation—integrated diagnostics, quick commerce supply chain, and 24x7 fleet management.
The first theme focuses on seamlessly integrating multiple modular solutions into a comprehensive vehicle intelligence system. This combines information clusters, infotainment systems, vehicle diagnostics, and scanning technologies, enabling real-time monitoring and proactive issue resolution.
The second theme introduces a ‘quick commerce’ model, an industry-first approach to streamlining the automotive supply chain. This model is powered by two key components—the dark store, which optimizes inventory and logistics, and the hypermarket, a consumption-driven system ensuring that demand is met at the point of service, such as garages. By integrating these elements, the solution enhances parts availability, reduces downtime, and ensures seamless service delivery.
The third innovation is an advanced 24x7 fleet management solution, a technology-agnostic platform designed for both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EVs). This AI-powered system enhances battery management, vehicle safety, and driver behaviour monitoring, integrating ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to track issues such as over-speeding and driver fatigue. Its versatility makes it applicable across heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and even off-road construction equipment. With the rapid adoption of EVs in quick commerce, this solution is particularly valuable for fleet operators managing high-demand electric two- and three-wheelers.
Beyond fleet operators, the technology also benefits vehicle manufacturers and dealership networks by enabling proactive service planning and parts management. The system monitors key vehicle parameters, collects real-time data, and processes alerts using AI-powered cloud analytics. Insights are shared with fleet operators, service dealers, and manufacturers, helping them anticipate maintenance needs, prevent breakdowns, and optimize vehicle uptime.
This device-enabled platform captures critical engine-related data, error codes, and overall vehicle health, providing a holistic, real-time view of fleet and vehicle performance. With this end-to-end integration, the future of automotive maintenance and fleet management is shifting towards a data-driven, predictive, and efficiency-focused ecosystem, ensuring higher productivity and reduced operational costs for all stakeholders, Srinivasan said.
Intelligent Data-Driven Solutions
Addressing key concerns around vehicle compatibility, security, and warranty, Srinivasan said, the newly developed integrated vehicle management platform offers a seamless solution for both OEM-fitted and aftermarket applications. Designed to enhance vehicle diagnostics and fleet efficiency, the system captures and analyzes real-time vehicle data without intruding into the ECU, ensuring compliance with manufacturer standards while maintaining data security.
The solution aggregates error codes, service history, and diagnostics data, storing it in a cloud-based AI engine to enable predictive and preventive maintenance. By shifting from reactive servicing to proactive monitoring, fleet operators and vehicle owners can minimize breakdowns, optimize uptime, and improve overall vehicle performance. Successfully deployed for both in-warranty OEM vehicles and aftermarket applications in India, the system has now expanded globally, with the UK as the first pilot market, globally.
In addition to enhancing vehicle health monitoring, the platform also adapts to regional regulatory requirements, such as green zones and road usage regulations in cities like London and Delhi.

Unlocking Post-Warranty Vehicle Management While Collaborating With OEMs
Ensuring that vehicle warranty remains intact, the company does not advise customers to adopt solutions that could interfere with manufacturers’ agreements. However, behind the scenes, it is actively collaborating with OEMs who are becoming increasingly open to integrating advanced vehicle management solutions into their core systems. While working directly with OEMs is a long-term strategy, the immediate focus is on the vast aftermarket sector, particularly post-warranty vehicles, where demand for advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance is rapidly growing.
The Right to Repair (RTR) legislation, which could allow vehicle owners to choose independent service centres even for their first scheduled maintenance, remains uncertain. However, as the industry evolves, this could open up new opportunities in vehicle servicing and management. In the meantime, the company continues to work with key OEM partners across both EV and ICE segments, building a strong foundation for further expansion.
