Victorian owned company Directed Technologies has officially opened a $15m Connected Mobility Innovation Centre, set to fuel the rapid growth of connected vehicle technology and IoT solutions that save lives, reduce emissions, and enhance productivity.
The Centre will advance Australia’s capabilities in next-generation fleet vehicle digitisation and electrification while providing a foundation for Directed Technologies to scale its APAC class-leading solutions to global markets.
The new Connected Mobility Innovation Centre will double Directed Technologies’ local manufacturing capabilities in both telematics and IoT, allowing it to meet an ever-increasing demand for its high-tech products.
Backed in part by the Victorian Jobs and Investment Fund, the $15m state-of-the-art centre will place Victoria at the centre of global connected vehicle opportunities, driving the growth of digital skills and manufacturing capability by providing hundreds of jobs for high-skilled workers across design, production, engineering and manufacturing.
