Targa Telematics products and services
The Targa Platform gathers vehicle and driver data for fleet operations. Services cover fleet monitoring, maintenance, vehicle security, usage analysis, insurance technology and connected mobility. Rental and leasing customers can use the tools for vehicle status, contract-related workflows, remote access and the handling of large, frequently changing fleets.
Targa also supports car sharing and corporate mobility. Its role is technology and data management. It is not a consumer rental supplier and does not own the customer fleets that use its system.

Targa Telematics is headquartered in Treviso. Its company page names operations in Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Romania and Chile.

Who owns Targa Telematics?
Targa Telematics is the legal operating company. In 2021, an investment company linked to the Investindustrial VII fund entered its capital. Targa later acquired Viasat Group in 2023. The acquired business was combined into the wider group, but Viasat is not the parent of Targa Telematics.
Targa Telematics history and recent developments
UbiEst was created in 2000. In 2006, it acquired Targa Infomobility from Fiat. The business adopted the Targa Telematics name in 2015, and UbiEst merged into it in 2019. Targa acquired Viasat Group in 2023 and moved the combined operations to one Targa Telematics brand in 2025.
In July 2026, Targa announced Maintenance Excellence, a service using software agents to support fleet-maintenance decisions and tasks. The development is relevant to rental fleets because maintenance timing, downtime and vehicle availability directly affect operations.
