Xevo Inc., a provider of data-driven solutions for the automotive industry, has partnered with BancPass to incorporate the electronic toll pay app PlusPass into their in-vehicle commerce and services platform, Xevo Market.

According to a press release, Xevo Market lets consumers engage with their favorite merchant brands and services via their in-vehicle touchscreen and vehicle-branded mobile apps.

For instance, Xevo users can order food and drinks from their car and have it waiting for them when they arrive; they can find the nearest gas station and pay for fuel; and now, with PlusPass, they can pay tolls.

Drivers can integrate the PlusPass app into the Xevo Market platform and access the app directly from the touchscreen of their vehicle. They can activate vehicles, manage their account, and receive real-time status updates without using their mobile phone.

"Drivers and passengers spend hundreds of hours on the road each year, and Xevo Market's innovative technology allows our partners to extend their customer relationships into millions of vehicles," Xevo CEO Dan Gittleman said in the release. "Xevo Market improves the driving experience by making time spent in the car more productive and enjoyable. Together, Xevo and BancPass are revolutionizing the way people pay for tolls."

"As BancPass moves toward national interoperability with the PlusPass app, Xevo Market offers a great way to increase the availability of the PlusPass solution," BancPass President John Freund said. "The nature of vehicle use and ownership is changing, and the partnership with Xevo and their in-vehicle platform allows greater flexibility in managing user payments from in-vehicle touchscreens."
