For a Car Rental or Peer-to-Peer Car-Sharing company, having complete control over the fleet is key for a successful management of the business.<\/span><\/p>

To be able to control the fleet and the status of cars, Car Rentals or Peer-to-Peer businesses need to embrace a tech-based approach and <\/span>adopt a digital strategy around car connectivity<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Each car has its own language, standardizing all languages used by connected cars is crucial for the implementation of a digital strategy and for allowing access to extremely important functions such as <\/span>vehicles\u2019 interactions<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Having a connected car makes remote interactions such as <\/span>lock<\/b> and <\/span>unlock of doors<\/b> possible, making the rental process for both a Car Rental company and a Peer-to-Peer car sharing way smoother, immediate and technologically advanced. Giving customers <\/span>faster<\/b> and <\/span>contactless<\/b> vehicle access!<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And how does this work?<\/span><\/p>

In this article we will break down how the integration of commands takes place on a technical level thanks to <\/span>2hire technology<\/b><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Step 1: Vehicle Compatibility Check with 2hire\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As you may already know, the 2hire service that enables vehicle connectivity is called<\/span> <\/span>Adapter<\/span><\/a><\/span>. The first step in integrating Adapter’s API with your own service and ecosystem is to determine the compatibility of the vehicles in your fleet with our solution.<\/span><\/p>

There are two possibilities for integrating your vehicles through our product: your vehicle can either be natively connected, as most recent models come with embedded connectivity by the manufacturer, or it can be a non-connected vehicle eligible for installation of our 2hire box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To obtain more information about the manufacturers or models supported and to inquire about the compatibility of your vehicles, please contact <\/span>our business unit<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 2: Develop Your Integration through 2hire Adapter Development Portal<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you have confirmed the compatibility of your vehicles, the next step is to integrate the Adapter API. The real power of Adapter lies in its ability to expose a unified and homogeneous interface for interacting with a diverse range of vehicles from different manufacturers and models. From a Mercedes Vito to a Fiat 500 the difference is not so steep, with Adapter you manage both in the same way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To facilitate the development of your integration, you can utilize our <\/span>Developer Portal<\/span><\/a><\/span> and simulate real vehicles in our test environment. The <\/span>API Reference<\/span><\/a><\/span> tab contains four sections:<\/span><\/p>

Prod API<\/b><\/a><\/span>: This collection directly connects to our production service, allowing you to interact with your real vehicles if you already have your production credentials.<\/span><\/p>

Integration Test<\/b><\/a><\/span>: This set of APIs is designed to mock responses from our server. The responses are static and dependent on the input parameters, making it useful for studying our service or for early-stage development.<\/span><\/p>

Test API<\/b><\/a><\/span>: These endpoints enable you to develop and test your application. The service points to a special Test environment that replicates the behavior of our Production servers. You can set up mock vehicles to simulate different scenarios.<\/span><\/p>

E2E Test<\/b><\/a><\/span>: These endpoints allow you to create and control mock vehicles for use with the Test API.<\/span><\/p>

Once you have completed the implementation and thoroughly tested it using the Test API, you are ready to switch to the Production routes.<\/span><\/p>

For the scope of this post, we will focus on the development phase using our Test API and E2E tests. This integration process involves:<\/span><\/p>
