About Us

 

Introduction

The introduction of the remote control car alarm changed the way drivers interacted with their vehicles. That took place 30 years ago. CSE was at the forefront then; introducing this industry-transforming technology to Asia. Today, the CSE Group continues to provide market-leading original equipment (OE) products and services to the automotive, fleet and insurance sectors.

Today, this vision has taken on a grander, wider scale. CSE is now working with our partners – including internationally established technology companies, insurance companies, telecommunication giants, automotive manufacturers and assemblers – to tap these opportunities that come with the surging waves of technology advancements, global shifts, industrial and business developments taking place in the 21st century.

To face this challenge, CSE itself has transformed. It is no longer represented by a single company - CSE Automotive Technologies. Today, CSE is a group also made up of CSE Telematics, Cobra Auto, CSE Singapore, CSE Regional TSPs and CSE Science Jet. CSE has invested and put ourselves in a position where we are now able to address and cater for the design and development of telematics platforms and technologies; in terms of both hardware integration and software applications.

Telematics is the new frontier. Presently, it encompasses telecommunications, vehicular technologies, road transportation, road safety, electrical engineering (sensors, instrumentation, wireless communications) and computer science (multimedia, Internet). Tomorrow, the horizons of telematics might stretch further; beyond that.

But we stand ready to face change. The CSE Group now has the resources required -- hardware, software, data centre, 24/7 Secure Operating Centre, installation, field services and support – to take on telematics projects spanning across various industries, technologies and sectors. With these resources, CSE is now able to work with insurance companies to take advantage of the de-tariffed auto insurance environment, collaborate with telco to launch a new intelligent fleet management solution and continue our partnerships with automakers.

We would like to share this vision and work with our partners to make the world a safer, better place to live in; especially on the road, where many lives are lost. Telematics can be used to make a difference to society. To us, this has always been an idea worth spreading, worth aspiring to and always worth working towards.
