Mercedes-Benz will use embedded Faurecia-Aptoide technology to power navigation and other vehicle infotainment functions in a win for the app provider against Alphabet's Google.

The companies said on Thursday that under a multi-year partnership from 2023 the joint venture between auto supplier Faurecia and independent app store Aptoide will integrate the German premium carmaker's MBUX multimedia system with its open platform offering nearly 250 apps — navigation, traffic, streaming, payment solution, information on parking and charging stations.

"Today, with such contracts we see that we have this critical mass ... and that we are legitimate in this market," he said. Faurecia-Aptoide is also in talks with a French carmaker and premium car brand over using its app store in Europe — offering a tailor-made product carmakers can brand as their own.

For example, Faurecia-Aptoide can offer Volkswagen users a"myvolkswagen" account instead of a Google account.
