Condense is a Kafka-native real-time data streaming platform with a mobility-specific ecosystem of pre-built connectors for vehicles, telematics devices, IoT sensors, charging infrastructure and enterprise systems. It covers ingestion, transformation, sinks, observability and governance, with an AI-driven IDE and the Vapr AI agent, and runs in the customer's own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account. Use cases include fleet command centres, real-time asset tracking, predictive maintenance, EV operations with battery analytics, and rental and shared mobility. Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles streams data from more than 250,000 connected vehicles on Condense.
2. Highlighted features & specifications

3. Potential application
Vietnamese electric motorbike and bus manufacturers can stream battery and vehicle data for warranty analytics and over-the-air services. Telematics providers can build real-time fleet command centres on top of Condense. Mining and port operators can combine data from trucks and sensors for dispatch.
4. Benefits
OEMs and fleet platforms can stand up a production-ready streaming deployment in 1 to 2 hours through cloud marketplaces, while keeping data in their own cloud for full localisation. The company reports a 99.95% uptime SLA and a 45% cloud cost reduction for a three-wheeler OEM that migrated from Confluent. Its pricing calculator shows about 21% savings versus self-managed Apache Kafka for the configuration shown.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Vehicle makers are connecting every new commercial vehicle and electric two- and three-wheeler, producing data volumes that general-purpose cloud services handle at high cost. Data localisation rules in Asian markets push OEMs toward platforms that run in their own cloud. Vietnam's growing EV and commercial vehicle production faces similar data infrastructure needs.
