Our Automotive business generated revenue of €31 million in the quarter, a 21% growth compared with €26 million in Q3 '15. This increase reflects increasing revenue from new contracts that start to kick in as well as higher revenue on existing contracts.
In the third quarter, we made good progress in delivering our connected navigation components to our existing as well as to our new customers.
Peugeot i-Cockpit® is enhanced with TomTom navigation, 3D Maps and Traffic service. The first car model to introduce the new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with our navigation components will be the new PEUGEOT 3008. TomTom Traffic service, already available to sister companies Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche and Bentley, will be extended to all �nbsp;KODA car models across Europe in the course of 2017. We also announced that Subaru’s next generation infotainment platform will be equipped with our global Maps and Navigation software. This platform will launch first in North America with the all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza. Finally, Volvo Trucks selected us as the supplier of Maps, Traffic and Navigation software for their new infotainment system, launching first in Europe in 2017.
3 Europe refers to the following 12 countries: AT, BE, CH, CZ, DE, ES, FR, GB, IT, NL, PL and SE.
We expanded our global footprint in Traffic with the launch of our service in India and Bulgaria in September. TomTom Traffic is now available in 52 countries globally. In addition, we introduced On-Street Parking service, enabled by the vast supply of GPS data that runs through our platforms, to help drivers to find a parking spot more quickly. In the quarter, we also extended the coverage of High Definition (HD) Map and RoadDNA products with motorways in France, and interstates in 13 additional states in the US. This brings the total coverage of HD Map and RoadDNA to over 200,000 kilometres globally.
