JATO and autobiz partner on European vehicle data and valuation

JATO Dynamics and autobiz have announced a partnership aimed at redefining vehicle identification and valuation standards across 22 European markets.

The collaboration brings together JATO’s extensive database of vehicle specifications and pricing with autobiz’s expertise in used-car valuation and residual value forecasting, creating a fully integrated solution spanning the entire vehicle lifecycle.

The companies said the partnership is designed to set a new benchmark for accuracy, transparency, and efficiency in automotive data across Europe.

JATO Dynamics is widely recognised for its detailed and structured vehicle specifications database, offering the historical depth and taxonomy required to accurately identify vehicles across markets. autobiz complements this with advanced analytics on used-car pricing, market trends, and residual value forecasting.

By integrating these capabilities, the partnership creates a unified framework linking vehicle identification – including VIN matching – with real-time market valuations and forward-looking insights.

Under the agreement, autobiz will incorporate JATO’s structured data into its platforms, enabling more precise VIN identification, improved vehicle matching, and enhanced valuation forecasting tools. New dashboards will combine technical specifications with pricing and lifecycle insights.

At the same time, JATO will integrate autobiz’s valuation models into its own systems, allowing customers to connect vehicle specifications directly with market values. This will provide a seamless “specs-to-valuation” experience and support new analytics tools offering a full lifecycle view, from new-car launch through to used-car resale and future value forecasting.

The partnership comes at a time of increasing complexity in the European automotive sector, driven by electrification, cross-border fleet operations, regulatory pressures, and volatility in residual values.

By combining product intelligence with market data in a single platform, the two companies aim to provide a consistent and scalable solution for manufacturers, leasing firms, fleet operators, mobility providers, and financial institutions.

The integrated framework is expected to deliver several key advantages, including more accurate valuations linked to structured vehicle data, faster and more reliable vehicle identification, and broader coverage across European markets.

It also offers a single, unified source of data for organisations managing large and complex fleets, improving pricing accuracy and operational efficiency.

The companies noted that joint solutions are already in use with major international clients, including Europcar Mobility Group, which has adopted the combined platform to harmonise vehicle identification and valuation processes across its European operations.

Jake Shafran, CEO and Founder of JATO Dynamics, said the partnership represents a significant step forward for the industry.

“By uniting JATO’s unparalleled specifications with autobiz’s trusted valuation science, we are delivering the most complete and integrated view of a vehicle’s lifecycle,” he said.

“By combining JATO’s vehicle specifications with autobiz’s market-based valuation expertise, we are enabling automotive players to connect identification, valuation and forecasting across the entire vehicle lifecycle,” he said.
