Summary
Automotive data sharing in Europe is growing beyond individual use cases. More companies exchange data, more businesses depend on access, and the challenge is making those relationships work at scale.
Key findings
- Catena-X reports more than 1,000 companies exchanging data, up from 182 in December 2025.
- At Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, the debate focused on how vehicle data is accessed, its quality and its cost.
- Repair, remanufacturing, vehicle data services and recycling need different data for different purposes.
- As relationships multiply, verification, agreements and delivery need to scale without the administration scaling with them.
