More collaborations – we love to at demonstrate the value of car data to our customers. A convincing test drive with did together with HUK-Coburg and Porsche for showing how data delivery works for a brand new all-electric Porsche Taycan – real car, real data, no powerpoints. Via the CARUSO data terminal, our own Christian Webel was able to monitor data delivery in real-time. What a great collaboration of all involved parties on that test drive.

Together with BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz AG, Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Post und DHL, HERE Technologies, HUK-COBURG, and Volkswagen AG, we will make innovative scenarios a reality for a more sustainable, secure, and easier mobility future.

2019 – Neutrality
Neutrality – By Shareholdership
At CARUSO, we are working hard on delivering value to our customers and partners. ✨ Our platform provides access to vehicle data based on the FRAND principle – Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory. 🤝
Open, Fair, Reasonable and non-discriminatory access to in-vehicle data across different brands.
Our neutrality is reflected in our shareholder structure, which represents a healthy potpourri of the automotive industry. Our founding shareholder was TecAlliance GmbH with the initial investment and the support of its excellent shareholders of automotive suppliers. Since then, another nine well known international industry players joined in having a say in how we shape the mobility ecosystem with our strategy, our business model, and our platform.
TecAlliance | ATR International AG | CARAT Systementwicklungs-und Marketing GmbH & Co.KG | DVSE GESELLSCHAFT FÜR DATENVERARBEITUNG, SERVICE UND ENTWICKLUNG MBH | Eucon Group | global one automotive GmbH | LKQ Corporation | MOBIVIA | OSRAM | WM SE
We are thankful of the support our shareholders gave throughout the years! 🙏 And we believe that in order to build up a sustainable ecosystem its diversity, openness & neutrality must be reflected in the shareholder structure. And this structure is what distinguishes CARUSO from others and makes us truly neutral.
2018 – Dataplace
Car Data – At The Core Of Our Hearts
“From Connected Cars to Connected Business.” – our company motto says it all. CARUSO is THE marketplace for car data. Data from connected vehicles is the foundation for many upcoming mobility services and innovative disruptions to come for mobility. With many vehicle manufacturers being available via our platform, our expertise clearly is connected car data. 🚘
This is why CARUSO has taken a first step towards establishing a standardized data catalog in 2018. This catalog covers all data items currently seen as relevant for mobility use cases – more than 500 Data Items named by various players in the mobility domain.
Also, the data catalog was the basis for defining a Minimum Viable Data Set of 42 most requested data items we did together with our partners and customers. Thanks to CLEPA – European Association of Automotive Suppliers the minimum viable data set has also been shared in the political arena in Brussels.

2017 – Start Up
CARUSO Go Live & Homebase Mannheim, Germany
Founded in March 2017, we started working on the Dataplace, our platform for connected car data. We also were busy in ramping up our CARUSO team and eventually found a homebase in Mannheim, Germany.
The GO LIVE event of our data delivery platform took place on November 16, 2017. We had a blast demonstrating data delivery from connected cars. We are still more than happy to have had so many of our first-hour customers, partners and supporters being in the audience back then.
