Factory-backed integration revolutionises vehicle reporting standards
AutoData Middle East, the UAE’s premier automotive data solutions company, has signed a landmark partnership with Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH, making it the first in the region to secure OEM factory-level data integration through its Vehicle Report platform. By delivering specifications via secure API connections, AutoData sets a new benchmark for transparency and trust. With partnerships spanning more than 40 organisations and over 42,000 users already benefiting, Vehicle Report is rapidly becoming central to safe and informed vehicle purchasing.
Historically, vehicle decoding in the UAE has been hindered by bespoke local adaptations and the abundance of rare production models outside standard VIN systems. This partnership resolves those obstacles by providing direct factory-certified information from Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH’s international databases. Data is shared in full compliance with privacy laws, ensuring accurate identification of trims, configurations, and equipment.
“This is a game-changer for automotive data in the Middle East,” said Sebastian Fuchs, Managing Director of AutoData Middle East. “By partnering directly with Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH, we remove guesswork and bring factory-level precision to dealers, insurers, and platforms. Vehicle Report is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool for anyone buying or selling a car, empowering users with the reliable insights they need to make smarter, safer decisions. This is what the future of data transparency looks like, and we’re proud to lead it.”
The API-driven upgrade is being rolled out across AutoData’s platforms, including Vehicle Report, DealRevs, and the company’s complete product ecosystem. It enables deeper accuracy for incomplete or hard-to-decode VINs, enriching customer-facing tools with more comprehensive factory specifications.
Notable improvements introduced include:
- Reliable year identification for VINs outside standard structures.
- Full factory-trim and configuration disclosure for every vehicle.
- Expanded specification and equipment details accessible throughout AutoData’s suite.
With daily adoption rates tripling and 84% of buyers reporting problem-free purchases, AutoData Middle East has become a catalyst for trust in the digital automotive market. Backed by 12 years of regional expertise, the company is steering the industry towards a data-led, transparent, and connected future.
