🎉 Celebrating 8 Years of CARUSO – A Journey of Innovation and Impact
This week marks a special milestone in the CARUSO journey—we’re celebrating our 8th anniversary! 🎂 On Tuesday, we gathered with some of our team members at a coworking space in Mannheim to commemorate this occasion. It was a casual but meaningful moment, complete with a small surprise and heartfelt conversations reflecting on how far we’ve come since our founding.
From humble beginnings to becoming a pioneer in automotive data access, the last eight years have been defined by bold ideas, consistent growth, and relentless commitment to our mission: to make vehicle data accessible, secure, and impactful for the entire mobility ecosystem.
When CARUSO was launched in 2017, the concept of a vehicle data marketplace was still new and unfamiliar to many in the automotive industry. Yet we saw the potential early on. As vehicles became increasingly connected and software-driven, we recognized that data would become the key to unlocking smarter mobility services.
Fast forward to today, CARUSO is proud to be one of the leading platforms enabling standardized, cross-brand access to connected car data across Europe. We support a wide array of stakeholders including:
-
Independent Automotive Aftermarket (IAM) players
-
Fleet operators and managers
-
Insurance companies
-
Mobility service providers
-
Technology innovators and startups
Our unified platform now connects to over 90% of connected vehicles in Europe, offering access to more than 300 harmonized data items—from odometer readings and tire pressure to diagnostic codes and battery health. All of this is made available through a single API, designed for security, scalability, and ease of use.
At its core, CARUSO exists to transform the way we move. By giving businesses secure and compliant access to real-time vehicle data, we help make mobility:
-
Smarter – through data-driven services that predict maintenance needs, optimize routes, and personalize the driving experience.
-
Safer – by enabling real-time diagnostics, crash response, and condition monitoring.
-
More efficient – by helping fleets and services reduce downtime, costs, and emissions.
Our commitment to this transformation is not just technological—it’s also strategic. We actively engage with industry associations, policymakers, and partners to shape regulations that ensure fair and open access to vehicle data for all market participants.
