Written by Team JATO | 26 March 2026

London / Paris 26/03/2026

JATO Dynamics, the global leader in automotive intelligence and autobiz, the European leader in used vehicle valuation and residual value intelligence, today announce a strategic partnership designed to deliver the most comprehensive vehicle identification and valuation solution across 22 countries in Europe.

 

By combining JATO’s industry-leading database of vehicle specifications and pricing with autobiz’s advanced used-car market intelligence and residual value expertise, the partnership establishes a fully integrated framework covering the entire vehicle lifecycle, from vehicle specifications and identification to used-vehicle valuation and residual value forecasting.

 

Together JATO Dynamics and autobiz aim to set a new benchmark for accuracy, transparency and efficiency in automotive data across Europe.

 

A partnership built on complementary strengths 

 

JATO Dynamics and autobiz bring together two recognised leaders in their respective fields. JATO provides one of the most complete and structured vehicle specifications databases in the market, with the historical depth and taxonomy needed to accurately identify and describe vehicles across European markets. autobiz complements this with advanced used-car market intelligence, trusted valuation models and residual value forecasting capabilities built on extensive European market coverage.

 

By combining structured specifications, VIN identification, market valuations and forecasting within a single framework, the partnership establishes a new reference model for automotive data intelligence in Europe.

As part of the partnership framework, autobiz will integrate selected JATO data attributes into several of its key solutions, resulting in:

 

  • Enhanced VIN – providing improved VIN identification and structured vehicle matching in markets, based on JATO’s taxonomy, and on JATO Solution.
  • Enhanced future valuations – delivering more precise forecasting and lifecycle insights using enriched JATO data.
  • New and enhanced dashboards combining valuation, forecasting and structured specifications

 

autobiz will also embed the new JATO’s vehicle identification service, further strengthening the accuracy and consistency of VIN-to-spec mapping across supported markets.

JATO will integrate autobiz’s valuation and forecasting capabilities into its own product ecosystem, enabling: 

  • Enhanced JATO solutions where valuations are natively linked to the most complete specifications data in the market.
  • A unified “specs-to-valuation” experience within key JATO platforms, giving customers instant access to both technical attributes and market value.
  • Future JATO dashboards and insights products enriched with autobiz valuation intelligence, delivering a full vehicle lifecycle view — from new-car launch to used-car forecast. 

This shared integration ensures that JATO customers benefit from trusted autobiz valuations natively connected to JATO’s structured vehicle definitions, codes and historical data. 

 

Delivering clear customer benefits 

 

By combining product intelligence and market valuation within a unified European framework, the partnership provides: 

 

  • More accurate valuations, directly linked to structured vehicle specifications.
  • Faster and more reliable vehicle identification, powered by integrated VIN matching.
  • Broader European coverage, spanning 22 markets.
  • A full lifecycle view of every vehicle, from new-car launch to used-car valuation and future forecasting.
  • A single, integrated source of truth for OEMs, leasing companies, fleet operators, mobility providers and financial institutions.

 

Responding to growing European market complexity 

 

As cross-border fleet operations, electrification, regulatory pressure and residual value volatility reshape the automotive landscape, manufacturers, banks, leasing companies and mobility operators require integrated, reliable and scalable data infrastructures. 

The JATO x autobiz collaboration directly addresses this need by unifying product intelligence and market valuation into one consistent European framework. 

Joint solutions are already live with major international clients. JATO and autobiz have an established track record of joint contracts with leading leasing, fleet and rental companies, including the previously announced agreement with Europcar Mobility Group. 

 

The leading mobility provider selected the combined JATO x autobiz solution to harmonise its vehicle identification and valuation processes across Europe, strengthening operational consistency and pricing accuracy across its fleet operations. 

By bringing together vehicle product intelligence, used-vehicle valuation and residual value forecasting within a single integrated framework, autobiz and JATO Dynamics are setting a new benchmark for automotive data excellence across Europe. 


The partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to delivering precision, transparency and measurable performance at enterprise scale.

 

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,” said Jake Shafran, CEO and Founder, JATO Dynamics.  

 

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,” said Emmanuel Labi, President of autobiz.
