- DAT is now majority shareholder in High-Mobility
- High-Mobility provides connected car data from 29 brands
- Live vehicle data is continuously gaining in importance
(04 September, 2025, Ostfildern/Berlin) – Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT) is increasing its stake in Berlin-based High-Mobility GmbH to 65 percent. Since 2020, DAT has been involved in the start-up, which was founded in 2014.
„By increasing the shares, we can ensure the further development of High-Mobility and thus the sustainable and professional access to valuable manufacturer information for the entire mobility industry,“ reports Dr. Thilo Wagner, DAT Managing Director and member of the Advisory Board of High-Mobility. He adds: „Telematics data is not only the ’next big thing‘ for us at DAT, but they are also becoming increasingly important for repair shops, experts and end consumers.“
The DAT holding company High-Mobility GmbH provides connected car data from 29 brands in a uniform format via interface. There is no longer a need for additional hardware such as OBD dongles. Access to the vehicles‘ own communication systems is based on contractual and data protection-compliant relationships between the car manufacturers and High-Mobility GmbH. Leading European fleet management systems such as Avrios from Shiftmove, service providers such as LoJack for enhanced vehicle security services, and large fleet operators such as FINN already rely on the data services developed by High-Mobility.
Kevin Valdek, CTO and founder of High-Mobility: „Standardized access to live vehicle data is becoming an increasingly indispensable resource for fleets and fleet management solutions. The enhanced role of DAT will ensure that these actors can rely on a secure and sustainable data infrastructure that meets the growing needs of the mobility market.“
The DAT company is increasingly complementing its own product portfolio with live vehicle data provided by High-Mobility GmbH. For example, the recently launched product SilverDAT Connect bundles configuration data, vehicle identification, live data and value development as an all-in-one tool for fleet managers. This is a new combination of vehicle data covering the whole vehicle use cycle from procurement to re-marketing. In a European comparison, no other company can be found that also offers this from a single source.
In addition, DAT is working with universities to determine the state of health (SoH) of a BEV drive battery based on telematics data. „For individual vehicles, reading out the SoH via a dongle can certainly be interesting, but as soon as it comes to larger quantities, telematics data is the means of choice,“ explains Dr. Wagner.
In addition, the mobility industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Vehicle procurement is increasingly environmentally oriented. In addition, the sustainability reporting required by regulations increases the demands on fuel and energy consumption measurement. Especially in the case of leasing companies and corporate fleets, the changed market situation is leading to an increasing demand for uncomplicated and privacy-compliant access to live information. DAT can ensure this by increasing the shares in High-Mobility GmbH for relevant stakeholders in the industry.
