Go beyond the new-car market

Most government policies are geared primarily towards the new-car market, which is just a fraction of the total car parc. For the automotive industry to drive continuous growth, governments are looking to extend policies to the mass- and used-car markets for a more holistic overview. 

With access to our manufacturer-approved specification, pricing, volume and valuation data, you can tap into the potential of the used-car market to bridge the affordability gap and ensure you’re incentivising the right vehicle segments for the wider market. 

Use our data to: 

• Gauge electric-vehicle adoption rates across countries to feed into your own decision-making and adjust policies accordingly 
• Track and compare residual values before and after adjustments and see if adoption is speeding up or slowing down 
• Compare cross-border charging infrastructure and connector-types to determine the attractiveness of markets from an infrastructure perspective 
• Measure against market-share targets to remain on track of your adoption agenda 
• Stay on top of the industry megatrends with robust intelligence data to inform policy decisions at every conjecture

Maximise efficiency

Our identification data helps public sector clients to:

• Catalogue entire fleets when combined with our VIN service
• Source the right vehicle specifications to address individual sector needs, with pan-European coverage

Spec it right

Our specification data helps you to spot where and how your product could be installed in a new vehicle model during its planning and design phase.

Helping you help your customers

To truly help your customers save on fuel costs, reduce downtime, mileage, idling and inefficiencies, and increase driver safety, you need to know precisely what they are driving so you can fit the correct unit and software.

Our VIN look up service tells you exactly what optional extras are fitted to a vehicle, as soon as it leaves the factory. So you can make sure your customers’ fleet users are using cruise control efficiently, always have stop/start technology turned on, and are effectively using all safety features fitted to their vehicle.

Carry out due diligence with greater confidence

During appraisals, auditors need access to up-to-date information to assess risks – especially for companies with large asset risks on their books.

Use our data to improve your level of service, backing your findings up to impress your clients.

Residual value intelligence

Rely on proven expertise

Our industry-best methodologies and valuations data techniques have evolved over the past 80 years. We publish our accuracy figures each month for total transparency.

One percentage point drop in residual value can cost millions in lost value

Lower residual values must be supplemented by higher leasing rates. So, your fleeting customers are less likely to want a model if its residual value performance is poor – and you may have to offer heavy discounts.

Plus, with the introduction of new EV technologies, environmental policies and up-and-coming brands, reliable forecasting insights are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Use Autovista’s range of market-leading data, APIs and tools – including EV Volumes – to quickly understand key market disruptions and design future-proof models and policies.
