Development of DAT also includes its role in creation processes.
The German Automobile Trust GmbH (DAT) has recently announced that it has increased its stake in High-Mobility GmbH to 65 percent. This investment, which was first made in 2020, underscores DAT's commitment to ensuring the continued development of High-Mobility.
Thilo Wagner, CEO of DAT and a member of High-Mobility's Advisory Board, stated that this increased stake will ensure the growth and development of High-Mobility. He emphasized that this strengthened role will enable DAT to offer a secure and sustainable data infrastructure that meets the growing demands of the mobility market.
High-Mobility, a startup founded in 2014, provides connected car data from 29 brands in a uniform format without the need for additional hardware like OBD dongles. This seamless and data-protection-compliant access to vehicle information is becoming increasingly crucial in the industry, especially as it undergoes a significant shift towards environmentally conscious procurement and sustainability requirements.
High-Mobility's data services are already being utilised by fleet management systems like Avrios, service providers like LoJack, and car subscription provider Finn. One of the unique features offered by High-Mobility is SilverDAT Connect, an all-in-one tool for fleet managers. This tool offers configurator data, vehicle identification, live data, and value development, making it a unique feature not currently offered by any other provider in Europe.
DAT sees itself in a key position due to its now-secured majority stake in High-Mobility. The company is expanding its offerings with the new SilverDAT Connect product, designed to meet the growing demands of the mobility market. Kevin Valdek, CTO and founder of High-Mobility, explained that standardized access to live vehicle data is becoming an indispensable resource for fleet management solutions.
In addition to its investment in High-Mobility, DAT is also researching with universities to determine the state of health of electric vehicle batteries using telematics data. This research is part of DAT's ongoing efforts to contribute to a more sustainable future for the automotive industry.
While the majority stake in High-Mobility GmbH was acquired by DAT in 2020, it's worth noting that as of May 6, 2025, the majority stake was acquired by GESCO SE. Nevertheless, DAT's initial investment and subsequent increased stake have set the stage for a promising future for both companies and the automotive industry as a whole.
In conclusion, DAT's investment in High-Mobility and the subsequent development of SilverDAT Connect underscore the importance of secure, sustainable, and standardised data infrastructure in the automotive industry. As the industry continues to evolve, it's clear that DAT is well-positioned to lead the way towards a more connected, sustainable, and efficient future.
