CARUSO is a leading data marketplace dedicated to transforming the mobility landscape. By connecting data providers and users in a secure, scalable, and interoperable ecosystem, we enable innovative solutions for insurance providers, workshops, fleet operators, and more.

Our mission is simple: to make mobility data accessible and actionable while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, compliance, and quality. From standardizing data to enabling real-time access, we empower our partners to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, CARUSO promotes efficient use of mobility data to reduce emissions, minimize waste, and optimize resource allocation. By empowering data-driven decisions, we support the transition to a more sustainable mobility ecosystem.

We are an active member of the community, in particular of ↗ISO Working Group on the ‘extended vehicle’ concept and the ↗Bitkom. We are also actively contributing to the events, meetings, workshops, and working groups in the automotive sector.
