Vehicle Data Mapping to 3rd Party Providers

Mapping and 3rd Party Validation Data Overview

VIN decoding and vehicle description data are the core solutions to a business's automotive data needs that are sourced directly from the vehicle manufacturers. However, in the automotive industry, there are a number of public and private organizations that establish standards for everything from vehicle valuation, safety, and fuel efficiency to yearly "Best of" and "Top Ten" vehicle awards. DataOne offers products that allow you to utilize this data quickly and efficiently.

Mapping to third-party standards can be vital to your business operations. An accurate and precise data map will help you save time and money and contribute to process quality. Mappings developed from unbiased third-party data can be used to display vehicle ratings and awards that will add significant value to your vehicle display and inventory marketing efforts.

Fuel Economy and Green Data

EPA Green Scores

Tap into consumers environmental interest with Green Vehicle Ratings

Consumers are becoming more aware and concerned about the environmental impact of their driving habits and choice of vehicle.

Tap into this interest by including EPA Green Scores in your vehicle details pages. These scores relate to the air pollution and greenhouse gas score of the vehicle, as well as identify the vehicles awarded the EPA SmartWay and SmartWay Elite status.

EPA MPG

VIN-referenced EPA Fuel Economy ratings for all US vehicles.

Perhaps no vehicle data point is more consistently researched and inquired about than the vehicle's fuel efficiency or MPG (Miles Per Gallon). With high gas prices a reality and higher future gas prices likely, a vehicle's MPG is a real concern to prospective buyers.

Couple those budgetary concerns with environmental concerns many consumers have and you can see why fuel efficiency is a must-have for any inventory listing or vehicle details page.

Our data is designed to be used for promotional use in vehicle marketing as well as in business analysis and studies.

Safety Data

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings

Safety Ratings are a top consideration for online vehicle shoppers

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings are an important element for inclusion in online consumer research and shopping displays. These safety ratings have been provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration since 1990 and have become a safety standard vehicle shoppers recognize and look for.

Ratings are available for overall categories, as well as for specific impact types and passenger areas tested. The ratings are also valuable for risk management/insurance industries.

This dataset is suitable for research and statistic projects as well as vehicle marketing. Additionally, consumer research-oriented sites will find this data especially useful for vehicle comparisons.

NHTSA Recalls

VIN-referenced NHTSA Recalls for all passenger/light-duty vehicles since 1981

OEMs are required to contact parties affected by recalls and offer service to resolve the issue at a nearby dealership at no cost. This presents a business opportunity to dealers looking to capture the associated service revenue.

DataOne Software’s NHTSA Recalls data was created to support both CRM/marketing efforts to contact affected vehicle owners, as well as service-centered solutions used by technicians. The recalls have been filtered to include only automotive and light-duty OEM equipment, parts, and accessories. The data set is VIN referenced and tied to DataOne's VehicleID for ease of use and integration as a stand-alone product or coupled with additional data products.
