Providing Automotive Data for over 90 Years

For more than 90 years, our mission has been to collect and organize comprehensive automotive data and provide the industry with the most superior information.

Our product family, SilverDAT, not only offers top-of-the-line tools for vehicle identification, calculation of repair work and damage assessment as well as claims-related communication with insurance companies, but it also allows users to receive reliable used-car valuations or residual values through our large database and methodology.

We are dedicated to providing the industry with the most superior products and services to make business easier and more efficient for our customers and clients.

Our philosophy is one of neutrality, reliability and innovation. Founded in 1931, DAT has always seen itself as a neutral intermediary between all stakeholders of the automobile industry and has since the very beginning been supported by the same three founding partners: the VDA (Association of the German Automotive Industry), the VDIK (Association of the International Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) and the ZDK (German Federation for Motor Trades and Repairs).
This structure gives the DAT a unique status and a special mandate within the automotive industry.

Today, our company has over 550 employees in 22 countries throughout Europe and Asia.
