Here’s to a holiday season filled with joy, and a new year full of fantastic ideas. ✨ Merry GISmas 🎄

What a year it's been! As we reflect on 2024, we're incredibly proud of the progress we've made and wanted to take a moment to share some highlights with you: 🚀 The successful launch of 'Fleet Interface Data' across six Volkswagen Group brands, empowering fleet managers optimizing their operations and reducing costs, was a key moment this fall. 🔎 With the latest update of 'VIN Specification' we made 41 data points including important information for electric vehicles such as battery size become available making life easier for fleet managers, retailers, importers and manufacturers of telematics devices. 🎛 We've launched our new data product 'Functions on Demand Data' making special vehicle functions that can be booked and activated for a vehicle on demand, digitally usable as one of the first in the German market. 🩺 With our data product ‘Diagnostics Data’, we are delivering OEM diagnostic trouble codes from 8 brands of the Volkswagen Group in one product with one contract for the first time. As we embark on a new year, we're especially excited about a few milestones on our 2025 roadmap: 🌎 Expanding to new markets and customer segments. 🤝 Further strengthening our partnerships with industry leaders. 🧑💻 Continue investing in innovation and enhancing our product portfolio. 2024, it was a blast!

What will move us in 2025? ✨ For our #AdventsTrends series we asked four Volkswagen Group Info Services AG thought leaders about their personal expectations for the upcoming year. ✨ Today, Patricia Stich, our Chairwoman shares her personal outlook: "In 2025, data-driven value creation will be a major force shaping the automotive industry. As vehicles become increasingly connected, OEMs and our partners will unlock new revenue streams by leveraging vehicle data. Together, we envision a future where data-driven insights drive decisions, innovation, enhance B2B experiences, and optimize operations across the entire automotive ecosystem. The EU Data Act will further accelerate this transformation and it's on all of us in Europe and Germany to realize this potential and continue to play a leading role worldwide."

As our Lead Business Development & Sales and from all your conversations with our partners, what do you expect from 2025, Lasse Schmidt van Hülst? 📈 For our series #AdventsTrends we asked four Volkswagen Group Info Services AG thought leaders to share their personal expectations for the upcoming year. Here's his answer: "In the coming years, and particularly in 2025, I anticipate significant advancements towards a more digital, connected, and data-driven future. This transformation will also affect how we interact with customers. For the Volkswagen Group our central data hub can play a pivotal role in this evolution. It already facilitates data access, guides teams through technical onboarding, and helps to manage operations and incidents. This robust foundation will enable us to deliver an even more digital and personalized customer experience. But still, this is a people business. Human connections will forever be the basis for all of this. Therefore, I'm looking forward to all the personal meetings, conversations and events that 2025 will bring."

#AdventsTrends - What will be the big topics affecting the data business in 2025? 🌐 As part of this series, we asked Felix Diegel our Lead Regulatory Affairs & Board Office to share his view: "From a legal perspective, I'm eagerly watching the European Data Act entering into force in 2025. It will be one of our top priorities next year.
