The new podcast of Volkswagen Group Info Services AG shows how vehicle data drives fleets and new business models.

Real-World Insights on Vehicle Data

Vehicle data shapes how fleets run, how workshops plan service and how new business models emerge. Volkswagen Group Info Services AG now discusses these topics in its own podcast: DATA TALKS – Klartext zur Datenökonomie. Each episode features a partner or expert from the data and automotive industry. The focus: real-world use cases, new business models and where the data economy is heading.
