Fusion Foundation, a non-profit organization behind the Fusion blockchain interoperable infrastructure, today announced it has been chosen by the Automotive eXchange Platform (AXP) to improve access to accurate consolidated data on millions of vehicles in the $2.8 trillion pre-owned automotive industry.
The auto industry has long struggled with a lack of transparency and widespread information inaccuracies. Independent dealers, government agencies, including Departments of Motor Vehicles, insurers, financing companies, and individuals lack a standardized and reliable means of sharing and authenticating information such as vehicle information numbers (VIN), make, model, title, sales and service history.
To address these challenges, AXP selected the Fusion operating system over other blockchain solutions for its unique capabilities, including:
- Native Digital Asset Creation – Eliminates the need for smart contracts to create digital assets with time/value controls. This substantially reduces development time and costs.
- Decentralization – The platform has no single point of failure, which means no one party controls the platform infrastructure. This facilitates the integration of disparate systems between multiple partners.
- Interoperability – Enables the free flow of data and value across any public and private blockchains including off-chain data centers.
- Security – Enables public data to remain open and accessible while proprietary business information and consumer data can be protected and secured.
The first step in the partnership is digitizing AXP’s current database of 10.5 million automobiles. This aggregated data enables information tracking, access, auditing and the industry transformation to a transparent and trustworthy paperless system.
