How does Echoes access your manufacturers' OEM data?

Direct connection to manufacturer APIs

Echoes has integrated the APIs of more than 30 automakers operating in the European market. When a vehicle in your fleet is registered on the platform, Echoes establishes a secure connection with the manufacturer’s system and begins continuously retrieving data—without the need for any hardware installation or vehicle downtime.

Standardized data, regardless of brand

Every manufacturer uses its own data formats and nomenclatures. Echoes standardizes all this information into a unified schema: the same structure, the same units, and the same terminology for a Renault, a Volkswagen, a Stellantis, or a BMW. Your teams work with a consistent format, regardless of the diversity of your fleet.

Certified, time-stamped, auditable data

Unlike data from OBD units or manual readings, OEM Echoes data is officially certified by vehicle manufacturers. Each data point is time-stamped at the source, ensuring its legal validity and acceptability for your audit, internal control, or regulatory reporting processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a vehicle's OEM data?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) data refers to information generated directly by a vehicle’s official onboard system, as designed by the automaker. It includes odometer mileage, diagnostic codes, engine warnings, battery level, and all information accessible via the manufacturer’s official APIs. This data is certified, time-stamped, and has greater legal standing than data from third-party sensors.
2. How does Echoes access OEM data without a box?
Echoes uses the connected APIs provided by automakers as part of their vehicle data programs. As soon as a vehicle is registered on the Echoes platform with the owner’s consent, a connection is automatically established with the automaker’s system—without the need to physically install any equipment on the vehicle.
3. Which automakers are covered?
Echoes is connected to more than 30 automakers in the European market, covering the vast majority of vehicles registered after 2018. The major automakers included are the Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, the Renault Group, the BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, and Toyota. Contact us to verify the exact compatibility of your fleet.
4. Is OEM data compliant with the GDPR?
Yes. The Echoes architecture is designed to comply with the GDPR. Collecting OEM data requires the vehicle owner’s consent. The rights of access, rectification, and erasure are guaranteed. Every connection is logged, and data can be revoked at any time via the platform.
5. Do OEM data work for electric vehicles?
Yes, and that’s precisely where they offer the most value compared to third-party solutions. OEM data allows you to track the actual battery level, remaining range, energy consumption in kWh/100 km, and charging history for every electric vehicle in your fleet—with the manufacturer’s precision.
