Connected vehicle and mobility data company, Wejo has announced the launch of Neutral Server Plus and a partnership with Daimler, the first automotive manufacturer to use the service.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Daimler AG and unlock a wealth of European vehicle data to more than 230 contracted data licencees,” said Wejo founder and CEO, Richard Barlow.

Neutral Server Plus is powered by Adept, the company’s cloud-based data exchange platform. Adept simplifies sharing and accessing connected vehicle data and currently supports more than ten marketplaces.
Adept processes near real-time and historical data, averaging 15bn data points per day, or 1bn miles of data every three days.
With Adept’s Neutral Server Plus capability, licencees can now choose to receive both on-demand and streamed data services.
“Wejo’s partnership with Daimler and the launch of Neutral Server Plus are two critical milestones as we create the global mobility data ecosystem,” added Barlow.
“Having millions of vehicles across Europe on our platform adds another dimension to our data insights, which will be transformative for partners and drivers.”
Wejo will access five categories of vehicle-generated data through Daimler, including pay-as-you-drive insurance, fuel status, vehicle status, vehicle lock status and data specific to electric vehicles. Wejo’s Neutral Server Plus acts as a conduit.
It enables third parties; that is, insurers, EV charging providers, fuel providers, smart mobility services, to access connected vehicle data without having a unique agreement with Daimler.
Wejo’s new product line will allow businesses to use on-demand data for specific vehicles with one-to-one consent to show the consumer information about the car in an app, trigger alerts based on the changing status of the car (for example, damage or unauthorised use), and provide accurate vehicle data for consumer-oriented products (for example, precise mileage for use in insurance policies).
Wejo says it is the market leader in connected vehicle data with more than 10m vehicles on its platform from the US.
