AutoData Middle East launches next-gen intelligence suite to transform the region's auto insurance and used car markets
The company has launched a next-generation suite of AI-powered intelligence tools designed to improve pricing accuracy, enhance risk evaluation, prevent fraud, and boost profitability across the used car and insurance ecosystem. Built on precision, transparency, and deep regional expertise, AutoData's AI-powered tools offer a smarter way forward. They address major blind spots caused by inconsistent underwriting and gaps in data quality at a critical time when deductibles have soared and coverage is increasingly difficult to access.
The new suite, including the AI Valuation Engine, Risk Coefficient, Claim Hub, and Deal Revs - a unified intelligence infrastructure built to help insurers, dealerships, and marketplaces make faster, more informed decisions across the GCC.
'You cannot make strong decisions with partial information - yet that is how much of the industry still operates,' said Sebastian Fuchs, Managing Director of AutoData Middle East. 'Over the years, we have seen how a lack of data precision leads to loss, inefficiency, and risk across insurance, trade, and valuation. This suite is the result of years of market observation and product innovation, built specifically for the GCC. It gives our partners the visibility, speed, and accuracy they need to lead in a fast-evolving market, while raising the standard of transparency for the entire ecosystem.'
The AI Valuation Engine: Real-Time Pricing Built for the GCC
Built for the GCC, the AI Valuation Engine delivers real-time used car pricing with unmatched accuracy. Trained on more than 100 million data points, from both live and historical transactions, it reflects real market behaviour and updates every two weeks. Insurers, marketplaces, and dealerships use it to price vehicles with confidence and consistency.
Risk Coefficient: Revolutionising Risk-Based Insurance Underwriting
Traditional pricing models often overlook critical risk factors. Risk Coefficient brings a new standard to underwriting by analysing over 50 vehicle attributes, including safety features, power-to-weight ratios, and real-time depreciation data. It is especially effective in closing pricing gaps for electric and grey-import vehicles, where traditional models often fall short. By addressing mileage blind underwriting losses, Risk Coefficient helps insurers reduce exposure, improve pricing accuracy, and offer fairer, data-driven premiums across all vehicle risk profiles.
Claim Hub: The UAE's Total Loss Intelligence Engine
Claim Hub enables insurance providers to securely exchange real-time data on total loss vehicles through seamless API integration. By connecting to critical UAE sources such as Emirates Vehicle Gate and the Dubai Traffic Accidents Database, Claim Hub supports fraud prevention, streamlines claims processing, and ensures regulatory compliance. Claim Hub gives insurers deeper visibility into total loss activity and helps strengthen portfolio performance through real-time data sharing, collaboration, and regulatory transparency.
DealRevs: Unlocking Profit in the Used Car Market
DealRevs empowers dealerships to unlock margin, streamline trade-ins, and optimise inventory decisions in a rapidly growing used car market. Through features like dynamic pricing, in-house auction integration, and marketplace syndication, DealRevs supports faster turnover, improved trade-in accuracy, and reduced holding costs. For mid-size dealerships, the platform can deliver profitability gains of over AED 1.5 million annually.
A Vision Rooted in Innovation
Since 2006, AutoData Middle East has expanded its data network, built strategic integrations with partners like JATO and CARFAX, and led market-specific innovation in VIN decoding, fraud prevention, AI modelling, and insurance underwriting.
With the launch of this new intelligence suite, AutoData Middle East is advancing its mission to build a more transparent, connected, and data-driven automotive ecosystem across the region. As insurers, fleet operators, and digital platforms navigate rapid shifts in mobility and risk, AutoData is committed to delivering the insight and technology needed to lead the future, not just adapt to it.

Dubai logistics company and port operators DP World continued to report strong revenue growth, reaching US$11.24 billion, a 20.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) jump, despite the ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Driven by strong performance across Ports & Terminals and recent acquisitions, DP World's adjusted EBITDA reached $3.03 billion, up 21.4 per cent, while container volumes increased 5.6 per cent on a like-for-like basis, reaching 45.4 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) across the global portfolio. EBITDA margin improved 0.2 points to 27.0 per cent. Net profit was up 68.5 per cent to US$960 million, compared to US$570 million in the same period last year. DP World expects to deliver a strong full-year EBITDA performance, supported by sustained throughput growth, operational leverage in Ports & Terminals, strengthening balance sheet, and strategic capex and global integration. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World Group Chairman and CEO, commented on business outlook: 'Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the medium- to long-term outlook for global trade and logistics. As supply chains evolve, DP World is well-positioned to lead the industry in delivering efficient, resilient, and sustainable trade solutions that create long-term value.' On the H1 results, Bin Sulayem added: 'We are pleased to report strong first-half results, with both revenue and EBITDA growing by over 20 per cent. 'Ongoing geopolitical tensions, the continued closure of the Red Sea route, and rising uncertainty around global trade tariffs have caused significant disruption across the industry. Despite these challenges, our strategy of delivering integrated end-to-end solutions and operating critical infrastructure in key markets has allowed us to continue supporting cargo owners to move their freight and to deliver a strong set of results.' The company continues to invest in strategic growth markets, with US$1.08 billion in capital expenditure during the first half of the year. The full-year capex target of US$2.5 billion will support expansion in Jebel Ali Port, Drydocks World, Tuna Tekra (India), London Gateway (UK), and Dakar (Senegal), along with DP World Logistics and P&O Maritime Logistics. These investments are focused on enhancing terminal capacity, supply chain integration, and digital capabilities to support long-term trade resilience. Across terminals where DP World has operational control, the company handled 27.4 million TEU, an increase of 7.5 per cent year-on-year. Yuvraj Narayan, Group Deputy CEO & CFO, commented: 'This performance was underpinned by continued momentum in Ports & Terminals and Marine Services, supported by strong cash generation and a disciplined balance sheet. We remain well-positioned to fund strategic growth, maintain our credit strength, and respond to evolving market conditions.' DP World's freight forwarding platform now spans approximately 300 locations and covers more than 90 per cent of global trade lanes. Bin Sulayem added: 'We continue to enhance our logistics capabilities, allowing us to serve customers seamlessly across the world's major trade lanes. Recent bolt-on acquisitions have expanded our offerings and introduced specialised capabilities aligned with the evolving needs of cargo owners. 'These investments address supply chain inefficiencies and strengthen connectivity across key corridors, enabling us to deliver more resilient, efficient, and tailored solutions.'
