Key Objectives of the Data Act

Coming into effect September 12 2025, the EU Data Act seeks to grow the data economy and protect consumer rights in a number of ways. 

  • Access & Portability

    To ensure users (like vehicle owners or fleet managers) can access the data their products generate - and share it with third parties of their choice.

  • Fair Business Use

    To use large online platforms from unfairly restricting access to industrial data, especially when it impacts service providers or SMEs.

  • Support for Innovation

    To encourage the development of new digital services - such as predictive maintenance, usage-based insurance, or energy-efficient fleet management, enabled by making data more widely available.

  • Protection of Trade Secrets and Privacy

    To guarantee that data sharing respects business confidentiality and complies with data protection laws like GDPR.

Why it matters for connected cars

Modern vehicles are complex digital devices that generate massive volumes of data — from engine performance to navigation, fuel efficiency, and more. The Data Act ensures that:

  • You, as the user, have the right to access raw and preprocessed data generated by the use of your vehicle or related services.

  • At your request, third parties (like independent repairers or app developers) can use this data to offer better services.

  • Data is shared securely and transparently, with clear safeguards.

Business Users  – for fleet operators, leasing companies & mobility providers: 

You can access data through the Vehicle Data API, an open interface for retrieving vehicle information.

It provides status details and basic data for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles whose owners have consented to share their data.

Vehicle status information includes: charging status, powertrain status, vehicle location, driving status, sensor-based status, and climate control.

Vehicle basic data covers: powertrain information, speed-related data, driving-related data, and data derived from vehicle sensors.

The data available depends on vehicle type and model. You can find details in the API Compatibility section.

To use the Vehicle Data API, you must first apply for access. Detailed instructions are available here.

The API uses an OAuth 2.0–based token authentication method. You must obtain an access token using client credentials and include it in the Authorization header of all subsequent requests.

If you have any questions, please contact us via our Data Services Contact Form ] or by email at data-services.support@hyundai-europe.com.
