    GDSO wants to enable services based on a global, open, standardized and secured data platform, under a robust and transparent governance, thus supporting a sustainable and simplified mobility journey.
     
  • during the past 6 years, a taskforce within ETRTO** defined the outlines of tyre data standards and a global technical solution for retrieving data from participating companies, based on a unique item identifier (UII), that shall open the door for various stakeholders to new connected services.
    Therefore GDSO can already benefit of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), offering the flavour of the innovative service value proposition: tasks solved more easily along the tyre value chain, thanks to the tyre electronic identification and API aimed at retrieving standardized data through remote execution.
     
    GDSO is getting organized to allow its members to be vocal and reporting stakeholders needs, thus allowing a continuous innovation process, based on a standardized secure platform enabling components services and solutions, as simple as possible.
