Reacting to the new development, Auto1 FT Managing Director Taimur André Rashid, said:

“Our digital solution brings enormous efficiency benefits for car dealers and is setting new standards in the mobility industry…

“In addition to new business areas that we can open up more easily with our digital processes, we’re planning through their use to work together with innovative platforms that have established themselves, such as in Frankfurt, for example.”

Describing the utility embedded in the Ethereum blockchain, the report says, “Using smart contracts reduces the total expenditure and documentation involved in financing a car to a minimum. The increased data security alongside faster and cheaper applications ensures high efficiency. Errors or confusion are virtually impossible thanks to the blockchain.”

Ethereum blockchain will be broadly used in payment modalities, calculations, fees, and all-important credit scoring. The report added that the method promises more service and security for car dealers while retaining the same user interface and general procedure.

Nuno Vaz, Head of Information Technology at Auto1 FT, also said:

“Smart contracts are based on the outstanding properties of blockchain: they are tamper-proof, unalterable and transparent, and are verified by the community. This is what makes them so valuable for our purposes.”

In a single agreement, Auto1 FT aims to provide all vehicle-related contractual details, thanks to Ethereum smart contracts.
