Mobility Data Space and Data for Road Safety join forces
Munich/Brussels, 26 February 2026 – To enhance road safety across Europe, the Mobility Data Space (MDS) and the pan-European initiative Data for Road Safety (DFRS) have officially signed a cooperation agreement. The MDS is a data space funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) that enables sovereign data exchange between companies and public institutions. By combining its expertise and infrastructure with DFRS, a significant contribution is intended to be made toward the EU’s “Vision Zero” objective of eliminating road deaths by 2050. In 2024 alone, 19,940 people lost their lives on EU roads. The economic costs of road accidents are estimated at around EUR 280 billion annually. The partnership supports the objectives of the European Commission and the German Federal Government to advance initiatives such as Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and the secure sharing of mobility data.
