Ford and J.D. Power ChromeData, a leading provider of vehicle data and software solutions, revealed this week their agreement to use Ford and Lincoln vehicle build data for ChromeData VIN Descriptions.

More generally, ChromeData helps J.D. Power develop advanced automotive technologies to make driving better for everyone. These technologies enable the company’s industry partners to efficiently support and promote vehicle sales, parts, and services.

‘We are committed to help Ford and Lincoln customers get the most accurate insurance quotes for their vehicle. This is another way we are helping provide value to our customers as part of owning a Ford or Lincoln,’ stated Amy Graham, Services Marketing director at Ford Motor Company.

The automaker’s manufacturing data delivers a complete view of a given vehicle’s feature content. When used alongside the extensive ChromeData Vehicle Catalog, this data can provide precise VIN descriptions – which are crucial for insurance companies, dealers, financers, marketers, and general valuation efforts. With this partnership, ChromeData will be able to access build data for approximately 80% of the automotive brands purchased in the U.S.

‘For nearly three decades, ChromeData has set the standard for the most accurate, timely and complete vehicle data and content in the industry,’ stated Craig Jennings, president of the Autodata Solutions division at J.D.
