- Behind cardossier is a business ecosystem that aims to create greater efficiency and trust in the vehicle market. The platform seamlessly records all information on a vehicle’s lifecycle – from production to scrapping.

Its members include private companies, car importers, insurance companies, industry associations and road traffic authorities – and PostFinance as the payment provider.
