GT Motive’s tools and technologies enable a fast path to normality after a vehicle accident or mechanical breakdown, for example, by streamlining claims handling through more efficient and automated loss assessments. The company has a strong international footprint with a presence in 28 countries, as well as a global network of technology and business partners, including most vehicle manufacturers. Its target market is expected to grow further in the coming years due to the increasing complexity of vehicle components, which require more sophisticated repairs, as well as a general expansion of the total vehicle market.
