Drive

From a number plate to the vehicle’s story.

Drive brought vehicle lookup, plate recognition, import calculations and a driver community into one mobile and web product for Ukraine and Poland.

Vehicle information and driver tools

Vehicle lookup supported by recognition and calculation tools.

Search by registration

The search suggests matching registrations and vehicle models. Opening a result reveals the vehicle’s recorded registration events.

Recognition from a photograph

Number-plate recognition adds an image-based route into vehicle lookup.

Import-cost calculation

The 2019 product included a customs-clearance calculator alongside vehicle information.

A place for the driving community

News, conversations, saved posts and marketplace features extend the product beyond a single search.

01 / Vehicle lookup

Registration search and recorded vehicle events.

DRIVE: Vehicle check

Vehicle check

The lookup starts with a registration number and identifies the data source and available record period. The input stays focused on the identifier needed for the search.

DRIVE: Plate search

Plate search

As the user enters a plate, the list presents matching registrations and vehicle models. Selecting a result takes the user to that vehicle’s available history.

DRIVE: Vehicle history

Vehicle history

The history screen lists recorded registration events for the selected plate. The event descriptions remain attached to the identifier, so users can review what the source actually reports.

02 / Account and access

Sign-in and registration for account-based data access.

DRIVE: Data access

Data access

Restricted data has its own sign-in prompt, keeping the next step visible to the user.

DRIVE: Sign in to DRIVE

Sign in to DRIVE

The account entry screen separates sign-in from registration, giving returning and new users a clear route into the app.

DRIVE: Password

Password

The password form includes a recovery link for users who cannot sign in with their existing credentials.

03 / Driver community

Automotive posts, discussions and saved content.

DRIVE: Driver community

Driver community

The feed combines automotive posts, reactions and comments, with a separate saved-posts view. These tools give users a place to follow topics and return to discussions after completing a vehicle lookup.
