A Blockchain-Enabled Framework for Secure Vehicle Lifecycle Management

Abstract The automotive sector suffers from fragmented records for vehicle ownership, servicing, insurance, and regulatory compliance. These silos permit frauds such as odometer manipulation, fake service histories, duplicate registration documents, and fraudulent insurance claims, reducing trust in secondary markets and complicating regulatory enforcement. This paper proposes a permissioned blockchain-based Vehicle Lifecycle Management (VLM) model that records manufacturing, registration, servicing, ownership transfers, accident reports, and insurance events as immutable transactions. The model leverages cryptographic hashing, decentralized peers (manufacturers, service centers, insurers, RTOs), permissioned consensus (e.g., PBFT/RAFT), smart contracts for automated transfers and claims, and encryption for privacy. Primary case studies (BMW Part Chain, Hyundai MOBIUS, Renault initiatives, IBM Hyperledger pilots) are analyzed to validate feasibility. Evaluation metrics include fraud reduction potential, verification time improvement, interoperability, and privacy. The paper concludes with findings on benefits, implementation challenges, and recommended next steps for pilot deployment.
