CARFAX and Pinnacle Actuarial Resources have jointly developed the innovative CARFAX Vehicle Build Score, designed to revolutionize auto insurance risk assessment by replacing traditional vehicle symbols. This new scoring system utilizes the complete 17-digit VIN to provide insurers with precise vehicle valuation and specific attribute insights.
The score incorporates a proprietary vehicle valuation model that prevents pricing inaccuracies by delivering current market values. Using advanced modeling techniques, CARFAX analyzes vehicle loss experience at the component level, eliminating the need for yearly symbol updates.
Drawing from CARFAX's database of over 36 billion records, the Vehicle Build Score provides detailed insights into factory and post-factory installed features. It's designed for both personal and commercial auto insurance markets, offering VIN-level details that integrate easily into existing rating models. The score is currently being filed and approved by state regulators across the United States.
S&P Global executives warn that the energy transition will be more difficult, costly, and complicated than anticipated, according to their new article in Foreign Affairs. Daniel Yergin, Peter Orszag, and Atul Arya argue that the transition won't unfold linearly but will vary across regions at different rates with different fuel mixes.
The authors highlight that despite record renewable energy production in 2024, oil and coal also reached all-time highs. What's occurring is more "energy addition" than transition, with renewables supplementing rather than replacing conventional sources. The share of hydrocarbons in global energy has only decreased from 85% to 80% since 1990.
Key challenges include:
- The massive cost (estimated at 5% of global GDP annually through 2050)
- Energy security concerns heightened by Russia's Ukraine invasion
- A North-South divide on balancing climate with development priorities
- Mining and mineral constraints (new mines take 20+ years to develop)
- US-China rivalry complicating green supply chains
- Surging electricity demand from EVs, reshoring, and data centers

Material shortages are at a five-year low, though labor shortages are causing backlogs. Transportation costs reached a six-month high in January.
Regional indices show: North America at -0.22 (six-month high), Europe declining to -0.61, UK falling to -0.63 (13-month low), and Asia rising to 0.03.
