Facilitating communication with automotive vehicle buses may be enabled using a vehicle gateway device (VGWD) and/or a vehicle gateway server (VGWS). In a described implementation, a VGWS may use a vehicle model database to translate requested vehicle data in a generic format from a generic data request into a vehicle-specific data format. VGWS may then send a vehicle-specific data request that has requested vehicle data in the vehicle-specific data format to a VGWD. The VGWD is able to acquire the desired vehicle data from a vehicle bus without translation using the vehicle-specific data format. The VGWD may forward the desired vehicle data in the vehicle-specific data format to the VGWS. The VGWS may then use the vehicle model database to translate the desired vehicle data in the vehicle-specific data format into desired vehicle data in a generic format. This desired generic vehicle data may be returned to a requesting entity.
