A method for a provision of data. The method includes the following steps carried out in an automated manner: ascertaining the data in a vehicle; carrying out a preparation of the ascertained data, in which a data portion of the data is removed and an artificially generated and reproducible replacement portion is defined by an item of replacement information as an approximation of the removed data portion in order to prepare the data for lossless data compression; carrying out the data compression of the prepared data; initiating a transmission of the data compressed by the data compression via a mobile radiotelephone network, in which the replacement information is transmitted instead of the data portion.
