ADPA - Automotive Data Publishers Association’s Post

Thirty associations representing the multi-brand vehicle aftermarket in Australia (Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association), Brazil (ANDAP - Associação Nacional dos Distribuidores de Autopeças), Canada (Automotive Industries Association of Canada), Colombia (ASOPARTES), India (ACMA India), South Africa (MIWA, Retail Motor Industry Organisation, Right to Repair South Africa, TEPA: Tyres, Equipment, Parts Association), the USA (Auto Care Association, Equipment and Tool Institute (ETI), MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers), and from almost twenty European countries, as well as European associations representing their sectors at European Union’s level (ADPA - Automotive Data Publishers Association, CECRA, CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers, EGEA - European Garage Equipment Association aisbl, FIGIEFA - Automotive Aftermarket Distributors), have gathered in Frankfurt during #Automechanika 2024, for the Right to Repair Global meeting (R2RG). Over the years, the R2RG meeting has increasingly become a crucial platform for dialogue and collaboration among the associations representing the multi-brand #automotive #aftermarket worldwide. More than just a gathering, this forum actively shapes the future of the industry. A central focus includes addressing common challenges. A significant challenge is for example the need to maintain unrestricted access to Repair and Maintenance Information (RMI), technical information, and the freedom to use tools and spare parts. With the advent of #digitalisation and the emergence of software-defined vehicle, new concerns have arisen, including access to in-vehicle generated #data, the vehicle’s operational functions and resources, the growing absence of repair information for #ElectricVehicle #batteries, and the increasing issue of parts captivity. In this context, vehicle manufacturers gain a competitive advantage by controlling the data generated by vehicles. This control impacts the quantity and quality of information available to independent service providers, ultimately limiting digital opportunities for the businesses and restricting the #freedom of #choice for the #consumers. The participants agreed on the urgent need for a fair playing and robust legislative backing to address these challenges across various regions of the world. Effective #enforcement measures are essential to ensure that all stakeholders adhere more closely to automotive regulations. https://lnkd.in/eNgZxbcJ
