Thank you Dan Jasnow and MEMA. The Vehicle Suppliers Association for your efforts here. Most Americans don’t understand yet the potential impact of what’s to come “if” they (and Independant repair shops and manufacturers) can’t access their data. Why? Because this is only impacting newer vehicles that aren’t of the age of seeing parts fail just yet. The technology being employed in todays vehicles can prohibit the consumer of choosing “where and how” to repair their vehicle (this is not an issue for example for a 2014 F150 or a 2009 Honda Accord) If this isn’t addressed appropriately now, future owners of these current vehicles will be forced to go to OE repair facilities and only have ability to purchase OE parts. Today ~70% of Americans choose their own repair shop with aftermarket solutions….think about that future impact. Again, thank you for your time helping educate and defend Americans’ future freedom of choice. #Automotive #RightToRepair

The <a href="https://lnkd.in/eT97YVE3">Right to Repair Campaign</a>, which lobbies against vehicle manufacturers’ closed information and data provision systems in favour of an independent aftermarket, will relaunch with a new framing based on motorists’ ability to choose aftermarket vehicle servicing providers. UK AFCAR, a coalition of likeminded trade associations and organisations that has lobbied successfully to secure important gains in the reviewed Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Order (MV-BEO). https://lnkd.in/ewXmjQTr

Following the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision Carglass® Germany/Belron® ATU against FCA (Stellantis) on 5 October 2023, the case was referred back to the Regional Court of Cologne for its decision. This Court has now ruled in favour of Carglass® Germany/Belron and ATU securing access to technical information and competition in the #automotive #aftermarket. It emphasizes that OEMS : • have to let independent operators not only access, but also process and use technical information; • may not impose other conditions and restrictions (whether technical or financial) than the ones explicitly mentioned in Type-Approval Regulation 2018/858. By doing so, the court removes anti-competitive barriers and secures the ability of repairers to continue accessing the information they need to perform #repair and #maintenance operations. Such barriers are now unequivocally ruled as unlawful, in a judgment that will need to be respected by all market operators in the European Union. CECRA is of the opinion that security concerns may not serve as an excuse to restrict or block competition where alternative, proportionate measures can be put in place to mitigate them.

Powersports dealers in BC, are you thinking big? Your October 6th Dealer Summit is fast approaching. The 2024 Dealer Summit kicks off with keynote speaker Mark Sheffield. He was a hit at last year's Summit; he knows dealer life like few others. You get a fresh insight into the day to day workings in a dealership. Mark will have you talking - and thinking - for months afterwards! (I didn't write that, just saying) Additional expert presenters and presentations include: - Financial forecast for the industry in 2025.  - Fraud and cyber security are an increasing fact of business. - Federated Insurance experts will weigh in on working together! - Employment law updates. It can be a minefield out there. Learn your rights and obligations including reducing risks with social media. - A very tasty lunch and learn with Moto Canada and the Vancouver Motorcycle and Powersports Show. Hear the new ideas for 2025! - Industry updates on vehicle sales compliance, EV two-wheel sales incentives, careers, rider training, changes to the motor vehicle act, off-road issues, and opportunities. I'm still working on my presentation, so I can't give you any insight into what I'm going to talk about. But, as usual, it probably won't be what you thought it would be. Sign up before it's too late. https://lnkd.in/enFznV92 Paul McGeachie #MPBC #Powersports #Summit #Canada

Texas Motorcycle Dealers Association annual conference is fast approaching. Are you registered? I am excited about this year's conference (been a bit since I got back to see all my friends). We've filed some formal protests against industry vendors for multiple violations of state laws, and I'm hoping by the time we attend the conference that these issues will have been resolved and the vendors will once again be operating in compliance with the laws of the great state. Can't wait to bring everyone up to speed. These could be big wins for Texas dealers, who have long been enduring vendor overreach. And, on top of that, this year's featured speaker is Curtis Dubay!!! Chief Economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. There isn't much about the economy that Curtis can't speak to. You would be nuts to miss out on this year's TMDA conference. More about Mr. Dubay: Curtis Dubay, chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, leads the Chamber’s Chief Economists Committee, which analyzes economic conditions and helps shape public policy. With a background that includes roles at the American Bankers Association, The Heritage Foundation, and PwC PricewaterhouseCoopers, Dubay is a respected voice in economic policy, frequently cited by major media outlets and having testified before Congress. He holds degrees in economics from the University of Connecticut and the University of Richmond, and resides in Washington, D.C., with his family. With the outlook of the economy looking a little fuzzy, someone like Curtis Dubay can help dealers to focus on the topics and issues that are meaningful. Hope to see you all there. #TMDA #CurtisDubay #USCOC #Economist
