The right to repair and the option to choose aftermarket products is not only an interest of the producers but most of all is an action that should be supported by and for the consumers. Europe is moving towards this direction for consumer electronics and home appliances with the new directives in force since 30th of July 2024. Aftermarket players are fighting for a similar right to be introduced, in the face of moves from OE producers that are more and more leveraging on their power to control the data generated by vehicles and other commercial practices that try to limit competition and consequently consumer choice. At Frankfurt Automechanika the issue was discussed again (see link) and it is true that steps have been made in the right direction by EU during the years. Still, the are countries blocking a EU-wide legislation (France, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovenia) but we are still far from a solution to the issue. A Europe-wide Repair Clause should be introduced and design protection should not be extended to visible automotive spare parts (and should be avoided of vehicles inner workings as well). Here's hoping the new commission will listen to ECAR and the voices of the R2RG meeting to move things ahead. It's about time

I just completed CPE Guideline for the Automotive industry as comprehensive guideline . The automotive industry is one of the most rapidly expanding industries both in Saudi Arabia and in several other countries worldwide. This essential and vital sector plays a significant role in the growth and advancement of supporting industries by generating a considerable volume of output and fostering demand all around the world. In line with the Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program, the Saudi Arabian government has set a few promising strategic directions for further enhancing the automotive industry throughout the upcoming decade, from 2025 to 2030. The automotive sector of Saudi Arabia is expected to expand profusely on all accounts by 2025, in terms of volume, value, variety, employment, revenue generation, and supporting business opportunities. Production facilities are expected to boom rapidly on a large scale after 2021, which in the long run is anticipated to uplift the overall production number of vehicles up to 1.6 million by 2029. At the same time, the number of new car agents, distributors, and traders is anticipated to burgeon vigorously by an annual growth rate of around 50% after the year 2023. Sales and distribution infrastructure will also mature; as a result, the number of authorized showrooms and dealerships for cars and new trucks will be doubled by 2030 and uplifted up to 330 shops. There will be a significant emergence of body and chassis shops with an ample number of spray painting services throughout all regions and cities. Established body shops and authorized dealers will be given the permit to provide enhanced services, including paint-less dent repair services and synthetic rubber backed panels. This foresight, prediction, and systemic exploration of the impact of the strategic direction could be valuable for forthcoming managers, professionals, authorities, and participants in the automotive industry as a whole. Manufacturers, importers, exporters, and consumers of motor vehicles in the Saudi Arabian market will especially benefit from the insights and findings of this sectoral outlook analysis. The existing limitations, challenges, government rules, and policies are identified and critically evaluated, and important suggestions are presented in the concluding parts of this text.
