The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by innovation and a collective focus on sustainability and safety. Dealers are at the heart of this change, playing a pivotal role in educating consumers and promoting safer practices on the road. While initiatives like the PLI scheme have accelerated advancements in manufacturing, emerging areas such as Automated Testing Stations (ATS) and vehicle scrapping programs require similar government support. By leveraging their influence, dealers can help shape consumer behaviour towards road safety and sustainability, ensuring a greener, safer future for the automotive sector and beyond.

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

🛠️ Maintenance as a competitive advantage at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France ⚙️ While many manufacturing companies have chosen to outsource equipment maintenance to reduce costs, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) plant in Onnaing, northern France, has opted to make maintenance a strategic pillar in achieving its goal of producing 3 million vehicles over the next 10 years, double its current annual production. To understand how TMMF has turned maintenance into a competitive advantage, Marris Consulting is pleased to welcome Reynald Debaut-Henocque, former Senior Vice President of Production at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France, who has witnessed the entire evolution of Toyota's industrial activity in France since 1999. The plant operates on a 3 x 8 schedule (a rarity in the European automotive industry), which significantly limits access to maintenance equipment and has necessitated a rethinking of the maintenance process. As Vice President of Production, Reynald was one of the key players in the success of Toyota Motor Manufacturing France. During this webinar, he will present the key elements of maintenance at Toyota. This approach, inspired by Formula 1, is of interest due to its divergence from industry norms. Join us on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at 4 p.m. (Paris time) to benefit from Reynald's experience on this topic! Registration link (free!) 👇 https://lnkd.in/eagKt6aS #Webinar #Lean #Maintenance #Toyota
