Abstract

The automotive aftermarket keeps 1.5 billion vehicles globally on the road while contributing $1.8 trillion to the global economy. Throughout the car’s life, multi-brand repair shops perform a huge majority of the repairs needed. This vibrant industry and the consumer choice that it creates are being threatened by a lack of access to wirelessly transmitted vehicle repair and maintenance data and information. Without the convenient and affordable choice of independent parts and repair, consumers will have limited access to affordable vehicle services and repair. These restrictions can have negative effects on local economies and the well-being and safety of millions who rely on vehicle transportation daily. In the chapter, we will go through some of the most significant legislative and regulatory dossiers being adopted at the European Union and United Nations level, affecting the automotive aftermarket and consumers’ right to repair their vehicles at a workshop of their choice.
