Studie zum Kfz-Service in Europa

Since June 19, 2011, the automobile industry in Europe has been subject to EU Regulation 566/2011, according to which manufacturers are obligated to release electronic data enabling the exact identification of replacement parts for vehicles. This will further strengthen the position of independent service providers in the aftermarket sector, a sector that includes automotive services, parts, and the maintenance business. In the future, independent operators will thus have the same access to electronic repair and diagnostic information enjoyed by authorized repair shops.
