FIGIEFA demands full vehicle data access for independent repairers

FIGIEFA - Fédération Internationale des Grossistes, Importateurs & Exportateurs en Fournitures Automobiles / International Federation of Automotive Distributors, 4 Feb 2021

The group requests clarification that manufacturers must provide machine-readable data datasets alongside website access. They demand that the complete vehicle diagnostics data stream remains accessible via the physical connector for all repair purposes. Finally, they urge that security access rules focus specifically on anti-theft features rather than general vehicle integrity.

Guaranteed access to comprehensive vehicle data ensures independent garages can remain competitive.

Vehicle manufacturers would lose the ability to restrict data to proprietary systems.
