“Intelligent” tires thanks to cutting-edge sensors placed in the tread. Microchips able to detect the conditions of the road, the surrounding environment and to monitor pressure and temperature in order to adapt the behavior of the vehicle.

Remanufacturing, automotive component’s second life, is a growing business. But beware of counterfeits

Sustainability, low cost and reuse, are the pillars underpinning the development of the automotive remanufacturing sector. A market worth 7.4 billion Euro in Europe alone which, according to many analysts, is expected to grow further over the next few years. Nevertheless, a great threat to the whole sector is represented by a well known phenomena, counterfeits! Which translates into a 10 billion Euro loss each year for official EU suppliers of mechanical parts, accessories and electrical devices.

ACEA Conference: EGEA and “Independents” to protect free competition in the industry

ACEA presented its proposal for the so-called "Extended Vehicle", which plans to channel all communications and data via servers owned by the manufacturer of the vehicle in order to guarantee upgradeability, accessibility, data security and privacy protection.

The 2017 edition of Autopromotec is a sell-out

The next edition of Autopromotec, the most specialised international exhibition of automotive equipment and aftermarket products to be held in Bologna from 24th-28th May 2017, is shaping up to be an even more dynamic and must-attend event than past editions. At roughly six months from the opening, exhibition space for most product sectors has already sold out. Organisers are also announcing a strong increase in the number of exhibitors (+19% increase over the same period in 2014), a factor that has led to the upgrading and optimisation of several exhibition areas.

Connected cars: new European case studies and proposals from German manufacturers. Another threat to independence?

The work of the European Commission on the definition of a standardized vehicle data access platform continues without let up. A study is, in fact, currently evaluating the feasibility of the proposals on the table. Meanwhile, German manufacturers and component suppliers have signed an agreement to support a system in which all data will have to pass through a car manufacturer's portal, which, on paper, meets all the free-competition policy requirements, but in reality is causing many sleepless nights for a number independent workshops.
