Founded last month to ‘ensure fair access to automotive data and information’, the new association, refereed to as the ADPA, was established by Autodata, Robert Bosch GmbH, HaynesPro, Hella Gutman Solutions, Sator Holding LKQ and TecRMI.
Ralf Pelkmann of TecRMI, and president of the association said: “It is an historic day for the data publishing industry to join forces in view of keeping track of market and EU political developments and of speaking with one voice.
“Major industry players are represented in the association and we are all proud of this significant achievement.”
Peter Van der Galiën of HaynesPro, and Vice-President of the ADPA said: “By making sure that the independent aftermarket operators get all the information they need, the association will ultimately enable competitive choice to motoring consumer and businesses in the care of all vehicles.”
