In this position paper, ACEA outlines how heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) manufacturers have already developed proven processes and effective systems to exchange vehicle data. The connected HDV market is already booming while serving customer and integrator needs, and regulatory intervention is not required. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The European Commission has contemplated regulation for the connected vehicle data market for several years. The EU\u2019s Data Act proposal sets out horizontal principles to ensure fair access to and greater consumer control of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACEA welcomes the Data Act, which will guarantee user rights to the data generated by their products. The legislation will ensure that users are given access to the same data as the manufacturer, can control who has access to it, and can share this data with service providers of their choice. These user rights would eliminate any remaining data gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Commission is also considering adopting specific rules on data-driven services in the transport sector, in addition to those established under the Data Act. In EU-commissioned studies that examine the potential impact of sector-specific rules, the differences between the functions and applications of HDVs and passenger cars are often neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HDV manufacturers have already developed proven processes and effective systems to exchange vehicle data. The connected HDV market is already booming while serving customer and integrator needs, and as such, ACEA believes that further regulatory intervention is not required.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Support HDV market specificities<\/strong>
    Any legislation on access to HDV data, functions, and resources must serve the customer\u2019s needs. The customer should retain control of data sharing and vehicle APIs with third parties of choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Support the competitiveness of the European HDV industry<\/strong>
    Regulation should not restrict manufacturers\u2019 responsibility for securing access to vehicle integration and their ability to serve their customers\u2019 specific applications and segment solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fully leveraging the Data Act<\/strong>
    The Data Act addresses all outstanding issues highlighted by the Commission and the automotive aftermarket regarding access to in-vehicle data, whether on the connected car service market or the connected HDV service market. ACEA believes that the comprehensive requirements proposed in the Data Act mean that additional legislation on access to in-vehicle data is unnecessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\t\t
