CLEPA Aftermarket Conference 2026

|

The automotive aftermarket is entering a defining phase. From the implementation of new rules for secure access to OBD information, challenging Euro 7 brake emission standards, the Data Act for access to in-vehicle data, and the ongoing revision of the Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation (MVBER), a new wave of legislation is reshaping the sector.

The 2026 edition of the CLEPA Aftermarket Conference will highlight how collaboration empowers competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market. Europe’s leading event for the sector will bring together senior executives, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to unpack what these changes mean in practice, and how cybersecurity measures are opening fresh opportunities for repair and maintenance services.
