Autodata co-founds ADPA

Following the news of the foundation of the European Independent Automotive Data Publishers Association (ADPA), co-Founder Autodata has released details of its why it has got behind the initiative.

Mark Trepte, content and operations director at Autodata, said: “Seeing the industry come together in this way to work toward positive common causes is hugely constructive and massively beneficial for the wider industry. This is particularly important with the technological advancements in vehicles over recent years, delivering increased levels of complexity.”

“We continue to work closely, not just with the numerous businesses that rely on access to accurate data and instructions, but also the many manufacturers around the world. It will be these strong and positive relationships, along with this new collaborative approach, that will allow us to ensure the aftermarket continues to have access to the up-to-date information it needs.”

Although Autodata is used in more than 100 countries, Europe remains the organisation’s biggest market. It also remains a key area of growth and investment as Autodata continues to become closer to the end user and invests further in regional representation.

As well as Autodata, the other founding members of the ADPA are Robert Bosch GMBH, HaynesPro, Hella Gutman Solutions, Sator Holding LKQ and TecRMI.
