    Goals / Remit

    Established in 1993, the European Campaign for the Freedom of the Automotive Parts and Repair Market (ECAR) is an alliance of 10 independent EU organisations representing vehicle parts producers, distributors, independent repairers, the European motor insurance industry, a large cross section of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as the 260 million motoring consumers in the European Union.


    ECAR's main objective is to safeguard and promote free competition and to prevent that vehicle makers can monopolise the vehicle spare parts market by abuse of design protection.
