How will vehicle automation and electrification affect the automotive maintenance, repair sector?
Automation and electrification in road transport are trends that will influence several economic sectors of the European economy. The automotive maintenance and repair (M&R) sector will experience the effects of such transitions in the long term. This paper assesses the research in the road tran...

Automation and electrification in road transport are trends that will influence several economic sectors of the European economy. The automotive maintenance and repair (M&R) sector will experience the effects of such transitions in the long term. This paper assesses the research in the road transport to derive the factors that may influence the M&R demand based on Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) uptake. Starting from current scientific research and grounded on interviews with experts, the paper reviews major drivers influencing M&R demand and provides indications on possible future effects. While for BEVs, previous work has been conducted to estimate the M&R cost variations, the research addressing the impacts of AVs deployment on the M&R sector is at its incipient stage, hence the views of experts were paramount to shed light on this topic. We identified a scientific consensus that BEVs have less M&R requirements compared with Conventional Vehicles (CVs). For AVs, our analysis and expert views identify some important factors influencing M&R requirements: hardware components, software that enables autonomy, the rise in vehicle kilometres travelled leading to higher wear and tear of replaceable parts, the need for adequate cleaning services, especially for fleets and shared vehicles. Further work should look at the impact of regulations and the non-insurable risks linked to M&R requirements. |
