Allane Mobility Group Critically Examines EU Data Act's Impact on Automotive Industry

Allane Mobility Group has published a white paper titled "Knitted with a hot needle! The limited benefits of the EU Data Act for the automotive industry, consumers and fleet managers". The report analyzes the EU Data Act's implications in the automotive sector, focusing on challenges and opportunities for companies and consumers. According to Ömer Köksal, the EU Data Act adds limited value due to existing regulations like GDPR.

The white paper highlights that most vehicle-generated data is protected under GDPR. It notes that the EU Data Act's requirement for data release could lead to high compliance costs and risk exposure of company secrets. Fleet managers face difficulties as driver consent for data sharing is hard to obtain and can be retracted anytime.
