Week 39: European automotive & regulated data

Sintesi

Europe's regulated data landscape is moving from regulation to operation. New Annex X deadlines are taking effect, new carmakers are entering Europe, and deciding who gets access is becoming as important as making data available.

Risultati principali

• A new Annex X deadline takes effect on 23 September 2026, the first in a series of operational requirements running to June 2028.
• Chery, GAC, Dongfeng, XPeng, Lucid and others are expanding in Europe, bringing new needs for regulated data access.
• When Skywell's UK importer stopped trading, the cars stayed on the road, and so did their need for repair and data access.
• From 18 February 2027 the Battery Passport applies, and verifying who gets access becomes an operational question.
