Automotive Aftermarket Sector Working Towards ‘safer Drives' By Organising, Standardising & Digitising Trade Channel & Products
MOTORINDIA|February 2019

Travelling on roads is a vital part of everyone’s life. It’s something that just can’t be ignored. We need to travel for both personal and professional purposes. But our safety is an important concern too. Our country boasts of having the world’s second largest road network which caters to just about 1% of the global vehicle population. While this may seem like a lot of uncluttered free miles per vehicle it doesn’t ensure safe travels always. Road accidents take place in high numbers. It is estimated that India is losing its youth aged between 15 and 29 years to road traffic injuries, with our country leading the world in road crash deaths and injuries.

Automotive Aftermarket Sector Working Towards ‘safer Drives' By Organising, Standardising & Digitising Trade Channel & Products

The present team at Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) is committed towards increasing road safety and is looking at an ‘accident-free India’. In order to make Indian roads safer, the Government will implement stringent regulations over the next few years, making them in line with global standards practiced worldwide. However, the responsibility does not lie only with the government. As an industry, the automotive sector also has a big role to play.

The industry has realised that only by making the products available once to the road users via OE channel is not enough to manage end-to-end safety on our roads and that it is equally important for aftersales service to be redefined with the help of digital technologies and innovations so that the vehicle is fit not only when it leaves an OEM factory but it remains fit for safer drives throughout its life time.
