TNI || New Delhi || 10th Sept 2021

The Right to Repair debate continues across the US and the Auto Care Association is indeed fighting hard for the right to repair vehicles in all categories including heavy-duty trucks.

To get that robust support, the Auto care Association is seeking the help of the trucking industry stakeholders to ask the members of Congress to enact the Right To Repair legislation that would include the repair industry concerning commercial vehicles as well.

One of the Auto Care officials says that the Right to Repair is one of the most pressing issues that the industry deals with today, and it is time a stand must be taken.

The reason why Right to Repair legislation is significant for the trucking industry is that the flow of goods completely relies on trucks repair and maintenance by the trucking companies, repair shops, and independent truck technicians.
