ETI EU TekHub
The Knowledge Centre Powering the Future of Automotive Diagnostics
TekHub is the dedicated knowledge platform for ETI Europe members. It is where technical insight becomes structured intelligence. Where regulatory change becomes actionable guidance. And where collaboration across the aftermarket becomes focused and productive.
TekHub brings together agendas, technical briefings, meeting notes, standards updates, and working documents from ETI EU's specialist Vertical Groups. These are not static resources. They are living outputs of active industry engagement.
Why TekHub Exists
The automotive aftermarket is evolving at speed:
- Cybersecurity regulation is reshaping access to vehicles
- Secure gateways and encrypted communications are redefining diagnostics
- Connected vehicle architectures are changing how data flows
- ADAS systems are increasing calibration complexity
- OEM documentation access models continue to evolve
Individual companies cannot monitor, interpret, and influence all of this alone.
TekHub exists to centralise:
- Regulatory awareness
- Technical interpretation
- Cross-member insight
- Early visibility of industry direction
- Coordinated engagement strategy
Why Join ETI EU to Access TekHub?
TekHub is available exclusively to ETI EU members.
Membership provides:
- Structured intelligence, not just information
Clear, organised documentation from working groups focused on specific technical domains.
- Early awareness of regulatory impact
Understand implications of EU delegated acts, cybersecurity requirements, telematics policy, and standards developments before they disrupt product roadmaps.
- Collective OEM engagement leverage
ETI works to build relationships and access pathways with OEMs across Europe and globally. TekHub documents and supports that engagement.
- Resource efficiency
Instead of assigning internal teams to track every regulatory and technical development, members can rely on coordinated vertical group activity.
- Influence through participation
Members are not observers. They shape priorities, raise issues, and contribute to position development within the Vertical Groups.
Explore the Vertical Groups
Each Vertical Group focuses on a critical pillar of modern vehicle service and diagnostics.
Cybersecurity & Secure Diagnostics
Maintaining legitimate, compliant diagnostic capability within an increasingly regulated and secured vehicle ecosystem.
Diagnostics & Repair
Ensuring the aftermarket retains practical service capability and remains technically effective as vehicle architectures evolve.
Data Access & Telematics
Addressing the shift from OBD-centric diagnostics to connected and cloud-enabled service models.
ADAS & Safety Systems
Maintaining safe, compliant, and technically robust ADAS servicing capability across the independent aftermarket.
Trainers & Technical Education
This group focuses on ensuring global training capability remains aligned with evolving diagnostic architectures, regulatory requirements, and workshop practice.
Scope
EU and international cybersecurity regulations affecting diagnostic tool access, including UNECE R155/R156, SERMI framework, Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), secure gateway authentication requirements, encrypted communication protocols, and OEM tool certification models.
Why Participate
Stay ahead of cybersecurity mandates before they disrupt diagnostic workflows. Help shape ETI EU's collective position on SERMI implementation, secure remote diagnostics, and access rights under evolving EU regulation.
Scope
OEM service data access frameworks, diagnostic communication standards (OBD/UDS/DoIP), technical service bulletin access, tool interoperability, data licensing models, and independent workshop access rights under EU regulation.
Why Participate
Ensure your organisation has early intelligence on OEM documentation changes, diagnostic standard developments, and licensing models that directly affect workshop capability and tool investment.
Scope
Connected vehicle data access rights, remote and server-based diagnostic architectures, telematics platform interoperability, API integration standards, GDPR and data sovereignty considerations, and OEM data sharing policy.
Why Participate
Engage directly with the transition from physical OBD access to cloud-based diagnostics. Help shape the aftermarket's response to OEM data platform strategies and ensure equitable access to vehicle telematics data.
Scope
ADAS calibration procedures and tooling requirements, electronic Periodic Technical Inspection (ePTI) frameworks, safety system validation standards, OEM-specific calibration data access, and workshop process implications of increasing ADAS complexity.
Why Participate
Access structured technical guidance on ADAS servicing requirements before they reach your workshop. Engage with calibration standards development and influence ETI EU's position on ePTI and safety system access rights.
Scope
The group focuses on:
- Alignment of training content with emerging diagnostic standards
- Interpretation of regulatory and cybersecurity impacts on workshop education
- ADAS and safety system competency frameworks
- Secure gateway access and authentication awareness
- Data access and telematics implications for technicians
- Development of trainers panels at ETI events
- Cross-market knowledge exchange
Why Participate
Members gain:
- Early visibility of technical and regulatory developments
- Direct engagement with tool manufacturers and industry experts
- Insight into evolving standards and architectures
- Opportunity to influence technical education direction
- Participation in dedicated trainers discussions and panels
This vertical group ensures that technical education remains relevant, practical, and aligned with industry evolution.
