The Equipment and Tool Institute (ETI) is a global, non-profit association representing manufacturers of automotive and commercial vehicle tools, equipment, and training solutions. ETI supports its members through technical collaboration, industry alignment, and direct engagement with OEMs.
Training is central to ETI
ETI recognises that training is critical to effective, safe, and future-ready vehicle repair. Our members support technicians, trainers, and training organizations with the tools, data, and standards needed to keep pace with rapidly changing vehicle technology.

ETI supports members working across these platforms, recognising that tools, training, and standards must evolve to reflect how vehicles are designed, regulated, and repaired today.
- Motorcycles and powered two-wheelers
- Light quadricycles and urban mobility vehicles
- Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
- Heavy-duty and HGV applications
