A major shift in the automotive industry is underway as the "right to repair" movement gains momentum, with several states and countries implementing laws that require manufacturers to provide consumers with access to repair information and parts. This long-overdue change aims to reduce electronic waste and empower car owners to fix their vehicles independently, rather than relying on costly dealership repairs. However, despite this progress, a significant blind spot remains: large trucks and heavy equipment. As consumers increasingly demand more autonomy and control over their vehicles, manufacturers must now address the needs of commercial and agricultural users, who require specialized equipment and repair services. With the right to repair movement expanding, the industry must adapt to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
'Right to repair' is coming to cars, but there's still this big blind spot as consumers demand more autonomy Fortune
