๐ง Nuovo decreto per i centri di revisione: cambiano le regole sulle verifiche degli strumenti di controllo.
Il Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti ha introdotto una normativa che impone, per la prima volta, la verifica obbligatoria della conformitร metrologica per tutte le attrezzature tecniche impiegate nei controlli periodici dei veicoli a motore e dei loro rimorchi.
Il decreto stabilisce che le verifiche, sia iniziali (pre-esercizio) che periodiche, potranno essere effettuate solo da soggetti accreditati secondo gli standard ISO 17020 e ISO 17025, certificazioni giร adottate a livello internazionale.
๐ Tra le principali novitร :
โก๏ธ Verifica di pre-esercizio obbligatoria per ogni nuovo strumento prima della messa in uso;
โก๏ธ Obbligo di terzietร per chi esegue le verifiche, per garantire indipendenza da qualsiasi attivitร commerciale, produttiva o di manutenzione;
โก๏ธ Introduzione di requisiti di accreditamento da ottenere presso Accredia, con un periodo transitorio di 24 mesi per adeguarsi;
โก๏ธ Possibilitร di separare le funzioni interne per mantenere lโattivitร di verifica anche allโinterno di aziende produttrici o venditrici.

Talent doesnโt have a gender.
Today, fixing a car isnโt just about wrenches and grease. Itโs about software, data, and cutting-edge diagnostics.
The reality? Many young women donโt even consider this industry as a career path. The lack of awareness and persistent stereotypes create a โdream gapโ that limits aspirations before they even begin.
At Autopromotec 2025, weโre not just talking about inclusion: weโre taking action.
๐ค Thatโs why at Autopromotec 2025, weโre launching WAW! โ Women in the Autopromotec World. A special event that will take place during the fair for shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for women in the automotive sector. Whit only 24% of the global automotive workforce being female (Deloitte) and in Italy just around 18%, and 1,300 women officially working as mechanics in workshops across our country (Confcommercio), itโs time to create opportunities, visibility, and train the next generation of mobility innovators.
The real change will come when no one is surprised to see a woman leading a motorsport team, calibrating a sensor, or managing a high-tech repair shop.
We are excited to announce that Autopromotec 2025 will host an innovative event dedicated to the body shop industry, thanks to the collaboration with Collins Srl, publisher of Notiziario Motoristico, together with IBIS Worldwide and BodyShop News.
๐ Event programme:
With two separate appointments, NM BODYSHOP FORUM, 21 and 22 May, and NM BODYSHOP LIVE, 23 May in Hall 29, experts and industry leaders will come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the body shop market, both nationally and internationally.
You will have the opportunity to learn more about the transformation of the bodywork industry in an increasingly digitised and sustainable world.
๐ฌ๐ง Autopromotec 2025: The journey continues in London!
Another key step towards Autopromotec 2025 has just wrapped up. Hosted in the prestigious halls of the Italian Embassy in London, we had the opportunity to present the latest updates, numbers, and thematic areas of the upcoming Autopromotec 2025, taking place May 21-24 at BolognaFiere.
๐น An open dialogue with international media and institutions to showcase how Autopromotec continues to grow as a global hub for the automotive aftermarket sector.
๐ค A huge thank you to our distinguished speakers for sharing their expertise:
Renzo Servadei, our CEO and Enrica Lazzarini, Communication Manager Autopromotec who introduced the press conference;
Frank Schlehuber, Senior Consultant Market Affairs CLEPA, joining remotely introducing the IAM International Aftermarket Meetings Convention that will take place during Autopromotec 2025, dedicated to addressing the industry's most important topics;
Matteo Costariol, Founder Global Marketing Architecture, and Riccardo Paterni, Co-Founder & VP Business Development RPM.Italia who presented The Motorsport, a one-day event within the Fair, fully dedicated to the motorsport industry and its impact on the aftermarket sector.
A special thanks also to the Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale e della Cooperazione Internazionale, ITA -Italian Trade Agency, and Counselor Umberto Bernardo for their support in strengthening the connection between the Italian automotive industry and the international market.

Connotata sin dallโinizio come rassegna internazionale, Autopromotec (allora si chiamava SARP - Salone Attrezzature Ricostruzione Pneumatici) nasce nel 1965 a Roma dalla volontร di AIRP (Associazione Italiana Ricostruttori Pneumatici), con lโobiettivo di dare visibilitร allo sviluppo tecnologico del settore della ricostruzione in forte espansione in quegli anni.
Dal 1967, a Bologna, si consolida la formula biennale che contraddistingue tuttora il salone. A partire dal 1973 si apre una nuova fase e al SARP viene affiancato il SIAC (Salone Internazionale Attrezzature, Autofficine e Carrozzerie), per divenire poi nel 1991, insieme, Autopromotec.
La svolta decisiva avviene nel 2005, quando Autopromotec apre a nuovi settori merceologici come quelli dei ricambi, componenti e car service per rappresentare lโintero mondo dellโaftermarket automobilistico.
Autopromotec rappresenta oggi una sorta di selezione di fiere specializzate dove, grazie al focus hall-by-hall del salone, i visitatori possono agevolmente pianificare percorsi merceologici personalizzati a seconda degli interessi professionali.
La formula esclusiva di Autopromotec rende oggi la manifestazione come la piattaforma di tecnologie avanzate, innovazioni, novitร di prodotto e opportunitร di mercato riferimento del settore; una fiera con un patrimonio invidiabile di specializzazione, rappresentativitร e professionalitร che, grazie agli espositori sempre qualificati (esclusivamente produttori e rappresentanti autorizzati), ha tenuto il passo, in quasi cinquantโanni di storia, con la crescita tecnologica e professionale del settore automotive, diventando un riferimento imprescindibile tra domanda e offerta, come luogo dove si possono ancora cogliere opportunitร di business e creare networking, a livello globale.
AUTOPROMOTEC: YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Branded from its earliest beginnings as an โinternational exhibitionโ, Autopromotec (back then called SARP โ Exhibition of Tyre Retreading Equipment) was born in 1965 in Rome thanks to an AIRP (Italian Tyre Retreaders Association) initiative meant to give visibility to the technological developments experienced by the retreading sector in those years.
In 1967 the exhibition, now held in Bologna, launched the biennial formula still popular nowadays. A new phase begins in 1973, and SARP is partnered with SIAC (International Exhibition of Equipment, Car repair garages and Car body shops), and in 1991 the two exhibitions join together to form one, called Autopromotec.
The big turning point occurs in 2005, when Autopromotec includes new product sectors such as spare parts, components and car service to embrace the whole automotive aftermarket.
Today Autopromotec represents a selection of specialized trade shows where attendees can, thanks to the division of the show floor into sector-related halls, plan custom-made visits based on their professional interests.
The exclusive approach adopted by Autopromotec makes the show a showcase of cutting edge technologies, innovations, new products and market opportunities which are a benchmark for the sector. The exhibition has established an enviable reputation as a specialized, representative and professional event for highly qualified exhibitors (only manufacturers and authorized dealers) and, in its fifty-year history, it has kept pace with the technological and professional growth of the automotive sector, becoming a must-see for the supply and demand network. Autopromotec is the place where business opportunities turn into global networking strategies.
