Mission & Goals
The European Association of Independent Vehicle Traders (E.A.I.V.T.) is a community of interest embracing independent dealers and associations in the car trade sector. We represent both national associations and independent companies. Our goal is the strengthening of the market position of our MEMBERS above all through increased co-operation and data exchange. We regularly engage with EU authorities to be able to keep our membership abreast of pending legislative developments and to actively contribute to legislation in the automotive sector. The promotion of free trade in the automotive sector is a milestone of our work and we are working to help reduce trade barriers wherever they occur. For further information please also visit our website www.eaivt.org.
