India’s carmakers launch campaign against fake parts
Counterfeit automotive components are a major scourge around the world, and India’s carmakers are mounting a public awareness campaign to highlight the problem. SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) formed an Anti-Counterfeiting Group (ACG) to run multiple online campaigns highlighting the risks associated with what it describes as a ‘tide’ of counterfeit spare parts flooding the Indian market. The trade body has set up a microsite to “create awareness and educate customers about the disadvantages and risks involved in using fake parts for their vehicles,” which could result in costly repairs or even place lives at risk. It also covers validation methods, packaging updates and other best practices to detect fake products
