Milestones of local homologationTo assess possibility and efforts for potential distributor to obtain local whole vehicle type approval, several questions must be answered beforehand. Here is a questionnaire for supplier or manufacturer of vehicles:

  1. Is manufacturer of vehicles able to grant distributor the right to be representative in a country of Customs union with eligibility to apply for homologation?
  2. Does manufacturer of vehicles have representative company(ies) in other than that country in Customs union?
  3. If no, can manufacturer grant obligations to distributor to be formal representative for all countries of Customs union?
  4. Will manufacturer support distributor with proceeding quality management audits of production sites?
  5. If the vehicle has European homologation, which ECE (UN) system approvals from the list could be provided?
