Navigating Europe’s Regulatory Maze: A White Paper for Automotive OEMs

Digital services are now central to every new vehicle. From in-car Wi-Fi and streaming to remote software updates, they shape how cars are built, marketed, and experienced. Yet scaling these services across Europe is complicated. Each country has its own telecom rules on SIM registration, data retention, lawful access, and consumer protection. The result is delay, cost, and compliance risk.

Our new Automotive Regulatory White Paper explains how to manage this complexity and turn compliance into a foundation for growth. Based on Telenor IoT’s experience across 30+ European jurisdictions, it gives OEMs practical guidance on building scalable, compliant, and OEM-branded connected services.
