Automotive Industry Alert: Regulatory Uncertainty Could Pressure Prices and Production in Colombia

TL;DR

Fenalco and international automotive industry organizations are requesting a 12-month extension for new technical regulations in Colombia.
The request is driven by persistent regulatory uncertainty and pending definitions, not a lack of compliance with safety standards.
Key issues include the coexistence of the US FMVSS standard and pending regulatory impact analyses.
The current electoral context and government transition are also cited as challenges for timely decision-making.
The industry warns that uncertainty could disrupt supply chains, production, imports, inventories, prices, and market stability.
The proposed delay aims for an orderly transition with legal certainty and solid technical implementation.
