Abstract: So far, there have been several studies conducted on the subject of automotive cartels, and the majority of the studies you see focus exclusively on cartels. Collusion in the automotive industry was relatively uncommon in the past. However, due to the increasing level of competition in this industry, auto manufacturers are increasingly colluding in a number of areas to survive. The Scania cartel case provided us with a clearer understanding of the phenomenon of automotive cartels, as well as how EU competition law is applied to cartel member's violations and how the European Commission approaches complex infringements. Due to this case, it becomes apparent that there are many legal loopholes within the private enforcement sector, and that victims also face a number of challenges when seeking damages from auto manufacturers.
