La Commission européenne a fait le choix de réguler le secteur de la distribution automobile par un règlement d'exemption par catégorie, considéré comme un instrument de concurrence favorisant la sécurité juridique. L'objectif poursuivi était le suivant : combattre les effets anticoncurrentiels des accords verticaux du secteur par une intervention directe sur le contrat de distribution. La réforme opérée en 2010 a rompu cet équilibre, la Commission a abandonné son approche sectorielle au profit d'une politique concurrentielle davantage globale et économique. En ce qui concerne le secteur de la vente, le règlement n°1400/2002 perdurera jusqu'au 31 mai 2013, le secteur sera alors soumis au règlement général n°330/2010, au règlement n°461/2010 et à leurs lignes directrices. Les services de l'après-vente sont immédiatement concernés par le nouveau règlement automobile n°461/2010 et par le règlement général n°330/2010 ainsi qu'à leurs lignes directrices respectives. La première règle emportant alignement du secteur automobile sur le règlement général est la généralisation du seuil de 30 % en deçà duquel doivent se situer les parts de marché du constructeur et du distributeur réunies. La Commission abandonne la promotion du multimarquisme dès lors que le constructeur sera en droit d'exiger de son distributeur une obligation d'approvisionnement à hauteur de 80 %. Le point de réforme important reste celui lié à l'abandon des règles relatives à la durée des accords, aux délais de préavis, aux conditions de rupture et au règlement non juridictionnel des litiges. En matière d'après-vente, des règles spécifiques plus strictes que celles prévues par le règlement général, notamment en ce qui concerne l'information technique, les pièces détachées, le refus d'honorer la garantie et l'accès aux réseaux de réparateurs agréés, ont été conservées. / The european Commission has taken the choice to regulate the car sector by an exemption regulation, considered as an effective antitrust tool in order to provide a juridic security. The objective pursued was to fight the anticompetitive effects of vertical agreements by a direct intervention in the contract of distribution. The reform maked in 2010 has upset this balance, the Commission has given up her sectonial approach for a competition policy more than a global and economic one. Concerning the vehicle distribution, the exemption regulation 1400/2002 will come into force until 31 may 2013, then the sector will be submited to the exemption regulation 330/2010, the exemption regulation 461/2010 and their guidelines. The after sales services will be immediately submited to the new exemption regulation 461/2010 and by the exemption regulation 330/2010 and also their guidelines. The first rule who will permit to treat the car distribution like an y other market is the generalization of the uniform market share threshold of 30 % for the motor vehicle supplier and his distributor. The Commission gives up the objective of multi-brand distribution as far as the vehicle supplier can require from his distributor a buying obligation for 80 %. The key of the reform remain the giving up of the rules concerning the terme of the contract, the minimum period of notice, the rupture of contract and the right to refer disputes concerning the fulfilment of their contractual obligations to an independent expert or arbitrator. Concerning after sales services, specific rules more strict than those provided by the general exemption, particularly concerning the technical informations, spared parts, the refuse to honour warranties on motor vehicles and the access to the networks remains of sales services, have been kept.

Loading vehicles like cars, trucks and vans into auto-carriers and designing routes to delivery sub- sets of vehicles to auto dealers according to their orders are relevant tasks in automotive value chain performed by transportation companies. Given the set of complex constraints related to diferent vehicle models (with diferent dimensions) to be feasibly loaded into dierent auto-carrier models plus the auto-carrier eet routing task, transportation com- panies must explore strong computational alternatives to address this optimization prob- lem. In fact, we explore in this dissertation a real world complex problem composed by two sub-problems, both belonging to NP-hard class: routing and loading. After formally dening the tackled problem, we adopt, in this dissertation, a previously studied procedure based on enumeration techniques for loading task and we propose an alternative approach employing Asynchronous Teams concept, which combines local search algorithms in order to cooperate to each other to try to resolve the routing sub-problem. Setting the results provided by our implementation of Iterated Local Search (ILS) approach (already proposed in literature for solving the routing sub-problem) as benchmark, we propose computational experiments considering real-world instances, to compare performance of ILS to ve vari- ants of our Asynchronous Teams implementations. Final results evidence the power of this proposed alternative approach for founding quality solutions and its exibility to easily assume diferent configurations.
