European alert, automatic blocking: B-Parts blocked parts from 949 models. "We use AI to help us"

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 18:33

The company B-Parts implemented a European alert system with automatic blocking that stopped parts from 949 vehicle models. The system was developed to cross-reference European alerts with the company's catalog, functioning as a regulatory compliance and safety tool.

Since its implementation, the system has already resulted in 3,299 parts restrictions. These restrictions are applied automatically when incompatibilities or problems identified in European alerts regarding certain components are detected.

The company uses artificial intelligence to assist the entire process of identifying and blocking parts. The AI automatically cross-references European alert data with the available catalog, making the process faster and more efficient.

However, despite the support of artificial intelligence, the final decision on blocking parts is not made automatically by technology. The B-Parts catalog team is responsible for analyzing and validating each restriction before it is applied, thus ensuring human supervision in the process.

Why this matters

The implementation of this automatic blocking system may directly affect consumers and workshops that depend on replacement parts, especially for models covered by the restrictions. The mixed approach of AI with human supervision establishes a new quality control standard that other companies in the sector may adopt.

Buying a used car? These signs can reveal it was already a TVDE

When buying a used car in Portugal, it is important to know how to identify if the vehicle was previously used as a TVDE (Uber, Bolt), as it may have accumulated more wear and tear than it appears. The main signs include high mileage compared to the car's age, inspections more frequent than normal (TVDE vehicles undergo annual inspection from the first year), unusual wear on rear seats and door handles, marks on the windscreen from mounts or cameras, and traces of old stickers. The law approved in 2026 reinforces the identification of these vehicles with anti-fraud elements. A former TVDE vehicle is not necessarily a bad purchase, but the buyer should adjust the price and condition assessment, always requesting the complete documentary history and an independent mechanical evaluation before closing the deal.
