In a recent study, statistics have highlighted a surge in the demand for OEM repair procedures. As vehicles incorporate increasingly complex technology, the once straightforward task of repair has evolved significantly. Today’s cars are more than just transportation; they are sophisticated networks of interconnected systems, powered by advanced technology and sensors that make them seem almost sentient.
Features like ADAS, precise alignment, mandatory emergency braking systems, and comprehensive safety procedures all need to work perfectly together to ensure safety. AGC’s glass components, which meet OEM specifications for ADAS, must be installed accurately to work seamlessly with the vehicle’s systems. The EU has mandated that fitters must have free access to OEM systems, breaking the OEM monopoly. However, the wide variety of brands and systems still presents a significant challenge. Proper integration is crucial for the safety of everyone on the road.
With these high stakes in mind, AGC ARG is deeply engaged with all industry stakeholders - including part manufacturers, OEM brands and fitters - to ensure that every new part is correctly calibrated and adheres to the stringent standards of contemporary automotive production. This close collaboration is essential for maintaining the integrity of vehicle systems following repairs or parts replacement.
In summary, the growing demand for OEM repair procedures is indicative of the broader trend towards advanced vehicle technology and the necessity for precise repair work. AGC ARG’s commitment to quality, safety and industry collaboration sets the company apart as a leader in the field, ready to meet the challenges of evolving vehicle technologies. AGC’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards in automotive production not only upholds the integrity of the vehicles but also contributes to the overall safety and reliability of the automotive ecosystem.
