Highlights will include the NOx Sensor from Vitesco, which precisely and continuously measures the nitrogen concentration in the exhaust gas of diesel vehicles. Repairify highlights ADAS Repairify will be demonstrating its advanced vehicle diagnostic and calibration technology in hall 9.0/ stand D36, spearheaded by its asTech Digital ADAS Calibration Unit. With all new vehicles fitted with a variety of ADAS features, there are considerable opportunities for all repairers, whether they are collision, glass or mechanical, to utilise Repairify’s suite of diagnostic and ADAS solutions. Vehicles have featured ADAS functions for several years now and those that would have gone into the franchised network for the first three or four years are appearing within independent dealers — presenting a significant business opportunity for shops to generate new revenue streams from ADAS calibration, new parts programming, module programming, and diagnosis of complex issues. Repairify said asTech Digital ADAS includes everything needed for a repairer to get started, with ADAS camera, radar, and lidar calibrations. Technicians have peace of mind knowing that they are covered by Repairify’s global insurance policy, while using OEM tools and following OEM methods. Phil Peace, international MD of Repairify, said: “Repairify continues to expand operations across Europe, reinforcing our global presence. Automechanika is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our knowledge, technology and expertise.” ZF Aftermarket focused on future ZF Aftermarket will be promoting its newest products and solutions designed to enhance the operations of professionals that support the ecosystem.
