Last year, the EU provisionally agreed to make ADAS compulsory on all new vehicles from 2022. The innovative safety technology is already one of the fastest-growing segments in the vehicle diagnostic market, installed as standard in most makes and models of car. For independent workshops with the right equipment and understanding of these systems, ADAS represents a huge profit opportunity, particularly as autonomous vehicle development progresses.
With regulators setting ever-more-ambitious emissions targets, the age of electric vehicles will soon be upon us. Workshops might feel unprepared to deal with electric and hybrid vehicles – but by partnering with DENSO, they can have access to the right parts, knowledge and support to ensure they have a competitive advantage as electrification continues to gather pace.
