Global Insurer Research Centers Call for Repairability by Design as Thatcham Data Shows Automakers Responding

Motor insurance research institutes from 15 countries called on vehicle manufacturers to build repairability into new models from the earliest stages of development and to fit low-speed automatic emergency braking (AEB) as standard, following the annual conference of the Research Council for Automobile Repairs (RCAR) in Mexico City. Thatcham Research, the U.K. member of RCAR, …

Call for vehicle design changes to reduce cost of damage repair

Changes to the design of vehicles could reduce the cost of repairs required following low-speed crashes, Thatcham Research and RCAR have said.

Everyday collision damage should be designed out in vehicle development stage, say Thatcham Research and RCAR

Representatives from 19 research institutes in 15 countries met in Mexico City for the annual RCAR conference to discuss vehicle design.
