DENSO has released the latest version of its vehicle inspection system, e-Videns. The new update not only increases the tool’s speed and coverage, it also allows technicians to completely customize the inspection by selecting from a range of modules, tailoring the checklist and order to suit the vehicle and the time available.

If you’ve not yet worked with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in your workshop, you’re about to. Last year, the EU provisionally agreed to make ADAS compulsory on all new vehicles from 2022.

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.

As the FIA World Endurance Championship returned after an enforced absence during the COVID-19 outbreak, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing were back to their winning ways at the Total 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps on 15 August. The team occupied the top two spots on the podium, with the #7 TS050 HYBRID crew of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López taking the gold.

The past few months have brought more change than ever to workshops across Europe, with repairers pushed to quickly adapt business models and find new ways of delivering vehicle services to customers. While periods of forced business closure may be beyond us, technicians will no doubt be concerned about any potential future disruption that may affect their garage businesses.

With millions of cars across Europe being driven more regularly after months of inactivity, workshops can be ready with the right parts and advice to deal with the issues that arise.

Campaign across European markets emphasizes DENSO’s product strengths and passion for excellence.

With the weather across Europe heating up and more people venturing out for long drives, vehicle air conditioning (A/C) systems are set to be switched on after long periods dormant. However, like any car component, the air conditioning system can experience troubles, leaving motorists at the mercy of an uncomfortably warm cabin interior. Often, when the A/C system experiences issues, it is down to a failed Air Conditioning Compressor. Understanding how to identify signs of A/C Compressor failure and having the parts and knowledge required to fit replacements is essential for technicians at this time of year.

Before we even heard the term ‘COVID-19’, the automotive aftermarket was already in a state of change. Evolving car ownership habits and the rise of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) were recognized as trends that could permanently alter the way we use, service and repair vehicles. As countries across Europe emerge from lockdowns, there is no doubt that change is still coming.
