Raising Standards in Commercial Vehicle Repair
The VBRA is committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance across the commercial vehicle repair sector. In response to the growing complexity of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in modern commercial vehicles, the VBRA along with contributors have developed this dedicated ADAS Guidance to support repairers in maintaining system integrity and ensuring vehicles are returned to the road safely and correctly.
This guidance provides clear, practical, and industry-aligned information tailored specifically to commercial vehicle repair operations. It reflects current best practices and manufacturer recommendations. Repairers using this document can be confident they are following a process that prioritises road safety, liability mitigation, and professional competence.
Tim Cam at BELRON comments:
“This guidance document is exactly what the HGV repair sector has been demanding for quite a while. Whilst ADAS and safety systems have been very prominent in the car sector, the HGV sector has been sadly neglected. In the last few years, there has been a technical revolution within HGV vehicles and the manufacturers have introduced so much new safety technology to their vehicles. For HGV repairers, this draft provides a clear ‘best practice’ on the structural processes which will ensure that HGV vehicles are repaired to the highest standards. The guidance follows proven principles and aligns with repairers applying the methods and processes that will support a quality repair.”
Thomas Hudd, NBRA & VBRA Technical Manager comments:
“As ADAS technology continues to evolve, VBRA will regularly review and update this guidance to reflect technical developments and industry advancements. We encourage all repairers to stay informed and engage with ongoing training to uphold the highest levels of expertise and service.”
