This Audi Q5 "React" video illustrates the complexity of Volkswagen Group cars, which are constantly monitoring and adjusting many settings around the vehicle. This level of safety features in high end models such as the Audi e-tron as well as mode affordable models such as the VW Polo and Skoda Fabia. This is a crucial reason that all Volkswagen Group vehicles must be repaired by VWG Authorised Paint and Body Centres to ensure the safety of all passengers is to the same level as if the vehicle has just left the production line.
Steel and Mixed Material
Within our brands, body construction is predominantly made of conventional steels however, in some Volkswagen and Audi models the body construction is based on an advanced ASF body structure which is composed of different materials. With a mix of aluminum, steel, magnesium and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), it’s possible to find in our vehicles that the load-bearing structure combines four different lightweight materials. However, the largest proportion is represented by aluminum components which, as cast nodal plates, extruded sections and sheet metal panels, are the characteristic elements of an ASF construction system.
We have a network of mixed material repairers that are equipped and trained to repair this technology to the highest standard.
