Bringing yet more services to the automotive aftermarket sector

Robert Barry · 0 comments

Since opening in December, the Auto Innovation Centre (AIC) has offered tailored and unique advice to the Australian automotive aftermarket industry.

Many companies say they have been impressed by the centre’s facilities and the role it can play in their product development activities.

“We are a very focused team and the centre has been designed from the ground up to help the Australian Automotive Aftermarket industry,” AIC managing director Luke Truskinger says.

“Our team has a broad range of experience in both the aftermarket and OEM automotive sectors, and this allows us to offer qualified and specific advice to those utilising our services.

“While the AIC is wholly-owned by and co-located with the AAAA, being a separate, independently-functioning business entity provides benefits to the entire Aftermarket industry.

“Our mission and ability to represent the industry as a whole allows us the unique opportunity to collaborate and gain traction with OEMs.”

The centre’s core commitment to confidentiality allows customers to feel confident in using the AIC for their most secret product development activities.

“Absolutely every interaction between customers and the AIC, right from the very first phone call, is completely confidential,” Truskinger says.

The AIC provides a fully equipped workshop with vehicle access, 3D scanning, post-processing and printing technology, dynamic vehicle testing, ADAS calibration and training facilities.

Other services set to come to the AIC during the third quarter of 2020, include a hydraulic test facility, vibration testing, tensile/compression testing and a damper dynamometer.
