⭐ The Dacia Duster dashes off with a three-star rating ⭐ Euro NCAP recently performed the latest safety protocols on the Romanian-made Dacia Duster. 🚨 The passenger compartment of the Duster remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dacia demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. The driver’s chest protection was rated as weak, based on dummy readings of compression during the test. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the Dacia can respond to vulnerable road users as well as to other vehicles. Overall, the system’s response to pedestrians was adequate while its response to cyclists was good. 🛣️ Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2-2SCJT 🚗 See its detailed results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5ye2rYu 🚗 Dacia #ncap #euroncap #safety #forsafercars #forsafervans #howsafeisyourcar #saferroads #safety #rating #roadsafety #drivesafely #cars #safercars #safetyratings #consumerprotection #electricvehicles #crashavoidance #ADAS #AD #assisteddriving #stars #Dacia #Duster

Beginning July 1, significant changes have been introduced to the traffic restrictions for vehicles over 7.5 tons. As reported by TrasportoEuropa, under the new regulations, industrial vehicles will be restricted on all Sundays in July, August, and September from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. There will be days when the ban is temporarily lifted, but this alternation between restrictions and suspensions complicates matters for clients who need to stay informed to avoid disruptions during these months. Unavoidably, these regulations pose a significant challenge to the precision and efficiency of the entire logistics sector. But not for SIExpress, which is prepared to provide flexible and timely solutions for your urgent needs. While these restrictions apply to vehicles over 7.5 tons, our fleet includes smaller vehicles with lower capacity that can operate within the regulations. This allows us to manage our customers' urgent requirements effectively, splitting loads as needed and ensuring timely deliveries even during restricted periods. Even during the summer, SIExpress makes possible, impossible shipments!

In our series People@ACPS Automotive, we would like to introduce you to people who give their best for our customers every day. Please say “hello” 😉 to Valter István Horvath, IAM Helpline Service Engineer at Kecskemét (Hungary), our largest plant. 1. Valter, what do you do at ACPS Automotive? "I am responsible for the technical support for customers and colleagues who are serviced from Kecskemét. So, I answer a lot of technical questions about our retrofit products every day, both internally and externally. I also create the type plates for the most products and carry out fitting tests with our aftermarket developers. And I take care of minor updates to aftermarket finished goods when these are required. So, I have both hands full. My motto is: "The Helpliner helps where he can." 2. What do you enjoy most about your job? "It is a challenging and multi-site job. I need to answer as fast as I can and as precise and clear as possible, because usually a customer or a mechanic urgently waits for the answer. I enjoy most the appreciation for the help from the people." 3. What do you do in your free time? "I like cars and motorbikes. I have my motorbike license about a year now, so it is a new hobby. And I have two old timer cars: a Skoda 120l and a Skoda S100. Both are under some restoration and modification. At the moment they have to wait because I have limited time for them. The past 3 years I was racing in an amateur 24-hour rallycross championship: “24 HOURS OF RACING” with our own team Ménis Racing Team. Place for some advertising: We are searching for sponsors 😃." 4. Three words that you associate with ACPS Automotive? "Reliable products, varied goods, friendly community." #ACPS #ACPSAutomotive #Automotive #ORIS

💡 Explore the latest market trends in the automotive supply industry!     For the first time in four years, imports from China have seen a slight decline, with 0.57%, marking a shift away from the trend of rapid import growth that began in 2020.  ➡ There is a general slowdown of import growth into the EU (3% increase compared to the notable 17% observed in 2022).    At the same time, a decline in EU exports to China has more than halved the trade surplus with China over the same period.    It is essential for policymakers to address EU competitiveness to safeguard the region's manufacturing jobs and prosperity.      📰 Find out more in the #CLEPADataDigest: https://lnkd.in/daC4qqMh Nils Poel #automotivesuppliers

Outsoft in action: Rebuilding Modinta's online store for improved performance✨🧑‍💻 Outsoft loves a good challenge! So when Modinta, an automotive tuning agency, approached us about their underperforming online store, we jumped into action. The result? A 6-week transformation that resulted in a 4x increase in sales! 🚀 Challenges: 🔴 Lengthy product upload times (25 minutes per item!) 🔴 Low customer engagement and minimal sales conversions Solutions: 🔹 Made the customer journey smoother by redesigning the shopping cart and UX/UI. 🔹 Introduced expert product reviews to increase credibility. 🔹 Optimised navigation and filtering options to improve search accuracy and product discovery. 🔹 Automated the synchronisation of products so that 100 products can be uploaded in as little as 5 minutes. Results: ⏳ Increased time spent on site from 2 minutes to 20+ minutes! 💼 Increased sales from 5 to 20 orders per month in six weeks! We transformed Modinta's online store into a high-performing e-commerce platform by addressing key pain points and making targeted improvements. Let us know if you want to transform your business with us! #Ecommerce #CaseStudy #WebDevelopment #UXDesign #SalesGrowth #TechInnovation
