Las Vegas, Nevada — Rivian has announced that it will offer training on the process an automaker follows to research, develop, validate and publish new repair procedures during the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit at this year’s 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Specifically, according to the show descriptions at SEMA, “OEM Summit Session One: The Value of OEM Repair Information” will provide attendees “the opportunity to learn how vehicles, materials, technologies and trends are evolving in ways that will impact repair processes and repair shops.”
The session will be led by Rivian’s research, development, service and collision teams on November 7, 2024 at 12:30 p.m. and will feature featured speakers David Sosa, Dan Black and Kelly Logan. It is the first of three OEM Repair Technology Summit sessions.
In addition, a case study focusing on the development cycle of the front frame rail section concept will be presented during the session. In particular, the session will discuss how the automaker used field data to determine that the front frame rail can be damaged even in a low-speed impact and that the market could benefit from a safe and cost-effective alternative to a full “skateboard” replacement.
