HIGH COSTS OF HIGH TECH DISCUSSION TOPICS: VGRR SERVICES 1. SAFETY – ADAS 2. COMPLEXITY – INCREASED COSTS 3. OTHER RISKS – CURRENT AND FUTURE
Glass has long been a key safety component of vehicles. A properly installed windshield helps in four ways: 1 Keeping the occupants from being ejected in the event of a collision 2 Keeping objects from entering the vehicle 3 Aiding in airbag deployment by acting as a “backboard” for the airbag 4 Preventing the roof from caving in during a rollover
What causes glass damage?
ADAS: The New Frontier
What is ADAS? Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (commonly referred to as ADAS) are designed to assist the driver and make the vehicle safer with the end goal of reducing collisions and injuries.
Accelerated growth is projected The ADAS market is expected to be worth ~$15 billion by 2020. Source: Specialty Analytics; based on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% This information is confidential and proprietary and may not be used, copied or disseminated in any form without the express written consent of ABRA Auto Body & Glass.
ADAS camera recalibration 101: two processes STATIC: Requires a specific target Image mounted on a fixture DYNAMIC: Requires driving vehicle at set speed on well marked roads to calibrate system This information is confidential and proprietary and may not be used, copied or disseminated in any form without the express written consent of ABRA Auto Body & Glass.
ADAS will increase your costs • The windshields are more expensive • The cameras need to be recalibrated after replacement • Some dealer recalibration invoices over $2000 • Average should settle around $300 This information is confidential and proprietary and may not be used, copied or disseminated in any form without the express written consent of ABRA Auto Body & Glass.
By end of 2017, we will have 97% of brands covered March May August September October Please note: The coverage within each brand varies based on model and year.
Complexity: Increased Costs
It’s not your father’s windshield anymore
Design attributes are also impacting glass complexity and cost Due to fuel reduction initiatives and overall vehicle design changes, glass is becoming: 1 Larger & more prevalent 2 Thinner 3 More curved
One example of the shift in windshield complexity 2010 Chevrolet Cruze • One windshield option when model first introduced in 2010 • Sold 1. 24 M units Source: Good Car Bad Car Cruze Sales from 2010 -2015 2016 Chevrolet Cruze • Five windshield options ranging from plain solar glass to the most complex having acoustic, condensation sensor, forward collision alert & lane departure features • On track to sell similar # as 2010 • More options means lower batch runs, change over time & more value add required
Five ways these complexities are impacting price 1 Manufacturing 2 Packaging 3 Supply chain 4 Installation 5 Recalibration
Shift in vehicle demographics means newer, more expensive to repair vehicles [CATEGOR Y NAME] [VALUE] 2012 Current Yr or Newer Group, 6. 9% [CATEGOR Y NAME] [VALUE] 2016 1 -3 Years Old 33. 1% 7 years and older 38. 1% [CATEGOR Y NAME] [VALUE] § 1 -3 year old vehicles increased 37. 3% § 4 -6 year old vehicles decreased 23. 6% § 7 years old + decreased 5. 9% 4 - 6 Years Old, 21. 7% Record new car sales in 2016 … 17. 5 Million
