六合彩开奖记录 Expands Support for EVs Through Industry-First Data Licensing Agreement with Rivian
Agreement reaffirms 六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 commitment to proper and safe repair as electric vehicle adoption surges
SAN DIEGO, Calif.鈥六合彩开奖记录, an Enlyte company, today announced that it is the first collision industry information provider to sign a data licensing agreement with electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer . This will allow auto insurers and collision repairers using 六合彩开奖记录 Cloud Estimating and 六合彩开奖记录 Cloud Estimating TruckMax to write damage appraisals and access repair procedures for the OEM鈥檚 full line-up of passenger and commercial vehicles: the R1T, R1S and Electric Delivery Van (EDV).
Rivian, which delivered its first electric vehicles in 2021, has ramped production aggressively throughout 2022 onwards. As of Q1 2023, Rivian has manufactured more than 34,000 passenger and commercial vehicles and looks to significantly increase production again through the remainder of the year. These vehicles will be delivered to the US, Canada and Europe.
鈥淩ivian is committed to supporting our passionate, adventurous owners and customers throughout the vehicle lifecycle. Unfortunately, this may occasionally include a collision event,鈥 said Rivian鈥檚 Manager, Collision Data and Industry Relations, Brandon Chittenden. 鈥淲e are eager to make Rivian鈥檚 data available in 六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 collision estimating database. This is a crucial step in helping insurance carriers and repairers restore our vehicles to pre-accident integrity and get our customers back on their adventures quickly.鈥
This announcement comes as EVs rapidly gain market share on their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. While total new vehicle sales fell 8% in 2022, EV sales grew 65% and topped 800,000 units for the first time ever, . In the US, 5.8% of new cars purchased were EVs, surpassing the 5% tipping point that many in the industry feel is the threshold for the start of mass adoption. In Canada, by more than a third in the first six months of 2022, although overall sales growth is lower than in other regions of the world.
鈥淚ncreasing EV adoption rates have reinforced the need for accurate data on the latest vehicles along with a technology platform built for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and their unique design differences,鈥 said Debbie Day, executive vice president and general manager of 六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 Auto Physical Damage division. 鈥溋喜士奔锹 is meeting this need through expanded EV coverage and enhancements to our cloud-based estimating platform, which are designed to better support accurate and efficient BEV damage appraisals."

Among the patent-pending, industry-first enhancements to 六合彩开奖记录 Cloud Estimating are features that directly address the design and construction differences between EVs and ICE-powered automobiles. This includes the addition of a BEV-specific data structure, which dynamically updates the user interface鈥攄isplaying only information relevant to BEVs once the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is decoded. With new part categories and data organization, insurers and repairers can easily locate the BEV information they need to complete the collision-damage appraisal. Additionally, 六合彩开奖记录 has established industry-standard definitions for EV battery capacity and motor size, which appear on the vehicle selection screen and under the vehicle description detail on the printed estimate.
The updates to 六合彩开奖记录 Cloud Estimating were made available to U.S. and Canadian customers in fall 2022 and the first Rivian-authored vehicle data will appear in 2023 in 六合彩开奖记录 TechAdvisor and 六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 estimating solutions.
In total, 六合彩开奖记录 has authored data for 168 mild hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, which represents 3,500 unique configurations.
