This does not only apply to areas near the Arctic circle, where drivers are required to work in pitch darkness for half the year. Instances of mist, rain, or snow that impair visibility are familiar to drivers in any country. Even those drivers in sunny southern states that do not travel to countries with worse driving conditions find extra lighting to be necessary – the roads and motorways in densely populated areas are simply so busy during daylight hours that drivers may feel they lack a choice and are forced to drive in the evening or at night. And some work just needs to be done at night or “no matter the time,” whenever it is needed. Metec develops and produces solutions for the quick and stable installation of additional lighting on your vehicle for many purposes.

The undercarriage (as well as the cabin interior) of many vehicles can be raised quite high to provide better clearance. However, both people and goods need easy access to enter the vehicle. Major height differences may cause problems for the elderly, people with mobility disabilities, or operators of heavy goods transport vehicles. In bad weather conditions (rain, ice), in particular, there is a serious risk of slippage and suffering various injuries when entering or exiting the vehicle. Even under ordinary circumstances, climbing into an elevated cab on a daily basis can lead to chronic pain in the spine and joints in the future. Metec’s product range includes an increasingly large number of products that ease vehicle access and reduce the risk of injury and chronic conditions.

When purchasing a vehicle, none of us can foresee who, what, and under what conditions we would want to move from one point to another in the future. Instead of buying or renting a new vehicle for a new and unexpected task, a good alternative is to extend your vehicle’s functionality through the installation of accessories.

Everyone who has been involved in a vehicle collision knows how expensive vehicle repairs can be. Even removing small dents can cost a quarter to a third of the vehicle’s value. Admittedly, most of this is paid by the insurance company. However, the vehicle owner is still left to pay the excess. In addition, your vehicle will be in the repair shop for a long time, and during this time, you will need to find a replacement vehicle. This can also incur additional costs. And depending on who was responsible for the accident, any insurance claim can make your vehicle insurance more expensive in the following period. Therefore, it may be advisable to mount additional protective elements for those vehicle body parts that are more at risk of damage. Metec designs products that absorb some of the impact energy and reduce or prevent damage to your vehicle. In the event of a smaller collision, all that is needed is to replace the protective element that has been damaged (has fulfilled its task), meaning you can avoid replacing the more expensive original car parts, often limiting repairs only to the paintwork.
