As a result the repair times are reduced and
the repair costs are less than or
approximately the same as standard steel

the A8 were taken as the starting point for a
new repair concept to take in the special
features of the A2.
The design of the body structure with pre-
programmed, defined deformation zones
minimises the straightening work required
after an accident and determines the repair
sections by design.
