Glasurit and Toyota Motor Europe have defined a shared roadmap to drive Body and Paint excellence across Europe for the Toyota and Lexus network. The alignment, established at Toyota Motor Europe headquarters in Brussels, sets clear priorities for 2026 and beyond.

Our BASF Automotive Refinish Coatings experts were on site at NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) in Las Vegas and connected with OEM partners, dealership groups, and industry leaders to discuss how future repairability, advancing vehicle technology, and data-driven insights are reshaping dealership strategy. Today, only ~20% of dealerships operate an in-house body shop, and many remain underleveraged. Yet with ADAS complexity, EV adoption, OEM repair requirements, and rising repair severity, future repairability is reshaping how customers experience and evaluate dealer brands after a loss.

Glasurit has entered a technical partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing in South Africa, marking a shared commitment to innovation, performance, and worldclass vehicle finishing.

The agreement formalizes a common vision to combine advanced coatings technology with the extreme demands of motorsport, using Glasurit paint solutions.

Sustainability decisions start with reliable data. With BASF Coatings’ new Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) solution, Glasurit customers now gain real‑time, auditable CO₂ insights across more than 120,000 products — including 100 Line and a full range of auxiliaries.

Powered by 25,000+ raw materials and global energy flows, the system delivers a consistent, fact‑based CO₂ calculation and expands beyond carbon to additional impact categories—offering deeper sustainability insights for body shops.

Green and gray redefine the 2025 automotive color landscape
