The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) has released its first CAPA-certified ultrasonic sensors, according to a press release.
The parts are manufactured by Taiwan-based CAPA participant Hushan Autoparts Inc., which specializes in handles, cameras, and door spare parts. The ultrasonic sensors are certified to the CAPA 703 standard and will join Hushan’s line of CAPA Certified rearview cameras (CAPA 702).
As repair costs continue to rise, the new product is CAPA’s answer to the issue in an effort to provide both affordable and quality aftermarket alternatives for expensive components such as rearview cameras and ultrasonic sensors.
“With an ongoing effort to prioritize safety in automobiles, the technology used in various detection systems and parts continues to advance at a rapid pace,” said CAPA Board of Directors Chairman Clark Plucinski. “However, with these advances, the cost for automobile repairs has risen steeply. The introduction of the first certified ultrasonic sensors is part of CAPA’s goal to continue to offer affordable and trusted certified parts options to the automotive repair industry.”
CAPA’s new ultrasonic sensors are now available to be requested from automotive parts suppliers.
