As proud partners since 2008, AkzoNobel Vehicle Refinishes, and the McLaren Formula 1 Team have a shared focus on outstanding performance and pioneering innovation. That spirit of excellence now takes centre stage with the launch of Sikkens Autowave® Optima, the new-generation waterborne basecoat designed to deliver greater efficiency and sustainability for bodyshops.

AkzoNobel’s Vehicle Refinishes business has announced a new partnership with Solera, a global leader in vehicle lifecycle management software, to help bodyshops and insurers accurately measure and reduce CO₂ emissions linked to vehicle repairs - supporting smarter, more sustainable decision-making.
