Hunter Engineering receives Rivian approval for Ultimate ADAS® alignment and calibrations system

ST. LOUIS – Hunter Engineering is pleased to announce that Rivian has approved Ultimate ADAS^® for its complete vehicle lineup. This includes generations 1 and 2 of the R1 (truck and SUV versions), the EDV (also known as RCV), and the new R2.

The Rivian approval brings Hunter’s OEM total to nine for the award-winning alignment and static calibration system, joining Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti, Subaru and Kia.

Additional OEM approvals are expected to be announced in the near future.

“Our R&D group put in significant effort to ensure Ultimate ADAS^® satisfies the target placement requirements for all Rivian platforms,” said David Agnew, Hunter ADAS Product Management. “With this approval, Rivian’s network of service centers, certified collision centers and authorized service providers now have access to the industry-leading ADAS calibration technology to service and document vehicles with confidence and efficiency.”

Ultimate ADAS^® is Hunter’s innovative system for eliminating error-prone manual layouts common to static ADAS calibrations, combining standard-setting alignment technology with an efficient and easy-to-use guided target placement system for around-the-vehicle coverage.

Gimbal-mounted lasers are the key component, helping reduce setup time by up to 70 percent for some procedures. The laser gimbals and onscreen guidance dramatically increase target placement precision by automatically compensating for non-level floors, monitoring for placement errors, and confirming accuracy with laser measurements each step of the way.

Critically, Ultimate ADAS^® provides thorough and easy-to-understand documentation, confirming placements, procedures, before-and-after measurements and much more, accessed directly via HunterNet^® 2, Hunter’s customer portal.

Ultimate ADAS^® now includes dynamic and static calibration coverage for a total of 19 OEMs, supporting more than 7,400 static ADAS procedures and accounting for more than 90 percent of vehicles in operation.
