The COVID-19 pandemic inevitably has a very tangible effect on the economy and especially during this lockdown. In order to mitigate these effects Triscan has chosen to take several measures, including using government aid packages to temporarily send several colleagues on paid leave of absence. This has been done with great understanding, support and help from our colleagues.

The coil spring, together with the shock absorber and the strut bearings, are all classified as safety components in the strut. This is exactly why the quality of the coil spring is important and especially in the winter time where low temperatures often are a contributing factor that causes coil springs to crack. After Triscan - by several of the company's customers - was presented with a competing product at an incredibly low price, an investigation was initiated. The results of the tests performed proved to be astonishing. 

Previously we have reported on the challenges of sporadic noise encountered by repair shops and car owners in connection with a special water pump used on a wide range of 1.4 gasoline engines from VAG. With several design changes, we have now succeeded in solving the problems.

For the older but high-frequency part of the car park, we are now introducing an inexpensive alternative in OE quality. The shock absorber programme of more than 90 references consists solely of gas dampers.
