The sole six-angle spectrophotometer in Sri Lanka that guarantees perfect colour matching. 
The most recent six-angle spectrophotometer from Nippon Paint Lanka was just released, allowing for precise colour matching during auto refinishing. 
This six-angle spectrophotometer, the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, guarantees 100% colour accuracy. 

Nippon Paint Lanka General Manager Nemantha Abeysinghe stated, "We are happy to announce that we already have the Premila 2k machine in the market and today we are launching the n-MAX 2k machine along with the six-angle spectrophotometer to enhance the capacity of our offering to the consumers." "The n-MAX 2k device is specifically made for fixing accidents. With the help of the six-angle spectrophotometer, which functions as a scanner, we can create and match colours using the software from both the Premila 2k and the n-MAX 2k machines. As of right now, it is the only six-angle spectrophotometer in the nation. This scanner is perfect for all kinds of vehicles, including commercial and passenger vehicles, and it will guarantee 100% accuracy in matching colours. 

Based on European technology, Nippon Paint created the n-MAX SB colour solutions, which feature a toner-to-toner system and a wide variety of toners. It provides accurate and simple colour matching, making it the ideal choice for refinish repair centres. Key features include the most recent 6-angle spectrophotometer on the market, advanced colour retrieval tools for formulations, Paint Partners available online, offline, or through the mobile app, and more than 20,000 formulations available in the database with more than 12,000 unique formulae, setting new standards in the industry.

A skilled technical team and a Colour Helpline for immediate assistance are also available for technical support. 

The n-MAX SB is a top-tier European technology system that comes with a high-end tinting solution and is reasonably priced. With its wide range of tones, it offers straightforward costing proposals, advanced colour retrieval systems, and ease of colour matching. It is enhanced by a variety of ancillaries, such as Nax Pro EZ, which offers high productivity and performance at an affordable price. The car refinishing business in Sri Lanka will undergo a revolution thanks to Nippon Paint Lanka's introduction of the six-angle spectrophotometer, Abeysinghe continued. 

For encourage a comprehensive ecosystem for EVs, Collaboration agreement is signed with CodeGen.
The Shift Concept Centre was established as a historic project to quicken CDB's sustainable mobility solutions. 

Citizens Development Business Finance PLC (CDB) established the e Shift Concept Centre in an effort to quicken the company's sustainable mobility solutions, which are concentrated under the Net Zero vertical of CDB's Sustainability Agenda. CDB is steadfast in its pursuit of the green economy.
 
 

This had its origins in a collaboration contract that CodeGen International Ltd. and CDB signed. Recently, CodeGen Chairman/CEO Dr Harsha Subasinghe and CDB Managing Director/CEO Mahesh Nanayakkara signed the agreement.
 
In order to promote electric vehicles (EVs) and solar energy solutions in Sri Lanka, CDB, in collaboration with international and local partners, established the Haritha Coalition as part of its Sustainability Agenda. Therefore, the e Shift Concept Centre is just one more of the forward-thinking actions made by this Coalition, of which chargeNET, a division of CodeGen International that provides electricity to the charging stations at the Centre, is a partner. This partnership expedites CDB's sustainable mobility solutions by advancing an all-encompassing EV ecosystem with an emphasis on information exchange, EV conversion, and charging.
 
The goal of the e Shift Concept Centre, which is situated at Green Path, Colombo 7, is to inform people who are interested in sustainable mobility while piquing public curiosity and igniting excitement about EVs in Sri Lanka. The Centre will be a driving force behind a sustainable transition in Sri Lanka's transport industry, which has historically relied on fossil fuels, by raising awareness about the mindful switch from fossil fuel-based to electric vehicles. In order to ease this transition, the Centre will also provide state-of-the-art EV charging facilities, improving the ease of use and accessibility of charging electric vehicles and fostering the expansion of Sri Lanka's EV ecosystem. With more than a million fossil fuel-powered three-wheelers in use in Sri Lanka, CDB and CodeGen will begin converting three wheelers into EVs.
 
The solar-powered centre features seven charging stations, two conversion bays, and two fast charging stations dedicated to three-wheelers—a first for Sri Lanka. There will be additional EV parking spaces available at the Centre.
 
Mahesh Nanayakkara commented on the partnership and noted that the CDB Sustainability Agenda's Net Zero Pillar includes accelerating sustainable mobility solutions as a major vertical. "We have pledged to expedite sustainable mobility solutions as a responsible corporate steward by supporting EVs and EV infrastructure, as well as knowledge sharing. There are more than a million three-wheelers on the road, and the health risks they pose to drivers—carbon emissions, oil spills, and noise pollution—all contribute significantly to climate change. It is impossible to overstate the long-term good effects that this initiative can have.
 
Nanayakkara went on to say that along with the benefits come difficult challenges. "There is a long list of expenses that include the cost of conversion, payable duties, cost of funds, and customer conviction to convert vehicles. However, we are confident and determined to follow this route with the support of organizations and individuals who share our values worldwide, joining us in our pursuit of a greener economy. Climate change and global warming are now global emergencies requiring immediate attention, not just global crises.
 
Dr. Harsha Subasinghe expressed excitement about the collaboration between CDB and CodeGen International, saying, "Together, we're revolutionizing the three-wheeler industry and pioneering a sustainable Sri Lanka powered by EVs." We are transforming the future of transportation, one car at a time, by exchanging knowledge about electric vehicles, conversions, and charging options. When we work together, we're not just trailblazers in creating a greener, more environmentally conscious Sri Lanka.
 
 

A full and full Australian-owned company which is known as Auto group International Sri Lanka (AGI), is an expert in converting left-hand drive vehicles to right-hand drive and then re-exporting them globally, is now considering a significant new factory expansion despite the challenging economic environment and Government bureaucracy in Sri Lanka. 

Chairman Peter Hill started AGI more than thirty years ago when he started his Australian company for converting left-to-right vehicles. After overcoming several obstacles to satisfy the substantial demand for American SUVs, muscle cars, and pickup trucks with right-hand drive, he founded Auto Group as a Board of Investment (BOI) company in Sri Lanka more than 20 years ago. 

The company has steadily expanded over the past 20 years from its modest beginnings and surmounted numerous obstacles as a foreign investor attempting to establish a business in Sri Lanka. The result has been a successful enterprise that employs a highly skilled and knowledgeable team of professionals on par with any found globally. Thanks to the inspiring leadership of Co-Chairman and CEO Rob Hill, AGI has weathered the worst of the economic downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic over the past three years. As a result, the company has concentrated on investing in the business by adding new team members and raising the knowledge and skill levels of the existing staff. It currently takes pride in having a vibrant senior leadership group, an employee-focused working culture, and a giving community value. 

Autogroup International is an ISO 9001:2015 compliant manufacturer with a focus on ADR (Australian Design Rules) compliance for automobiles. With the aid of cutting-edge 3D dеsign, rеvеrsе еnginееring, and 3D printing tеchnology, thе company еmploys ovеr 170 highly skillеd individuals, including ovеr 30 engineers and a sеasonеd production crеw. It specializes in thе conversion of all makes and modеls of Amеrican automobilеs, including classic Amеrican pickup trucks likе thе GMC Siеrra, Ford F-Sеriеs, Toyota Tundra, and RAM, as wеll as a variеty of musclе cars likе thе Dodgе Challеngеr, Dodgе Chargеr, and Chеvrolеt Camaro, and luxury SUVs likе thе GMC Yukon Dеnali, Hummеr EV, Lincoln Navigator, and Toyota Sеquoia. 

"I am proud of our incrеdiblе, world-class Sri Lankan tеam that has hеlpеd build our global reputation as thе bеst lеft-hand to right-hand conversion company in the world ovеr thе past 20 yеars by dеlivеring thousands of high-quality, safе, and legally compliant right-hand drive convеrsions to vеhiclеs," Rob Hill statеd. 

He continued by saying that AGI must grow in the future to satisfy the world's growing demand for automobiles. "We have exciting secret plans' to build a massive new factory and expand our capabilities even further. We genuinely hope that, despite the difficult bureaucracy and frequent lack of support we encounter as foreign investors, our new factory will be located in Sri Lanka.
