Factory codes – why are they important?

Fabriekscodes

If you are considering buying an (air) suspension system for your vehicle from one of our VB-Partners, our VB-Partner will need some specific information about factory codes. These factory codes indicate whether the vehicle requires an additional 'option' from the vehicle manufacturer before air suspension can be fitted; or the code may indicate that the vehicle has a particular option, which means that an additional part will need to be ordered through VBA in order to connect the (air) suspension system correctly.

Bulletins
To assist our VB-Partners with the ordering process and make it simpler, we produce bulletins with details of the factory codes. Factory codes from vehicle manufacturers are made up of abbreviations whose meaning is not necessarily obvious. The bulletin gives our VB-Partner the information they need so they know how to proceed in the ordering process.

For example, if the customer wants a VB-FullAir 4C kit for their vehicle, then the vehicle may need a specific option before the air suspension can be connected by our VB-Partner. The bulletin we provide will show the factory code for this option and describe the option in detail.

There may also be occasions when the vehicle has a specific option – indicated by this factory code and explained in the bulletin – which means it is not possible to fit the chosen kit due to the current configuration of the vehicle .

For further information please get in touch with one of our VB-Partners, who will be pleased to assist you partner overview.

Return of the international aftersales meeting this year!

In addition to our annual international sales meeting, we are delighted to report that, as of 2023, the international aftersales meeting has become another fixture in the calendar!

We have updated our brochures!

We're already through October and the end of the year is in sight. Before you know it, we'll be settling in for those chilly evenings again: lighting the stove, putting our feet up and getting the tablet out while relaxing on the sofa.

We were keen to celebrate a special moment with Martin!

Today, 20 October, was officially our colleague Martin Uffink's last day of work and marked the start of his retirement. He chose not to work up to the very last minute: with some hours saved up and annual leave owed, his last day at VB-Airsuspension was actually back in August –on Thursday 22nd, to be precise.
