Solera and PPG collaborate to enhance CO₂ emissions tracking accuracy per vehicle repair.

Solera announces a strategic partnership with PPG. Through this collaboration, PPG’s premium automotive refinish coatings, including NEXA AUTOCOLOR products and MAXMEYER coatings, will be integrated into Solera’s Sustainable Estimatics platform, enabling PPG customers to assess their carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions per repair.
This includes factors such as repair methods (repair versus replace), paint application processes and drying conditions. With this partnership, PPG provides product- and process-specific data that enables more accurate CO₂ calculations, rather than relying solely on general industry averages.
The integration of advanced tools within the PPG LINQ digital ecosystem for body shops—including PPG VISUALIZID digital color matching and the PPG MOONWALK automated mixing system—supports more precise, efficient repairs and boosts customer productivity by streamlining refinish processes and reducing material waste. This initiative reflects PPG’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, digitalization, and automation.
“The partnership with Solera marks an important milestone in our mission to deliver sustainably advantaged, digital, and automated solutions to our customers,” says Juan Navarro, marketing director EMEA at PPG. “By combining our trusted refinish products and digital solutions, we enable body shops to reduce waste, improve efficiency and monitor and lower their carbon footprint with precision.”
The current agreement includes the integration of PPG’s emissions metrics into the Solera ecosystem, providing customers with a robust tool to monitor and manage their Scope 1, 2 and 3 CO₂ emissions. The resulting dashboards offer clear insights that allow shops to benchmark their environmental impact and generate credible, verifiable emissions data aligned with evolving regulatory requirements, such as the European Union Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which mandates emissions reporting beginning in 2025.
“PPG’s focus on combining sustainability with advanced digital and automated solutions adds significant value to our Sustainable Estimatics platform,”says Arnaud Agostini, international managing director at Solera. “With innovations like PPG MoonWalk automated paint mixing system and PPG VisualizID digital color visualization tool, we deliver precise CO₂ tracking and help body shops transform their daily operations.”
