Electric vehicle repair: working professionally and safely

SEHON workplace for the repair of electric vehicles

CAMELEON SYSTEMS fulfills every equipment requirement

The repair of electric vehicles requires know-how, but above all the right workshop equipment in body and paint stores.
Sehon has developed a complete product range for this with Cameleon Systems.
The focus is on professional work and the safety of employees, customers and the business.

The think tank of the Swabian paint shop manufacturer Sehon continues to surprise the industry with innovative products and concepts.
Tiemo Sehon summarizes the most important advantages of his Cameleon system: “Our customers have been working with our safe and professional workstations for modern car bodies in mixed construction methods for over eight years. We have a lot of experience in the safe handling of critical, toxic or flammable dusts, gases, mixtures, liquids or smoke. So it was more than logical for us to use this knowledge for handling electric vehicles and implement it in a strong complete program for body and paint stores.”

For Sehon, it is clear that Cameleon Systems is absolutely unrivalled because no other company can offer a comparable range of products and services in the field of e-mobility.
The basis is the Cameleon E-Station, Premium and Economy bodywork workstations as single-station, double-station and multi-station solutions.
