About automotive testing

Automotive testing puts full vehicles, components and systems through a series of laboratory, virtual and 'real world' assessments to ensure it is safe, reliable and compliant with safety regulations. Automotive testing is a requirement for accessing global automotive markets and manufacturers must show they have put their product through rigorous assessment. Testing covers a wide range of vehicle features, from individual components analysis and emissions testing, to buzz, squeak and rattle tests, crash simulations and extensive automotive electronics testing.
