To support this process, the Institute of Vehicle Concepts has an extensive portfolio of test benches. These test benches can be used to examine, characterize and optimize both partial and complete systems. The focus application clusters are vehicle technologies in the road and rail sectors. Thanks to the institute's research activities, the test bench landscape is equipped with extensive measurement technology. The test facilities also offer a high degree of flexibility with regard to the test specimens to be examined.

In special internal technology qualification projects, the technical maturity level of technologies is increased and validated in order to transfer them to the market. We enable our business partners to help shape the technology transfer from research to the market. The research and development results validated in this way can be utilised by the industrial partner, for example through licensing.

We solve our customers' acute problems, anticipate upcoming technical challenges and pave the way for vehicle concepts and technologies of the future!
