Market & trends
The automotive and transportation sector is undergoing rapid transformation driven by electrification, automation, connectivity, and sustainability. These developments significantly increase system complexity and place new demands on validation, safety, and time-to-market.
Key challenges include:
- Electrification & power efficiency
The transition to EVs, hybrid platforms, hydrogen, and advanced charging infrastructure requires accurate testing of batteries, power electronics, inverters, motors, and power quality under dynamic and high-voltage conditions. - Autonomous driving & advanced driver assistance
Increasing reliance on sensors, AI, and real-time control systems demands robust validation of camera, radar, lidar, GNSS, and sensor-fusion technologies in both simulated and real-world scenarios. - Connectivity & digital mobility
Vehicles and infrastructure depend on reliable communication using 4G/5G, V2X, Ethernet, fiber, and telematics. Ensuring performance, interoperability, and cybersecurity across these networks is critical. - Safety, reliability & compliance
Transport systems must meet stringent safety standards for passengers, operators, and assets, including functional safety, electrical safety, EMC/EMI compliance, and reliability over long lifecycles. - Production automation & operational continuity
Manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments require automated, repeatable test solutions to ensure quality, reduce downtime, and scale efficiently. - Sustainability & environmental impact
Regulatory pressure such as WLTP, RDE, and emissions reduction increases the need for precise measurement, energy efficiency validation, and materials research.
