Car body/exterior Testing of components and systems

Starting from the carrying structure of a motorcar – the body shell – the team is specialised on the validation of door, hatch, and roof systems, including the mechanical components of these, the sealing system and the exterior components, with respect to function, stiffness and durability even under extreme environmental conditions.
