Full Vehicle Testing

The Complete Vehicle on the Test Bench

With the F4R test bench, we test complete vehicles under highly realistic conditions. Advanced driver assistance systems, powertrains and vehicle functions can be validated safely, efficiently and reproducibly long before public road approval.

Shift Left for Vehicle Development

Test Earlier. Develop with Confidence.

Modern vehicles combine highly complex software, sensor and powertrain systems. The F4R test bench enables virtual testing of complete vehicles at an early stage of development, providing the foundation for efficient and reproducible function validation.

By combining real vehicle hardware with a virtual environment, faults can be identified early, development times reduced and critical scenarios investigated under safe and controlled conditions.

From Simulation to Reality

Connecting Virtual and Real Vehicle Worlds

The F4R test bench combines real vehicle hardware with virtual driving and environmental models. This creates test conditions that accurately replicate real-world traffic scenarios while remaining fully reproducible.

Safety-critical or rare scenarios can be investigated early in the development process—long before the vehicle is released for road or proving-ground testing.

Efficient Development and Validation

Validating Complex Vehicle Functions with Confidence

The F4R test bench supports the development and validation of modern vehicle functions throughout the entire development process.

Typical application areas include:

Development and validation of ADAS functions
Pre-validation of NCAP scenarios
Vehicle commissioning
Functional validation within the complete vehicle system
Identification of corner cases
Preparation for further testing on proving grounds and public roads
