Modern vehicles are probably more complex than any other „consumer product“. The vehicle‘s function is determined by the interaction of many different components, all of which must work together smoothly. There are a variety of internal and external impacting factors which may have a negative influence on this interplay. If individual components fail when in use, the causes of the failure are generally also very complex. Inadequate consideration of the interactions can result in minor material or manufacturing faults causing considerable damage in one or many vehicles.
In our Automotive Business Line we have been carrying out failure and damage analysis on many different parts and components for many years. |
Consequently, in addition to expertise in the areas of materials, media and parts, our employees also possess extensive knowledge about the interplay of the components in the vehicle itself and the vehicle‘s interaction with the environment.
