Let's introduce ourselves

In Vehicle Test and Integration (VTI), we enable comprehensive vehicle testing through both virtual 1D and 3D CAE environments, as well as physical test objects. The Prototype Integration Solution Team (PIST) specializes in creating complex prototypes by integrating new development systems into existing and unconventional carriers. For instance, they might test steer-by-wire systems for future SPA3 content within a SPA1 vehicle.
PIST operates through three key areas of expertise: Mechanical Integration, ED/EDS, and Software Integration, to ensure these intricate test objects are fully functional.
