Challenge<br />

§ Ever more stringent regulations worldwide, e.g. EU6, LEV3<br />

§ Large variety of tests, limits and directives applicable across<br />

all markets and applications<br />

§ Compliance with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) requirements<br />

§ New requirements: particulate number, off-cycle emissions, …<br />

Considerations<br />

Electronic and Diagnostic Testing<br />

Challenge<br />

§ Increasing demand in electronics, emissions and on board<br />

diagnostic regulations in vehicle development<br />

§ Testing in engineering, manufacturing and dealership /<br />

aftermarket service is increasingly important<br />

§ Quality is key in customer perception<br />

Considerations<br />

§ Testing of <strong>com</strong>ponents, sub-assemblies and vehicles is a<br />

true product lifecycle task; from development to production<br />

right through to service and aftermarket<br />

§ Reporting results back to development / manufacturing is key<br />

Industry Challenges<br />

Reducing Weight & Cost<br />

Challenge<br />

§ Increased safety and <strong>com</strong>fort feature content significantly<br />

adds weight and costs to state-of-the-art vehicles<br />

§ A 100 kg reduction in vehicle mass can lower the<br />

CO2 emissions by as much as 10 g/km with additional<br />

benefits in vehicle dynamic behaviour (even braking)<br />

Considerations<br />

§ Earliest concept / design phase decisions account for more<br />

than 75% of weight and costs of final powertrain and vehicle<br />

§ Total cost of development, production and service<br />

§ Common parts and platforms offer economies of scale<br />
