Organization profile
CTAG is a technology centre providing R&D and innovation services to the Automotive sector. CTAG
develops solutions for improving the competitiveness of enterprises thanks to the accumulated experience in
different fields of knowledge and technology. The convergence of different areas of expertise allows CTAG
to address comprehensive projects from applied research to product and process validation.
CTAG is mainly specialized in new materials, process engineering, electronics, active and passive safety,
powertrain, validation tests, emission reduction and NVH. CTAG carries out several research projects in
theses fields in conjunction with the Industry, Universities and other Technology Centres.
With a team of more than 300 engineers and technicians, CTAG is an ideal partner for developing new
innovative products using CAD product design and CAE simulations tools. On validations side, CTAG is
equipped with climatic, vibration & acoustics, fatigue, materials, engine, electronics and ergonomics
laboratories fitted with the ultimate testing facilities such as triaxial shakers integrated in acoustic and
climatic chambers, a dynamic drive simulator.
CTAG is currently expanding and planning the opening of a new Electronics and HMI Innovation Centre for
Intelligent Vehicles at the end of 2012.
Main capacities in nanotechnology / nanoscience
Design and development of products with high value-added: EMI shielding, antistatic, bactericide,
etc.
Design and development of products based on polymers or textiles with integrated sensor function,
active to external stimuli (impact, pressure or contact).
Non-destructive analysis of structural damage in composites, development of the corresponding test
procedures and the results analysis programme.
Specifications definition, validation tests and methodology development for tests on products based
on nanomaterials.
Knowledge transfer to enterprises to implement in the market projects for the development of
product/processes based on new materials.
