Overall Vehicle

Having been successfully developed and subjected to rigorous testing, the various individual components are combined to form a final vehicle unit which in turn must meet with approval.

In addition to technical details, design and price, the market acceptability of a vehicle depends on aspects such as:
  • Ergonomics and comfort
  • Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
  • Performance and handling
  • Active and passive safety
  • Environmental impact, and
  • Overall impressio

In addition to the actual testing, computer simulation has proved to be an invaluable tool. It offers considerable scope for speeding up development work while at the same time reducing costs.
