Development and Commissioning of New Vehicle Concepts

Comprehensive automation solutions for efficient transportation systems

We carry out the practical design, testing, and commissioning of new vehicles that meet the growing demands for efficiency and sustainability in modern transportation systems.

Our focus is on three core areas: 

  • smart loading systems at depots and terminals,
  • automation solutions for intermodal freight transport,
  • innovative drive, steering, and sensor systems for commercial vehicles.

We cover the entire development chain—from concept development, simulation, and prototyping to field testing and system integration into existing operational processes.
