Validation, qualification and approval of vehicles
A global approach, from component to complete system
The transition to safer, cleaner, more intelligent and connected vehicles requires increasingly demanding technical and regulatory validations. The Emitech Group supports you in all your vehicle development projects, whether thermal, hybrid, electric, hydrogen-powered or autonomous, with a comprehensive range of testing, engineering and certification services.
Thanks to the integration of its businesses and its multi-physics test platforms, Emitech covers the entire product life cycle, from prototype to market launch, with a focus on performance, reliability and compliance.
Complete vehicles: validate your performance, compliance and autonomy
Whether you are developing an electric city car, a plug-in hybrid SUV, a heavy goods vehicle or an agricultural machine, each vehicle architecture requires specific validation. The Emitech Group carries out representative tests under controlled or real-life conditions to qualify your propulsion systems and validate their overall behaviour.
Our expertise:
- Climatic tests (-30°C / +50°C, humidity, altitude) on whole vehicles
- WLTP, NEDC, FTP75 fuel consumption tests (thermal, hybrid)
- Range measurement for electric vehicles according to standard cycles (WLTP, EPA, JC08) or real-life conditions
- Battery recharging and preconditioning tests in extreme conditions
- Acoustic tests: regulatory exterior noise (C1 to C3), AVAS, cabin noise, NVH
Vehicle EMC tests: validate electromagnetic compatibility under realistic conditions
EMC validation is crucial for any vehicle incorporating electronic or communicating functions. The Emitech Group provides you with an infrastructure that is unique in Europe, with its very large EMC cage and integrated test benches.
Our expertise:
- EMC tests on vehicles up to 40 tonnes (cars, lorries, motorbikes, etc.)
- Integrated EMC chassis dynamometer (2x2 or 4x4 - up to 120 km/h, driving robot)
- Thermal, electric, hybrid and H2 load testing
- Radiated emissions (CISPR 12 / 25), immunity (ISO 11451-2), ESD, conducted transients
- ECE R10 compliance, manufacturer qualification, MIL-STD, DO-160, STANAG standards, etc
Powertrains and subsystems: performance, safety and robustness
Our resources cover tests on thermal engines, electric and hybrid powertrains, hydrogen systems and associated components (gearboxes, pumps, starters, etc.). Each system is evaluated under its actual conditions of use, including endurance or severe conditions.
Our expertise:
- Engine test benches (ICE, e-motor, hybrid): endurance, performance, fine tuning, emissions, etc
- Environmental testing: vibration, shock, temperature, humidity
- Thermal cycling, fire resistance, mechanical and electrical abuse
- Acoustic and vibro-acoustic behaviour
- Parametric testing and functional diagnosis of sub-assemblies
Connected systems, ADAS and GNSS: securing your on-board technologies
Vehicle connectivity and autonomy require in-depth technical, regulatory and safety validation. The Emitech Group is responsible for evaluating navigation (GNSS), radio communication and on-board cybersecurity systems.
Our expertise:
- GNSS simulation and replay (PVT/IQ) in disturbed environments
- Radio testing (RED directive, CE marking), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, V2X
- On-board cybersecurity tests (RED directive 2022/30, EN 18031 standard)
- Intrusion testing (white/grey/black box), firmware reverse engineering
- Software robustness assessment and regulatory documentation
Homologation and certification: speed up your time to market
The Emitech Group is designated as a Technical Service and Notified Body for numerous regulations applicable to the automotive sector. We can support you from drawing up the test plan to obtaining the regulatory certificates.
Our expertise:
- ECE R10, R100, Euro 6/7 approval
- Notified Body RED, EMC, cybersecurity
- COP dossiers, coordination with authorities (CNRV, KBA, etc.)
- Pre-qualification, technical reviews, improvement plans
