Project description
Vehicles are becoming increasingly complex, connected and diverse; while also facing ever more scrutiny from legislation. This is leading to spiralling development costs and lead times for manufacturers. Independent studies estimate that advanced methods to reduce prototyping and testing could save each vehicle development programme a significant amount of money. Horiba-Mira’s customers seek solutions that reduce testing and increase front-loading through virtual testing, reducing both cost and time-to-market.
