Several of our technical equipments are unique, such as our frost penetration meter and frost tester. Our facility for crash tests on heavy vehicles is unique in the Nordic countries, and at present we can test vehicles up to 16 tons.

In the driving simulator we can measure and test everything ranging from the human-machine interface, driver behaviour, the effects of fatigue and drugs to road design, tunnel design, the reactions of the human body, drivers with impairments and new systems in vehicles.
