Vehicle Design
Using the latest static and dynamic simulation software, our development team can model a variety of vehicle types over differing terrains and over any number of duty cycles. Analysis and interpretation of these results allows us to accurately predict vehicle performance and mobility in the vehicle’s future, or existing, operational environment.
Factoring this information into programmes at an early stage can significantly influence vehicle design, durability and reliability – hence improving service life and performance.
