The expert organization Dekra and the vehicle manufacturer Windrose have announced a collaboration that is set to span four continents. The goal: to jointly work on aspects of safety in electrified and automated transport systems.
Battery Tests
They aim to set high standards for battery performance and fire risk reduction, ensure the safe and reliable operation of energy storage systems, and contribute to
improving safety in electromobility.
Vehicle safety tests and assessments are intended to serve consumer protection by complying with NCAP ratings and other industry standards, it is stated. Furthermore, the Dekra procedure for determining the health condition of drive batteries is also to be applied to electrically powered trucks.
ADAS and V2X
Regarding automation, Dekra and Windrose intend to pool their resources to improve
the reliability of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and enhance road safety through testing and validation, according to their announcement.
The collaboration will also focus on the further development of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity for seamless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users, according to the information.
Safe Mobility
Windrose is represented in Europe, North America (Michigan), Oceania (New Zealand), and Asia (China) and
wants to utilize the global Dekra network to meet regional and international safety standards. The introduction of safe and sustainable mobility solutions worldwide is to be accelerated.
Additionally, the joint objective is to advance harmonized safety standards across various markets through close collaboration with local authorities, regulatory bodies, and industry players, and to implement progress in electrification and automation on a global level.
