At its Munich development site, the BMW Group has commissioned a new hydraulically adjustable test platform. Developed and installed by Butt GmbH,

the facility enables precise simulations of slopes up to 32.5 percent.

This allows for realistic test scenarios for individual vehicle components under

extreme conditions, such as replicating mountain driving or other demanding driving situations.

The facility allows for variable incline angles and provides engineers

with important data to optimize performance, function, and safety. An integrated safety mechanism ensures that the required protection standards are met during
