DEKRA starts testing EV components at new lab in the USA
The new centre was developed by DEKRA in collaboration with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The new product testing laboratory’s services include testing of electric car components, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, reliability testing, automotive connectivity technologies and services in the areas of digital trust, cybersecurity, functional safety and AI testing and certification. According to DEKRA, the opening of the centre was preceded by an investment of millions from its own budget.
“With this center, we are delivering what the future of mobility demands – rigorous testing, seamless certification, and digital trust,” said John Tesoro, President of DEKRA North America. The new centre in Plymouth is the only facility of its kind in North America with such a comprehensive range of services for the automotive industry.
The new location expands DEKRA’s network of testing and certification facilities in Germany, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, among others. Among other things, the organisation also operates and is planning dedicated battery testing centres, for example, at the Lausitzring.
