We accelerate our customers’ drive towards net zero emissions, improving road safety and the automation of vehicle applications through leadership and innovation in engineering and technology.
We are one of the world’s most trusted global suppliers of automotive test and verification products and solutions, playing a key role in ensuring the safe and responsible development of active safety and autonomous systems.
We develop and manufacture products and systems for use in track testing, laboratory testing and simulation. Track testing products and services are used in the test and evaluation of ADAS, autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle dynamics. Laboratory testing products and services test dynamic characteristics, simulate vehicle dynamics and evaluate the performance of active safety systems across conventional vehicles, motorsport and autonomy.
We sell directly to customers, predominantly through our UK operation but more recently through our own international sales offices in Germany, the USA and Japan. We also have indirect routes to market through an international network of distributors and representatives.

road safety and the automation of vehicle applications through leadership and innovation in engineering and technology.
Building a broader-based business to drive sustainable growth
Our business
1. Track testing
Track testing products and services are used for the test and verification of ADAS, autonomous systems and vehicle dynamics. Vehicles and ADAS platforms, such as the GST and LaunchPad, are controlled using complex control software for accurate control and synchronisation of multiple test objects.
This enables our customers to conduct complex, multi-object test scenarios with a simple-to-use software interface to satisfy internal or external regulatory test requirements.
The Group also provides test services including the provision of ADAS and vehicle dynamics tests through a comprehensive test facility based in California, USA and on-road testing services, with operations in China and Germany.
2. Laboratory testing and simulation
Laboratory testing and simulation includes products relating to simulation, noise and vibration and the assessment of kinematics and compliance in vehicles; and simulation software. These products are used to evaluate vehicle dynamics, noise, vibration and harshness and autonomy across a wide range of applications including conventional vehicles, motorsport and automated/autonomous vehicles.
Our simulator products along with our market-leading physics-based simulation software reduce new vehicle development timescales and costs by allowing meaningful testing earlier in the development process.
