Evaluation of material and/or trial methods in transportation tests environment

Country of Origin: France
Reference Number: TOFR20190719004
Publication Date: 19 July 2019

Summary

A French SME, based in northern France, is specialized in tests and R&D projects in transportation environment. It is proposing to evaluate testing machines or trial methods in the specific area of ground transportation sector. It can ensure that the machine or the technique fulfill automotive manufacturers requirements. It is looking for partners willing to collaborate under technical cooperation agreement.

Description

A French SME, acting as a technology center, is located in northern France. It is specialized in ground transportation sector, especially automotive and railway. It has for assignment to support companies in their research, innovation and development processes. To do so, it relies on a team of PhDs and engineers, and testing equipment for various thematic trials: reliability, comfort, safety, etc.



The ground transportation sector is a strict and define sector where many standards are applied. Thus, testing techniques and testing equipment are not changing very often and innovations have to be approved by major suppliers and manufacturers. 



The French SME is used to work with French manufacturers and their standards. It also has a strong experience with European major automotive manufacturers. It has a strong technologic and scientific know-how regarding transportation issues. In that way, the French SME proposes to qualify new testing equipment in ground transportation environment, according to manufacturers and suppliers expectations. It can also intervene to evaluate a new testing technique. This is an opportunity to propose, for example to automotive manufacturers, new equipment and trial techniques which can be innovative, time-efficient, cost-efficient, etc.

The French SME is used to perform trial with conventional techniques and machines already used by the ground transportation sector. It has the experience in many technical areas: fatigue, acoustics, vibratory analyses, climatic analyses, aeroacoustics, sunlight simulation, braking, pedestrian impact, crash vehicles, accelerated tests… It can bring a specific and strong experience especially regarding acoustic characterization and thermomechanical ageing tests.



The French SME is looking for partners, providing testing machines or testing techniques (innovative ones or improvement of existing systems). Both partners cooperate under technical cooperation agreements where their experiences are pooled and skills shared to perform the development of new technical machines and tests techniques.

Advantages and Innovations

Experienced team of PhD and engineer specialized in ground transportation issues 

Strong experience with European major automotive manufacturers

Referenced in the French manufacturers’ database

Aware of the latest updates though contrinually performing tests for already referenced suppliers

Stage Of Development

Already on the market

Requested partner

Field of activity of the partner sought: testing machines, ground transportation, and automotive industry 

Type of partner sought: from SMEs to major companies developing testing machines, or companies developing and improving testing techniques



The French SME is looking for partners, providing testing machines or testing techniques (innovative ones or improvement of existing systems). Both partners cooperate under technical cooperation agreements where their experiences are pooled and skills shared to perform the development of new technical machines and tests techniques. As the French SME is referenced in the French manufacturers’ database, it can also be for the partner new market opportunity near the major companies of transportation sector in France (to a lesser extent at European level too).
