Passenger cars and lightweight commercial vehicles
Everything from a single source
The new development of vehicles requires compliance with numerous statutory regulations. If import or export are involved here, the number of requirements often increases significantly.
With its individual, sample and type testing of passenger vehicle and light commercial vehicles, TÜV NORD provides reliable support for planning through to running production. We are also a competent partner for introducing the Framework Directive EG 2007/46 and licensing according to 2007/46 and thus, we can help you open the doors to the European domestic market.
We advise vehicle and component manufacturers and importers in the early stages of the new development of vehicle types or vehicle components on all road traffic matters. You will find in us an experienced and skilled partner also for specific issues and requirements, for example in connection with self-built and converted vehicles or vintage vehicles.
