Homologation (Greek homologeo, ὁμολογέω, "to agree") is the granting of approval by an official authority. In automotive competition, Homologation is the process of certifying that a particular vehicle is roadworthy and matches certain specified criteria laid out by the government for all vehicles made or imported into that country.

🤝💡 TÜV SÜD and ADAC are consolidating their expertise in the approval of new vehicle types in accordance with international regulations. Their objective is to offer all homologation services from a single source. 🚗🔍 In the face of rapidly advancing vehicle technology and constantly changing international regulations, there are advantages in having a single point of contact right from the development phase of a new vehicle generation. The tests required for the type approval are carried out directly at the test grounds – an efficient single-source process thanks to the pooled know-how and resources of ADAC and TÜV SÜD. As the amount and complexity of software-defined vehicles rapidly rise, there is an increasingly urgent need for a barrier-free, safe and secure interface between the industry on the one hand and the approval authorities on the other. Smooth processes can only be guaranteed if not only homologation but also the entire life cycle of a vehicle is addressed right from the early development stage of a vehicle model. 👉 Read more about our cooperation with ADAC and how we can support you with your vehicle approval: https://lnkd.in/eYjKqT6C #tuvsud #vehiclehomologation #typeapproval #carapproval
