Jonathan Drew

As to my background, I am an engineer by trade. I spent almost 25 years in manufacturing in the Detroit area working for different automotive suppliers, including owning one of those supplier firms. I supplied the transportation industry, the same markets, and companies we deal with now: on-road and off-road vehicles, trucks, agricultural, powersports and military. In 2015, I moved into the automotive testing world, as it fit my background. I was familiar with the technology and standards.

Future of transportation and why testing matters

At TÜV SÜD, we are committed to delivering the highest quality and performance in our EV battery and system solutions. We recognize the importance of safety and reliability in these systems through product development and validation, and that's why we used the combined experience from our North America, European, and Asian battery labs to develop the most capable independent battery test lab in North America. We recently opened our state of the art testing lab in Auburn Hills.
