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.
