TASS International offers simulation solutions for virtual development and verification of connected and cooperative technologies on a functional level, as well as worldwide accredited labs and test sites for evaluation, validation and homologation of components, for complete vehicles as well as cooperative systems. CETECOM’s focus within the partnership is on certification, conformity assessment and type approval services for communication technologies.
