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.

“We are really looking forward to align our expertise in this field”, adds Wilfried Klassmann, CEO of CETECOM Group. “The technology and its guaranteed functionality is the main driver for connected driving to change road traffic as we know it today.”
