Homologation

Why is homologation required for commercial vehicle modifications?

Approval from the competent authorities is mandatory for the modification or manufacture of a vehicle. Automotive homologation is the process of certifying that the vehicle, or a particular component, meets the requirements set by the statutory regulatory bodies.

In applications such as the chassis modification, additional axle or GVW upgrade we carry out on your Otokar, Isuzu or Mercedes commercial vehicle, the vehicle goes through this process. The same team handles both the modification and the certification: because our processes are designed to interlock with the vehicle manufacturer's, we achieve maximum transparency and minimum lead time.

For details of the process, see our homologation and testing and certification pages.

Process

How does the homologation process work?

All of these steps are carried out by our authorised in-house engineers.

Step 01

Preliminary development tests

On the prototypes we design, we carry out our preliminary tests with our own test equipment and under the supervision of our specialist engineers, just as a vehicle manufacturer would.

Step 02

Authorised technical service tests

Together with technical services authorised by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology of the Republic of Türkiye, the technical units affected by the modification are tested and the test reports are obtained.

Step 03

Engineering documentation and TSE application

The engineering documentation (project file) for the modified vehicle is prepared and an application for certification is submitted to TSE.
