R&D and Product Development Projects
Our company invests in technology to stay competitive and turns technological know-how into products.
We start by analysing the need
Teknik Fren analyses the needs of the market and develops new solutions in order to get maximum efficiency from the product and bring down operating costs in today's conditions.
Once we have defined the market's problems and gaps, we check our customers' requirements against market analyses and benchmarking studies.
From analysis to prototype
Realistic analysis
Our closeness to the market and our specific knowledge of both the manufacturer's and the customer's side enable us to produce highly realistic analyses from a variety of perspectives.
Design: down to the smallest detail
Good design requires high-quality knowledge. Thanks to our in-house product development, our technology monitoring and our cooperation with test institutes, we share a high level of know-how with automotive manufacturers.
Risk analysis
A key part of this phase is a rigorous risk analysis.
Integration with the vehicle manufacturer
Because our processes are designed to interlock with the vehicle manufacturer's, we work quickly and efficiently: maximum transparency, minimum lead time.
The result
A design thought through to the finest detail. We optimise the original components in the best possible way and build sustainability, maintenance and after-sales considerations into the design.
Prototype
Building a prototype is a process of refinement. We do this with our dedicated prototype team of engineers and specialist workshop staff.
A fast transition to series production
We use 3D CAD in our prototype designs to get results quickly, speed up the transition to series production and minimise design errors.
We carry out durability and long-distance road tests on the prototype vehicles we design using our dedicated GPS-linked test equipment, collecting data in real time, and then manage the homologation process.
- Chassis and additional axle optimisation
- Cab modification
- Special vehicles
The entire process, from R&D to delivery.
Our processes are designed to interlock with the vehicle manufacturer's, which means maximum transparency and minimum lead time.
Market and Needs Analysis
We analyse the need against technology, market, regulatory and price criteria and define a realistic solution.
3D CAD Design
Design down to the smallest detail. Using 3D CAD speeds up the transition to series production and minimises design errors.
Risk Analysis
Sustainability, maintenance and after-sales considerations are built into the design, and risks are assessed rigorously.
Prototype and Road Testing
Our dedicated prototype team prepares the vehicle; durability and long-distance road tests are carried out with our GPS-linked test equipment.
Homologation
Tests are carried out with authorised technical services, the engineering documentation (project file) is prepared and an application for certification is submitted to TSE.
Delivery
The new configuration is programmed into the vehicle's ECU using our diagnostic equipment, and the vehicle is handed over.
