The team provides input at all phases in the design and development process, including input at the styling and packaging phases. This approach ensures that compliance with the agreed safety targets is fully integrated into the programme at the earliest possible stage and is continually monitored throughout the programme.
Over time, Contechs has built up good working relationships with a number of different test facilities and safety system suppliers, with whom they maintain regular communication and liaison. However, Contechs is happy to work with whichever test facility and supplier base the client specifies.

Contechs knowledge and experience on the advantages and limitations of utilising simulation and analysis techniques allows us to maximise their use, thereby minimising the amount of physical testing required and reducing overall programme time scales, whilst ensuring that the safety targets are met.
The safety integration team's wealth of knowledge and experience with safety testing means that it can define test specifications and parameters to ensure that the maximum amount of information is derived from the minimum number of tests.
Contechs safety integration experience is not just limited to passenger cars. Although the safety integration team has the experience of working on a wide variety of passenger cars, ranging from specialist highÐperformance sports cars to mass produced family hatchbacks, they also have experience with a wide range of other vehicle types, including vans, trucks, buses, and coaches.
