In the context of numerous bilateral projects, fka is established as a renowned partner for processing benchmarking analyses in the automotive industry.

Based on our expertise and experience in design and functional benchmarkings, future recommendations are derived for our customers and their products. In the field of overall vehicles as well as on component level, our clients benefit from our comprehensive testing infrastructure, which allows a customised analysis of the particular component or vehicle.

The components and vehicles can be modelled with different CAE methods and optimised for further product developments. For example thermal, mechanical or electrical energy flows can be modelled and control strategies can be optimised. By reverse engineering methods and FEA meshing, overall vehicles as well as single components (e.g. crash management system) can be analysed. Thus benchmarking results provide suitable opportunities for the enhancement of innovative systems and components.

We support your project with interdisciplinary competencies, if desired from the early concept phase, through the design and construction phase to the realization of prototype vehicle superstructures and customer-specific conversions. We can also support you in the physical testing of your prototype with a wide range of test benches across all vehicle areas. In addition, we also develop customer-specific test benches that meet your individual requirements.

With the help of our experts, we develop individual special solutions for you that are highly up-to-date with regard to the use of materials and production technologies. Whether fibre composites or generative manufacturing, we will find a tailor-made solution for your application. If necessary, we can fall back on a broad spectrum of competent partners with whom we have been working together for many years.
