Quality Engineering Services for the Automotive Industry

Our quality engineering services optimize the quality of products and processes along the entire supply chain. This ensures, at the end of the chain, that only tried, tested and flawless parts and vehicles leave the production facilities and shops of the vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.

With our in-development services for the automotive industry, we lay the foundations for ensuring that the testing and country-specific certifications of new vehicles and components proceed according to globally consistent standards, and that future services too can be provided in a cost-efficient and customer-oriented manner from the time of market launch.

Formel D also offers engineering services for the overall vehicle all along the automotive value chain. Our service portfolio includes the construction and reconstruction of prototypes, test vehicles and special-purpose vehicles during the development phase, rework during ramp-up and within series production, conversions and retrofits to finished vehicles, as well as the upgrading of used vehicles and pre-delivery inspections.

We offer our customers a comprehensive service network for the automotive industry all over the world. Solution-oriented consultancy services, professional project management and dedicated training courses guarantee continuous improvement to processes and quality standards for both you and your business partners. We take on outsourced partial processes in product development, production and aftersales so that you can concentrate on your core processes and place the overall responsibility for these activities in experienced hands.
