Main components

MESSRING crash test systems offer state-of-the-art technology for all common test protocols such as NCAP, IIHS, ISO, or FMVSS—as well as individual test requirements. They enable frontal, side, and small overlap tests, angle crashes, and rollover scenarios and can be efficiently adapted to different requirements thanks to modular crash blocks and flexible test areas. High-precision track systems, film pits, and powerful drives ensure precise vehicle guidance and optimal high-speed documentation. This makes the systems ideally equipped for current and future vehicle safety requirements.
