Developing a strategy to manage the conflicting needs of NCAP and Low Speed Impact can be difficult. Involve SBD early in your design process for measured and cost-effective results.
A reduction in the extent of damage in low speed crash and efficient methods of repair are vital if a vehicle model is going to compete and gain competitive cost of ownership. SBD’s work in low speed crash is a natural complement to its security and cost of ownership activity. When SBD was formed in the mid 1990’s, security was a major issue for cost of ownership across Europe. Since that time theft has reduced in most EU countries, but the cost of ownership due to damage caused in low speed crash has increased in importance and now plays a major role in manufacturers overall cost of ownership strategy.
With experienced, qualified specialists in vehicle structure design and development, SBD provide services in the following areas:
- Helping you to understand how to cost effectively position your model range with strategic planning to include competitor benchmarking, target setting and concept structure development
- Ensure you have the optimum structure design using latest modelling and simulation techniques
- Maximise the performance benefit of your design by careful management and supervision of crash test activity to relevant standards
- Effective management of the process for repair methods and creation of repair manuals for after sales
