TÜV Rheinland Automotive Component Testing GmbH offers you services for validation and type testing along the value chain of the development of vehicle battery systems up to 800 kilograms. Based in the Dutch-German industry park Avantis in Heerlen-Aachen we use a battery test laboratory with a size of approx. 2,000 square meters. This laboratory is an essential part of a technology hub. Several mobility startups as well as companies of the mobility industry are also located there.
