The Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH is Europe’s largest R&D center for virtual vehicle technology with 300 employees. Research priority is the linking of numerical simulations and hardware testing, which leads to a powerful HW-SW whole system design and automation of testing and validation procedures. Following this focus on industry-related research VIRTUAL VEHICLE is the innovation catalyst for future vehicle technologies.
The international partner network of VIRTUAL VEHICLE consists of around 100 national and international industrial partners (OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers as well as software providers) as well as over 40 national and international scientific institutions.
We enable our clients to achieve a decisive technological lead, thanks to our innovative power, our effective integration in the European research platform, our global and close cooperation with the best universities and corporate R&D departments, and ultimately thanks to our scientific excellence. We create value by shaping the digitalisation of vehicle development and by connecting the virtual and real worlds. The foundation for this is our team of highly qualified and committed staff.
The close cooperation with industry and the scientific community is not just a tradition at VIRTUAL VEHICLE, it is also the foundation for the success of the research center. This allows us to deliver research and development results with determination and drive. We assume personal responsibility for the joint effort to successfully complete whatever we have started.
The world around us is becoming more complex and is turning faster. Key words and expressions such as digitalisation, changing values and dynamic market development are in continuous daily use. Whoever tries to describe these complex thought structures with just one word would call it “VUCA world”. Industrially-oriented research and innovative technological developments are the prerequisites for our competitiveness in this world. Balanced and interdisciplinary teams allow VIRTUAL VEHICLE to offer expert knowledge, creativity and innovative perspectives for the development future vehicles.
Our goals are to deliver the best possible performance and to continuously improve what we do. In this respect, VIRTUAL VEHICLE is broadly and sustainably anchored internationally and thus contributes to bringing focus to the profile of the international research community involved in vehicle development.
