"This investment in our Driver-in-the-Loop simulation capabilities is a major milestone as we build a comprehensive ecosystem for accurately predicting tire performance in the virtual world."
We strive for a development process that allows us to assess reliability before manufacturing. We believe this is digital development using a driving simulator and we hope to lower the barriers so that not only automotive OEMs, but also suppliers can use it."

“The COMPACT FSS is viewed as a strategic step towards accelerating our development cycle, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, and enhancing simulation capabilities in our DiL hub Crewe, UK.”
"We are fully aligned with the Zero Prototypes vision of fully validating cars thanks to simulation software, driving simulators, and Hardware-in-the-Loop to ensure performance and safety. Virtual testing before road testing is essential to save time, money, and produce a superior product.“

"The integration of VI-grade's state-of-the-art simulator technology into our new Zero Prototype Lab exemplifies our shared commitment to innovation, set to make a substantial impact on the future of engineering services worldwide."
"Our strongest reason for choosing VI-grade as a supplier is the possibility of sharing know-how within the VW Group. VI-grade has proven to be a performing and reliable partner for NVH advanced applications."
"This new facility is an enabler of our attribute-led development methodology, while also being a critical tool supporting complex engineering developments across ADAS, HMI and XiL.”
“With this new simulator and other testing capabilities, CICV testing company led by the national think tank is forging a service platform with an innovation ecosystem that supports advanced technology development and technology transfer.”
“The Driving Simulator not only allows us to refine conventional automobile driving skills such as running, stopping, and turning, but also to safely perform functional verification of automatic driving systems and advanced safety control systems."
"The availability of optimum Driver-in-the-Loop solutions combined with our proving ground provides unique development methods that minimize the use of prototypes, thus reducing the critical development path and overall costs."
"This investment is a crucial part of our toolbox to develop mobility solutions for a different tomorrow. Our ambition with the simulator is to replicate the real world to provide our engineers with an alternative to real world tests."
The possibility to have a driver-in-the-loop in our STATIC Simulator, allowing us to include the driver’s perception when testing our systems, as well as the ability of testing the performance before prototyping it, is of great value for our organization."
"The installation of the simulator contributes in making the Politecnico di Milano competitive on an international scale and turns the Bovisa area into an ecosystem of innovation."
"This level of simulation sophistication allows us to drive breakthroughs
in future tire creation, leading to an enhanced customer and driver experience."
"The DiM250 Driving Simulator is the perfect tool for us. We can get our test drivers in there, who will be driving the real cars later or we can drive ourselves or have our management drive, establishing a target for
where we want to be with the final product."
"This facility is very important for the electrification processes we are developing. In the future, we will have Maseratis fitted with an electric engine, so we will have the ability to put it on this testbed."
"The NVH Simulator has significantly improved our development efficiency by facilitating alignment on hardware and targets early in the vehicle development process and reducing reliance on physical vehicle testing."
These are the entry-level driving simulators by VI-grade. They enable to test-drive your vehicle directly from your desk, validating their basic R&H and NVH behavior.
All main features of our driving simulators in a simple cockpit. A simulator for engineers to subjectively and quickly understand handling, ADAS and NVH vehicle behavior.
Built from a real car, our STATIC Simulators allows engineers and test drivers to work together in the development of new vehicle concepts. These simulators are suitable for ADAS, HMI and NVH evaluation.
Our actuator-driven family of dynamic simulators aimed to help virtually develop new cars in the lab. These multi-disciplinary tools ensure early, high-quality system integration in the development process.
The newest addition to the DiM family, it enables to go beyond the mechanical barriers of other simulator architectures. These simulators guarantee high adaptability and top-class performances.
Combining Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) testing with driving simulator technology accelerates getting to Zero Prototypes.
