NCCAR offers comprehensive vehicle engineering services through affiliate partners with a wide range of application experience ranging from one-off demonstrator builds to serial production engineering and production release.

The NCCAR site has been painstakingly designed and configured to provide users with all the facilities and features required for efficient “one-stop-shop” vehicle development. Key features include a world class ride and handling course with integral 0.5 mile straight; 40 feet wide lane and adjacent 128 feet diameter vehicle dynamics area.

Such features in one location offers clients unparalleled abilities to undertake rapid development work.

Viable business cases for low volume vehicles is readily scaled up to higher volume programs.

Custom developed software is one of the keys to lean and efficient work. Such tools help designers and engineers make rapid progress in the definition and tuning of systems without the usual delay of specialist technical analysis.

An example is the use of a kinematics and compliance rig to gain very rapid understanding of vehicle behavior without turning a wheel. The process simply measures the characteristics of the vehicle chassis from structure through to tire contact patch and then allows fast analysis and even dynamic predictions.

NCCAR collective capabilities are not limited to just light weight, low volume vehicles. Our combined staff has experience of trucks, buses and military vehicles.
