EMC testing ensures that the many electronic components in modern vehicles can provide optimized safety and convenience functions without the risk of electromagnetic interference.
Modern vehicles are extraordinarily complex and offer dozens of computerized features that rely on electronics. As they work to incorporate “smart” technologies, vehicle designers and manufacturers need to be certain that the electromagnetic signals emitted by various vehicle systems do not interfere with one another. This protects not only convenience features but critical safety features as well.
Element’s vast experience in automotive testing, together with our extensive knowledge of wired and wireless technologies, make us the ideal partner to support you as you enhance your existing platforms with new technologies. We help to successfully bring the next generation of connected, electrified, and even autonomous vehicles to market.
