AB Dynamics opens £10m Engineering Design Centre
Automotive test system supplier AB Dynamics has officially opened a £10m Engineering Design Centre (EDC) in the UK
The centre in Wiltshire will develop a new version of AB Dynamics’ driving simulator for vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers and Formula 1 teams, including Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN. It is also being used to develop market-leading vehicle test equipment, which is used by more than 25 of the biggest vehicle manufacturers in the world and organisations, such as Euro NCAP, to improve the safety of vehicles.
“AB Dynamics has grown significantly over the last few years and in order to continue that trend we needed to expand,” said Mark Allman, Managing Director at AB Dynamics. “The new EDC enables us to provide our engineering and software teams with a purpose-built, dedicated facility. By bringing the teams together under one roof we are able to improve collaboration throughout the company and ultimately develop better products for our customers.”
The 3,000m2 facility utilises solar panels to create more than 60,000kW of electricity a year and has eight electric vehicle charging points installed with the infrastructure available to expand this as demand increases.
