Bringing innovation to the road safely and sustainably

The rapidly advancing automation and electrification of vehicles requires innovative testing technologies and procedures in order to ensure safe and environmentally friendly mobility. With the Charter 2030, the testing organisations are taking a stand on the necessary further developments in technical vehicle testing.

Key messages

The key messages of the Charter 2030

Holistic inspection of modern vehicles

As inspection organisations, we ensure a high level of safety and sustainability throughout the entire life cycle of a vehicle – from development through approval to operation.

Digitalisation and interconnectivity for safe and sustainable mobility

The experts and PTI inspectors of the testing organizations act as independent third parties for, among other things, the safety of connected vehicles and user-centric access to (mobility) data.

Sustainable protection of people and the environment

The inspection organisations ensure compliance with environmental standards and contribute to the introduction of environmentally compatible vehicle technologies and new mobility solutions.

Modern, innovation-friendly legal framework

The inspection organisations support the further progress and harmonisation of requirements for the development, approval and inspection of modern vehicles.

THE PERIODIC TECHNICAL INSPECTION – INNOVATIVE AND DIGITAL

The periodic technical inspection –
What will it look like in the future?

The testing organisations are further developing the main inspection through innovative testing technologies and procedures and an efficient and modular test procedure. Safety, environmental compatibility and compliance with regulations in increasingly digitalised traffic are thus guaranteed today and in the future.
