⦿ Integrated Safety Test: Passive & Active

Propulsion System:

The propulsion system for Crash Test facilities is based in an AC Motor + Drive system with Direct Torque Control (DTC) technology.

Guidance System and Filming pits - New Nano Rail:

ADDITIUM has engineered one of the most compact rail systems and towing trolleys available on the market. The Nano Rail is specifically designed to provide an unobstructed view of the vehicle’s underside during crash testing, making it ideal for high-precision footage and analysis. To support a variety of testing environments, ADDITIUM also provides customizable filming pit configurations—including rectangular, octagonal, and multi-track options—tailored to both single and multiple track crash test setups.
