VI-grade Announces Availability of Validated Applus+ IDIADA Vehicle Models in VI-CarRealTime

The collaboration represents a significant step forward in virtual vehicle development, enabling automotive OEMs and suppliers to use IDIADA's validated vehicle models in both offline and online simulations on driving simulators through the VI-CarRealTime platform. These models, derived from physical vehicle testing, allow manufacturers to perform in-depth virtual evaluations of vehicle dynamics and performance with customizable parameters such as tire models and payloads, ensuring more flexible and accurate development workflows.

“We are excited to deepen our relationship with VI-grade,” said Guido Tosolin, Senior Manager of Chassis Development at Applus+ IDIADA. “The integration of our vehicle models into VI-CarRealTime ensures seamless interaction between virtual and physical test environments, enabling our customers to accelerate development cycles while maintaining uncompromising standards of safety and performance.”

“This expanded collaboration with Applus+ IDIADA further strengthens our commitment to our Zero Prototypes strategy, bridging the gap between virtual and physical vehicle testing,” commented Guido Bairati, Managing Director at VI-grade. “By offering vehicle models based on real-world data from IDIADA’s testing facilities, our customers can achieve more accurate simulations and faster development times. This strengthened partnership will greatly enhance their ability to prepare, validate, and refine their vehicle designs in a virtual environment before moving to physical tests.”
