More information:

Applus+ IDIADA is the Technical Approval Service designated by MINCOTUR for all national and European type regulations and partial regulations for all vehicle categories. Our ATP test station, also designated by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, has been accredited by ENAC (35/LE159) for ATP testing since 2004.

With the latest improvements, IDIADA's ATP test station now has greater capacity thanks to a new large cold tunnel that allows the testing of vehicles of any size (including articulated buses) as well as the option of testing up to three prototypes simultaneously.

Our isothermal body and box homologation services are suitable for manufacturers, fleets and individuals, who can also carry out verification tests on vehicles that need to renew their ATP certification.

Specific customized tests (temperatures, duration, thermal cycles, ...) can be designed for any category of vehicle or non-vehicle prototype for purposes such as research and development, internal quality checks, evaluation of suppliers or raw materials, or to meet specific customer requirements.
