Goodyear orders VI-grade driving simulators
Goodyear ordered VI-grade COMPACT and DiM250 driving simulators for its Luxembourg and Akron innovation centers.
Evidence notes
- The Luxembourg innovation center had received a COMPACT Simulator for virtual tire development.
- A DiM250 dynamic simulator was scheduled for installation at Goodyear's Akron, Ohio center.
- The systems let engineers tune tire performance across simulated driving conditions before physical prototyping.
Company context
VI-grade develops real-time vehicle simulation software, driving simulators and hardware-in-the-loop systems. Founded in Italy in 2005 and part of HBK, it combines vehicle-dynamics models, motion platforms, control loading and connected laboratories for automotive and motorsport development. Its systems let engineers and drivers evaluate chassis, ADAS, human factors and automated-driving behaviour before road prototypes are available.
