Bureau Veritas
VALUE

Experience

For the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Bureau Veritas and partners developed the Connected Vehicle Next Stage Certification Environment. As a partner in the Telematics Initiative NRW in Germany, we have developed an integrated test concept for a telematics services demonstrator. Bureau Veritas is a leading player in the vehicle charging marketplace.

Global Footprint

Our clients benefit from access to in excess of 50 labs supporting the Smartworld, including Connected Cars, and we continue to develop our footprint to meet the changing dynamics of the numerous market segments.

Recognition

We work together with numerous connected vehicle organizations to support the development of specifications and to gain valuable insights into upcoming requirements. By combining these with our engineering capabilities, we are able to offer test services at an early stage, before their release as official standards. We participate in organizations with a special interest in connected vehicles (ETSI, ISO TCO24, IEEE, SAE, Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, etc.) and also those that are explicitly engaged in promoting V2X systems like OmniAir, Connected Vehicle Trade Association (CVTA), Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) and CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium.
