Throughout the entire product development process – from the architecture and modular system development right to start of production – our experts support and develop integral solutions in the context of the vehicle as a whole.
We work with the automobile development process chain from the first draft design right to the final design implementation. To stay on top of the growing requirements on a vehicle today and into the future, in the concept phase our experts develop together with OEMs the layout for the vehicle as a whole. Taking into account the latest legal requirements, general technical conditions of the specialist departments and the expectations of the design, we develop a coordinated concept model or alternative concepts which can be decided upon by the upper management. Ergonomics studies, active and passive vehicle safety, the latest legal requirements and the validation of the functionality of all relevant components are part of our daily work.
Once the basic features of the design have been approved, the colleagues begin work on the Class A development. Here, mediations between the technology and design departments are more detailed. Our know-how related to perfect surfaces and light gradations while taking all technical factors into account makes us the ideal partner for the design process.
Through experiments (wind tunnel, driving trials) and supporting and supplementary calculations we develop aerodynamic measures (active / passive) for the vehicle as a whole throughout the entire product development process, from the design determination stage to start of production:
For years, air conditioning solutions from Bertrandt have enhanced the wellbeing and safety of drivers and occupants.
New forms of powertrain and modes of autonomous driving are heralding many new requirements on air conditioning. For example, variable sitting positions mean new solutions for air conditioning for the passenger compartment will be necessary in future. With electric vehicles heat energy, too, is not just a byproduct of a combustion engine anymore.
Regardless whether it is a new kind of product or just a “conventional” series – we develop ideas, produce simulations, and test the efficacy of new air conditioning solutions on our testing facilities.
We work together will all the major system suppliers and offer proposals for technical implementation.

From concept determination right to start of production, we develop complete two-wheel vehicles and their parts and components right through the entire product development process:
