Vehicle & Prototype Services

Vehicle & Prototype Services – we make dreams a reality

For us, the focus is on the car as a whole. We take care of vehicle constructions and modifications for small series (such as official agency vehicles) and prototype vehicles, additions and removals of measuring technology in the vehicle, and the disassembly and disposal of a vehicle. We are also responsible for the testing of the vehicle as a whole, including endurance testing, which means we put it through its paces. We also offer a whole variety of services in the production and processing of vehicles, such powertrain production or body construction. Our service range is rounded off with services related to design model construction. Here, we can offer customers models of individual components as well as entire systems.

As vehicle technology specialist, we put vehicles on the road, effectively and reliably. Exceptional expertise and the highest standard of quality make the mobility of tomorrow a tangible experience. From the initial concept, to series production, right through to end-of-life.

Official agency and special vehicles

Bertrandt has been developing official agency and emergency vehicles for more than 15 years, and modifies more than 600 vehicles annually. The portfolio ranges from fire department and emergency vehicles, to police vehicles, right through to measurement vehicles. These modifications are independent of the vehicle manufacturer, and are designed specifically to meet the requirements of the respective target groups or their areas of use.
