With the emergence of new autonomous vehicle technologies and the electrification of

vehicles, safety testing is essential.  The project consists of the acquisition of a 65,000 sq. ft. existing facility which will house two highly precise and powerful test stands.

These test stands will be utilized to evaluate automotive restraints, seating and interior equipment according to domestic and international safety standards.  The Calspan-offered testing services will support the needs of the U.S. Department of Transportation, all global automakers and their suppliers.  The customer base include such names as the National Transportation Safety Board, as well as major car manufacturers.
