The conference, which takes place on 16th and 17th July 2018, is organised by carhs GmbH, and brings together over 300 automotive safety experts to discuss the latest requirements and innovations in active and passive safety. Accompanied by a comprehensive trade show with global suppliers of development technologies and services, the summit is one of the leading events in the Automotive Safety calendar.
This year the event will feature keynotes from international experts, presentations on requirements and innovations, the latest developments in testing, and simulation for active and passive systems in the fields of active and passive safety. Cellbond’s ATD Business Development Manager, Paul Lemmen, will be delivering a talk on Cellbond’s ATD products, which focusses on the new aPLI and THOR-50M Dummy, on Tuesday 17th July.
