Building on more than 15 years of collaborative development at Renault, the formation of AVS will further enhance product development using driving simulators. This new joint venture will acquire the automotive assets of Sogeclair's Oktal subsidiary, which will be transferred to the newly formed company. Simulation testing has become strategic for the automotive industry with the widespread use of assistive technologies and autonomous cars. Fleet testing and simulation go hand in hand with developing autonomous vehicles. In order to achieve the targeted level of reliability, test vehicles must accumulate a vast number of kilometers, which would normally take many years of driving. Along with fleet tests and accelerated testing methods, simulation with virtual testing is helpful to accelerate the process and accommodate it within a project timeline. The new developments in products and services aim to strengthen the position of SCANeR simulation software as the world leader. ABOUT GROUPE RENAULT Groupe Renault has been making cars since 1898.
