Presentation
This session examines the impact of Euro NCAP 2026 six months after its introduction and the challenges it has created for OEMs and test houses. With robustness testing and higher-speed scenarios increasing hardware and track-time requirements, testing efficiency has become a critical differentiator. The presentation explores the key bottlenecks facing validation teams and highlights how organisations can maximise productivity despite limited resources. Attendees will learn why the most successful teams will be those that optimise workflows, embrace automation and leverage technology to meet increasingly demanding protocols.
