Customer oriented technology
The best way to define the daily work of the ADR group’s technical
offices.
Nowadays, the product engineer is a key figure in all companies who have
understood that strict collaboration with manufacturers from the very
first stages of a project is the winning strategy in our global, third
millennium world.
The group’s internationality and its Italian inventive are the secrets
behind the competitiveness and competence of an organisation that has
chosen never to be satisfied with results.
Research
The heart of technological innovation is research.
The collaboration of ADR group company study centres with famed
international university institutes, with the most qualified vehicle
manufacturers, from the starting stages of a new project, means being
able to define product characteristics and functions based on customer
expectations and growing together.
The international core of the ADR group places it in a privileged
position with different realities and enriches its know-how in a sector
racing towards the future
Experience and competence at the service of innovation and safety.
Experimentation
Developing new products and improving production are only possible
through ongoing experimentation with new technical solutions and
simulating the most critical service conditions.
The ADR test centre, an integral part of the Uboldo plant, is the only
one in Europe able to submit axles to a full test.
The ADR roller test bench is the heart of the laboratory and can test
axles of up to 15 tons, at a speed of 100 km/h, thanks to its 500 kW
power.
…and then, the final verdict: the field one with lab vehicles designed
in ADR combined with the collaboration of main manufacturers.
Homologation
ADR braking axles are homologated to European Community directive
standards.
The technical characteristics of ADR products are recognised in all
Community area Countries and in those connected to them.
Having homologated axles means that manufacturers can safely define
vehicle characteristics from very early project stages and create a
product in line with standards in force in industrialised countries:
thus the double goal of standardising your product and widening your
commercial horizons.
The ADR customer also knows that it can count on an expert, prepared
partner in both the design stage and during field testing.
Along with conformity to Community directives, ADR products are also
approved by local standards: for example, by TUV in the German Federal
Republic and by CEMAGREF and UTAC in France.
