“The launch of the first test center on African soil is an important strategic milestone for FEV,” said Stefan Pischinger, CEO of FEV Group. “With this test center, UTAC and FEV offer their customers world-class test facilities in an exceptional environment,” said Connor McCormack, CEO of UTAC. The state-of-the-art facility in Oued Zem is located at an altitude of 850 meters in Morocco’s Atlas foothills. The site covers a total area of 500 hectares and comprises an extensive, completely newly built test area for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The newly built test center offers customers a full range of test rigs for powertrain development (electric, hybrid and vehicles with combustion engines), RDE cycles, endurance and reliability testing, dynamics, acoustics, and climate testing.
