Fully Optimised Systems
Contechs is at the forefront of developing dynamic, fully optimised body and chassis systems for OEM and Tier 1 projects. Our integrated engineering team has experience in balancing critical attributes such as cost, weight, safety, durability, modal and NVH characteristics.
Using lightweight construction and hybrid technologies, we develop complete body and chassis systems, acting as an integrator to all interfaces in the pursuit of a production-optimised solution to minimise cost and development time.
The Contechs engineering team has delivered major automotive projects ranging from low volume, bespoke luxury and hypercars to high volume commercial vehicles as a fully managed turnkey deliverable or providing flexible engineering resource.
