Why AEC?

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES

Our vehicle processing centers in Antwerp and Zeebrügge, Belgium service one of the largest ports in Europe and process thousands of cars every year.

WE’RE FULLY EV READY

We are working with manufacturers to ensure their electric vehicles are ready to capture new markets, too. Powered by technology and the expertise of our EV-certified development engineers and technicians, our full-scope service facilities are driving growth for a new era.

UNIQUE SOLUTIONS FOR UNIQUE SITUATIONS

We work with automotive brands to develop viable solutions for regulatory needs in key global markets, from prototype development for market homologation procedures in our Munich R&D facility to testing for compliance in leading certified laboratories.

In addition to large scale product launches, we support small-series, single-type-approval procedures, as well as the development and homologation of specialized parts that are crucial to low-volume product launch including early-stage product launch and end-of-life relaunch.

STAYING AHEAD OF COMPLIANCE

Rapidly evolving regulations such as WLTP create strategic challenges for manufacturers. That’s why AEC’s engineering team works proactively to monitor risks and develop solutions that ensure product launches and market expansions proceed uninterrupted.

Current regulatory trends and the subsequent electrification plans of key automotive companies stipulate soft-product launch in Europe. Many manufacturers understand both the need for operating a global brand, as well as the associated risks.
