Safe and efficient mobility
The benefits of applying new technological innovations are evident: a lot of profit can still be achieved in the logistics sector through greater efficiency. And in the passenger car market there is still a lot to be gained in terms of comfort and safety. TNO is at the forefront of the development of the latest technology for use in the automotive sector. Why? Because mobility can be more efficient, more comfortable and, above all, safer.

Siemens, AVL, Daimler Truck
-
Cleaner cities thanks to innovations in urban logistics
'The StreetWise methodology offers the foundation for safety assessment. In addition, our shared beliefs regarding traffic safety ensure that TNO understands our needs and can provide the support to implement and scale up this methodology.'
'Recent testing indicates that an enhanced AEB system incorporating Goodyear SightLine technology has the potential to assist in mitigating impacts at speeds of up to 50 mph on low-friction surfaces. Safety is a cornerstone of Goodyear’s commitment to innovation. By providing critical inputs about tire and road conditions into AEB systems, we are helping OEMs and their customers take a leap forward in safety.'
