The vehicle construction is a highly dynamic field that is continuously shaped by new technologies, materials, and types of propulsion. In this area, metrology plays a central role in meeting the increasing demands for accuracy, reliability, and innovation capability. The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the development of alternative propulsion technologies such as electromobility, biofuels, synthetic fuels, and hydrogen. This requires not only an adjustment in the design and manufacturing of vehicles but also in the development and implementation of measurement systems that are capable of meeting these new technologies.

Parallel to this, digitization is advancing, which brings the networking of vehicles, the collection and analysis of data, and the integration of intelligent systems to the forefront. These developments require metrology solutions that are not only precise and reliable but also capable of capturing and processing complex data in real time. The automotive sector is increasingly relying on individual and customer-specific solutions, which demands a flexible and innovative approach in metrology.

In this context, not only new standards in quality assurance need to be considered, but also the requirements for environmental compatibility and sustainability. This includes monitoring emissions, improving the efficiency of vehicles, and reducing material and energy consumption during production. Metrology in vehicle construction is thus not only a tool for precision and safety but also a decisive factor for innovation and progress in a rapidly developing industry.
