Vehicle Test & Evaluation

Take your vehicle testing up a gear

Do you need to see how your vehicle will perform when the going gets tough? Or perhaps you need to verify that it meets international standards? At FMV Test and Evaluation (T&E), we’ll steer your vehicle and system testing in the right direction.

We have all you need to validate that your vehicle is behaving as expected across a range of terrains and climate challenges. Whether it’s main battle tanks, combat vehicles or tactical wheeled vehicles, you’ll find a variety of routes and obstacles with which to perform thorough vehicle mobility tests.

Meet international civil and military standards

Our experienced staff can support your T&E project, helping you to verify and validate your vehicles or systems – whether to international standards or in accordance with the criteria of your choice.

We can also measure noise levels inside the vehicle to ensure they aren’t harmful to the occupants, as well as offer a variety of cold climate and deep snow tests, including firings from the vehicle.
