Applus IDIADA CHINA Proving Ground

Applus IDIADA CHINA Proving Ground

Applus IDIADA will be managing a new proving ground complex in China open to all companies in the automotive sector. EUROPE + CHINA Applus IDIADA is contributing to the design of the new proving ground, which keeps the same level of track quality and follows the same rules and standards of safety and confidentiality that apply in Applus IDIADA s proving ground in Spain. Same customer services and client orientated procedures Same standards of safety Construction started in October 2013 and will start operation in 2016. State-of-the-art test tracks and workshops
