Bus inspection

Customised buses and manual production make quality control difficult, especially for e-buses. TÜV NORD Mobilität uses a web-based solution to check vehicle quality during production.

The bus industry is booming and becoming increasingly international - both customers and manufacturers must be able to rely on their respective contractual partners in this market:

  • On the customer side, there is a need to stay up to date on quality - i.e. specifications and possible defects - during production and before acceptance.
  • On the manufacturer's side, it is important to ensure and visualise that their own work meets the specification and is free from defects

Both sides therefore benefit from a neutral body that is present at the various production steps as required.

Our TÜV NORD bus inspection team can do just that:

  • Auditing of the pre-series vehicle
  • Quality assurance during the entire manufacturing process
  • Pre-delivery inspection (PDI)
