Last week, ALEE was at fka GmbH in Aachen for the testing of suspension lift kits for off-road vehicles on behalf of our customer Don Kyatt Group of Companies.
As a Technical Service designated by the German type approval authority (KBA), ALEE supports manufacturers throughout the testing and approval process for vehicles, systems and components.
The current project concerns the technical assessment of suspension lift kits as part of the process towards a German national parts approval under § 22 StVZO.
The test programme covered, among other aspects:
– vehicle handling and driving behaviour
– steering behaviour
– braking performance
– wheel and tyre clearance
– overall assessment of the modified vehicle configuration
The testing was carried out by Jörn Lützow, our authorised signatory and local representative at fka in Aachen.
Our colleagues Qijun Zhang and Marie-Luise Heinbach accompanied the testing on site together with Stefano Mastrogiovanni, combining practical project work with the continuous development of technical expertise within our team.
We were also pleased to welcome Jetmir SOKOLI from Don Kyatt Group, who joined us on site for the testing.
Projects like this demonstrate the advantage of combining ALEE’s responsibilities as a designated Technical Service with the specialised testing capabilities of our partner laboratories.
Many thanks to the teams at fka GmbH and Don Kyatt Group for the excellent cooperation.
