TÜV Rheinland operates at ZalaZONE in Hungary – one of Europe's most advanced ADS test facilities – and maintains testing capabilities across Greater China and the United States. Manufacturers can conduct proving ground testing close to their development teams, while completing mandatory public road testing in Europe for UNECE type approval.

TÜV Rheinland has supported the first Level 3 and Level 4 approvals granted in Germany. This hands-on approval experience is directly applicable to new programs – particularly for manufacturers navigating ALKS and ADS type approval under UNR 157.

Through active participation in UNECE committees and related standardization bodies, experts from TÜV Rheinland receive early insight into upcoming regulatory requirements. Manufacturers benefit from test strategies aligned with future standards – not just current ones.

Customers can engage TÜV Rheinland for individual test services or complete packages covering test planning, instrumentation, execution, and documentation. Teams may attend testing directly or delegate all steps to TÜV Rheinland engineers.

TÜV Rheinland has established a proven tool chain for collecting, anonymizing, and delivering AI training data in compliance with GDPR and applicable national data protection regulations. The process covers 31 European countries and has been applied to projects involving up to 4.5 petabytes of synchronized multi-sensor data.

TÜV Rheinland has a strong track record supporting Chinese vehicle manufacturers and technology suppliers in navigating European regulatory requirements for ADS and ADAS systems – from initial gap analysis through to type approval.
