December 6, 2023, was a special day for the team at the Aldenhoven Testing Center - especially for our customers, the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) at RWTH Aachen University: an e-truck prototype completed its first test drives powered by hydrogen on our test site. This marked a milestone in the "SeLv" electric truck research project.

Today is already December 1. Even with the Christmas spirit rising, we are already planning with joy for spring – the AutoFrühling Aldenhoven.

Hand on heart, how many St. Martin's processions, have you and your children been to this week? Like it is common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and my other countries. Or do you accompany them yourself as a firefighter or police officer? Thank you for that!

At our Aldenhoven Testing Center, twelve tracks provide excellent conditions for research, development and validation of individual systems and complete vehicles. They include classic elements such as an oval track, a handling course and a vehicle dynamics area's surface.
