  • Centre for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing CASTT Annual Report 2 2009 Has Been CASTT’S Most Successful Year to Date
    The northernmost University of Technology in Scandinavia World-class research and education ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Centre for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing CASTT ANNUAL REPORT 2 2009 has been CASTT’s most SUCCESSFUL YEAR to date CASTT has developed in several ways, perhaps most importantly in that a growing number of interested parties from Sweden, Europe and around the world are now gathering around CASTT and the projects that are being conducted. For example, automotive companies from India are now collaborating with CASTT. The increasing attention that CASTT is receiving in the Gothenburg region is very exciting. This shows that the automobile testing industry’s efforts to become an accepted part of the Swedish auto industry are paying off. I look forward with great anticipation to what the CASTT road map project will deliver. It is my hope that this project will provide a map for the continued development of the automobile testing industry and LTU as a bearer of knowledge within the automobile industry. CASTT is growing project-wise. We are now conducting 12 projects in collaboration with entrepreneurs and automobile companies. On the basis of this strong foundation, I look to the future with great confidence. JERKER DELSING Chair, CASTT management group CASTT ANNUAL REPORT 3 CASTT takes on the challenge Testing is a growing business segment. Greater competition, traffic-safety and environmental concerns are leading to an increased need for testing of both vehicle systems and road systems. Since 2005, CASTT has been working to promote the development of the testing industry. CASTT brings together entrepreneurs, researchers, teachers, engineers and financiers.
