For the development of vehicle occupant protection systems for vehicles and similar applications, Continental has a servo-hydraulic, controlled sled system that is also used to perform tests as part of services.
Typical uses of the sled system include development and testing of frontal, side, and head airbags, vehicle and child-aerospace seats, belt systems, and other interior parts.
The system is also used to test components such as high-voltage batteries, locks, hinges, and fastenings to secure loads under real-life conditions.
