Positioning ourselves in the region known as the “Golden Triangle,” encompassing Istanbul, Bursa, and Sakarya – the hub of Türkiye’s automotive industry, which shoulders the nation’s production power – is not merely a strategic choice; it is a visionary one. At the heart of this strategic location, Safety Dynamics stands out as one of the pioneering test centers focused on sled tests.
Why is the Golden Triangle Important?
Kocaeli is the epicenter of an ecosystem that unites the production lines, R&D centers, and logistics networks of automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and Tier 1 supplier giants, as well as defense and aviation companies. This geographical advantage necessitates the on-site and rapid execution of test processes. Safety Dynamics was established precisely to meet this need.
Expertise in Sled Tests
Sled tests enable the evaluation of systems directly affecting passengers inside the vehicle through crash simulations. As Safety Dynamics, we can perform sled tests with our Messring CIS Compact Impact Sled system at forces up to 80g and with payloads up to 1.5 tons.
