Discover how each stage of design, development & production of a Jaguar goes through thousands of tests and checks for safety, durability & quality.
CAE can simulate every scenario that a vehicle’s chassis and suspension are likely to go through during their life – including virtual crash tests, and extreme everyday scenarios such as object strikes, kerb impacts and pothole braking. A vehicle’s aerodynamic profile can be honed in a virtual CFD wind tunnel to minimise drag for better fuel economy and lower emissions, as well as improved engine and brake cooling, and more efficient in-car ventilation and climate control.
Virtual analysis lets vehicles be comprehensively tested and optimised early in the design and development process, without the delays and expense of manufacturing and re-manufacturing physical real-world parts. It also helps reduce the environmental impact of car production, typically saving 1.2 million kilometres of test-driving and 290 tonnes of CO2 during production of a Jaguar.
