The exhibition
Cansinga showcases new-generation deformable barriers
Shenzhen Cansinga Technology is in Stuttgart to show its new-generation deformable barriers, particularly the C‑NCAP SC‑MPDB (2027) and C‑IASI AC‑MPDB (2026), alongside barriers compliant with Euro NCAP AE‑MDB, MPDB, FWDB and ECE/FMVSS. Features include aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb, precise force‑deflection response and variable stiffness. “At Cansinga, we are proud to bring China‑developed SC‑MPDB and AC‑MPDB as well as a real MPDB barrier face to Stuttgart,” said Ray Guo, overseas business manager. “Our deformable barriers are more than test tools – they are safety benchmarks. We look forward to meeting global crash safety experts and advancing real‑world protection together.”

WKS Informatik highlights fully automated test system for LV124 and LV148 validation
WKS Informatik is showcasing RTStand, a fully automated platform for LV124 and LV148 validation, now extended with a prototype supporting 10G Ethernet and GMSL2 within the same environment. The system enables automated electrical test sequences with modular hardware scaling from single ECUs to multi-rack labs, delivering a unified workflow across camera, sensor and display tests. We’re at Stuttgart because this is where automotive validation teams come together,” said WKS CEO Ronald Kaempf. “We’re demonstrating how to run LV124, LV148 and high-speed link tests at full cycle count, without shortcuts.”

Innovation Showcase
Day 2 of the Innovation Showcase hosted a hands-on workshop from b-plus (360° test drive view – no gaps left anymore – real-world data meets virtual drives) this morning, and MOVEdot (AI agents in automotive testing) this afternoon.
Highlights from this morning’s presentations included ‘Driving innovation: Mastering multidomain integration in SDVs’ from ETAS and Bosch, and ‘Implicit testing: Rethinking embedded software validation with SIL virtualization’ from AGSOTEC and BMW.
ATTI Forum
Visitors to the ATTI Forum have been exploring the latest in intelligent test technologies, virtualization and scalable validation, alongside advances in data platforms and analytics for next-generation vehicle development. Presentation and panel highlights included ‘Euro 7 readiness’ by Johnson Matthey, AVL and Green NCAP, and ‘AI-driven testing transformation’ by ATTI editor Rachel Evans and HOPn this morning. This afternoon, DEKRA, CTAG and IABG covered SOTIF, functional safety and cybersecurity; Ford, Nissan and Euro NCAP talked about Euro NCAP 2026; and VWCV, Daimler Truck, EPowerLabs and Nissan presented on virtual vs real-world testing.
