As VDL ETS, we fully support innovative and sustainable solutions for both static and dynamic applications. Our rich experience in the field of vehicle, vessel and mechanical engineering enables us to effectively combine today's energy transition with our automotive expertise. This has led to our focus on off-grid solutions - perfect for understanding, serving and improving the overall ecosystem.
Quality through Experience and Innovation
Our formula for success is the result of a unique balance between our rich history and a constant curiosity for innovations. We believe that ‘Heritage of Tomorrow’ equals ‘Innovation of Today’. A great example of this is our use of modular building blocks, which allow us to implement innovative technology without major design uncertainty.
Product Lifecycle Management
VDL ETS uses a Windchill Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) server as the leading tool for all engineering processes. This allows us to store our data in a centralized and secure environment which adheres to all ABDO requirements for defence projects. Together with our internal system administrators, the system can be flexibly configured to suit all projects. This ensures an efficient way of working with the latest released data for all departments in the company and our clients.
Discover the power of innovation and collaboration with our team and be part of the future of sustainable technology!
Thanks to the strength of the VDL Groep, we have access to the world's leading suppliers and partners. Together, we know what quality means, speak the language of development and guarantee long-term solutions. This unique advantage is especially valuable for small-scale productions. We call this approach 'Fast and Lean Engineering' with OEM Automotive DNA.
To arrive at a design quickly and in a structured way, a multidisciplinary team is essential. A VDL ETS engineer is not only responsible for one aspect, but is involved in the entire development process. From the concept phase to transfer, to protobuilding and even to the customer; the experience at each stage contributes to a valuable skillset and promotes cooperation within the team.
Whether for small or large series, we have a standardised approach where we generate and manage on premise Creo data in Windchill. Of course, we also offer the flexibility to work with our customers' systems.
