How do you conduct road testing in the European market?

How do you hire a local test fleet?

How do you manage drivers?

How do you manage test cases?

How do you collect test data?

What regulatory requirements apply to data collection?

How can road test data reach the R&D team by the shortest possible route?

After a software version upgrade, how do you quickly run regression tests?

As Chinese cars accelerate toward Europe, these are challenges no one can avoid.

Recently, Yuntech Technology (ytdevops.com), a leading Chinese provider of digital R&D management solutions, and teamware (teamware.de), a German automotive digitalization service provider, officially established a strategic partnership. Combining their respective product and service strengths, they jointly provide answers to all of the above questions.

teamware: A Validation Expert with 15 Years in Europe, Serving Audi, Volkswagen and BMW

teamware has over 15 years of experience in automotive digitalization and process optimization, and has long served European mainstream OEMs including Audi, VW, MAN, Bentley, BMW, and Lamborghini. Its intelligent validation platform IVA (Intelligent Validation Assistant) has been successfully applied in real vehicle testing at multiple European OEMs for years.

For Chinese automakers planning to enter the European market, teamware provides a complete "localized validation + market entry" service:

Overseas local test fleet and road test management: Based on the IVA platform, organizes structured fleet testing (Flottenerprobung) covering multiple European markets, climates, and road conditions, and validates pre-production vehicles with real European users in the pre-mass-production phase to identify issues as early as possible;

Real human factors data, efficiently processed by AI: IVA is a "Human Intelligence" platform — insights come from real European professional test drivers and everyday users, not simulated data; AI automatically converts test-drive feedback into structured, classifiable issue lists through speech-to-text, improving testing efficiency by up to 25%;

Local test data and regulatory compliance: Provides EU type approval and compliance guidance, helping automakers clearly understand market access requirements before vehicle launch and reducing surprises and delays later on;

European testing resources and benchmarking capability: Access to experienced European test drivers and proving grounds, plus data-driven benchmarking against European competitor models within the same IVA framework, without building local infrastructure from scratch.

These capabilities mean: before entering the European market, Chinese automakers can validate their products against European standards — precisely the critical factor in the success or failure of going global.

Product Interconnection: Road Test Data × ALM R&D Data Form a Complete Closed Loop

This partnership goes beyond the market level, extending to product integration and interoperability in concrete automotive business scenarios:

MappingSpace ALM under Yuntech Technology is a leading domestic R&D full-lifecycle management platform, covering core scenarios including requirements management, development, testing, traceability, and ASPICE compliance;

teamware's IVA platform focuses on the planning, execution, and data analysis of real vehicle road testing.

Once the two products are integrated, the following will be achieved before new vehicles launch:

Every issue found during road testing is automatically synchronized to the ALM platform, forming assignable, traceable defect and requirement items;

Software iterations and requirement changes on the R&D side can be quickly adjusted based on the latest road test feedback — fast enough to make it into the "next software update" rather than the "next vehicle generation";

The end-to-end traceability chain from requirements to road test validation is fully visible, providing solid data support for ASPICE and functional safety audits.

ROI: Direct Value Delivered to Customers

Whether for European or Chinese automakers, the integration of road test service data and ALM R&D data delivers quantifiable returns:

Lower rework costs: Issues are discovered and closed-loop managed before mass production, with fix costs far lower than post-launch recalls or model changes;

Shorter validation cycles: Say goodbye to fragmented spreadsheets and manual consolidation — AI-driven structured analysis automatically converts thousands of road test feedback items into executable reports;

Faster software iteration: For software-defined vehicle (SDV) features, market feedback can directly drive the next iteration version;

One platform, one partner: From R&D process management to European localized testing and regulatory compliance, customers receive an integrated solution covering the entire journey.

Win-Win Cooperation, a Two-Way Commitment

Yuntech Technology's deep expertise in automotive R&D digitalization and teamware's years of validated customer success in the European market form a natural complement. We believe this partnership will bring unique value to automakers in both China and Europe:

For Chinese automakers: What goes global is not just the product, but also an R&D and validation system that meets European standards;

For European automakers: Access to more efficient, more agile R&D management and road testing closed-loop capabilities aligned with the intelligent vehicle trend.
