Reliability evaluations

We test and evaluate individual vehicles at our three proving grounds.

Comprehensive evaluation of the features and performance expected of an automobile. In 1970, Aisin Seiki became one of the world’ s first automotive parts manufacturers to construct its own comprehensive proving ground equipped with test tracks. With state-of-the-art facilities and test courses recreating road conditions of all types, we have continued demonstrating and heightening performance and durability. We have performed tests from every conceivable angle, adopting the viewpoints of users, and promptly incorporated the evaluation results back into product development. As demand for product reliability grows, Aisin Seiki is there every step of the way. Operating sound and abnormal sound evaluation in anechoic chamber for vehicles

Aisin has three comprehensive test facilities, the Fujioka Proving Ground with low-temperature and high-temperature chambers, anechoic chamber, engine test benches and a range of other facilities for comprehensive evaluation of multi-purpose vehicles; the Toyokoro Proving Ground, with a full range of test tracks including simulated icy surfaces and various road conditions from around the world; and the Fowlerville Proving Ground, the first proving ground established in North America by a Japanese auto parts manufacturer.
