Decades of expertise in bringing electric vehicles to life.
The landscape in the electric vehicle marketplace is exhilarating, challenging, and crowded. Technology companies are rapidly developing incredibly innovative EV architecture, software and sensing technology, but commercializing their product requires Roush’s expertise in integrating those technologies, packaging them into a vehicle, and understanding what’s required to validate and certify that vehicle to government standards. Roush takes those core competencies and complements them with every aspect of development – including design for manufacturing and a very deep familiarity with the supply chain. The thing that truly sets Roush apart is that we possess those capabilities under one virtual roof. For our customers, that equates to speed – a critical factor when success is defined by being the first to get a viable product to market or in front of funding sources.
Zoox’s challenge was undertaking vehicle durability testing for a very unconventional autonomous vehicle. The solution: Roush’s tightly aligned, holistic solution for vehicle durability, with data collection, data analysis, and durability testing provided critical test data with speed and efficiency. The best part of working with Roush: Their technical strength, the fact that they weren’t fazed by the aggressive deadlines that we provided, and their team is very easy to get along with.

Testing
Testing is a critical phase in electric vehicle development, providing both manufacturers and consumers the confidence that the products being created will perform reliably, dependably, predictably and safely. Roush supports electrical vehicle development with a comprehensive suite of testing, verification and certification services. Our on-road vehicle testing provides invaluable performance data. Roush’s Advanced Durability Lab is working closely with the most innovative mobility manufacturers to help make sure their products can withstand the grueling demands of the most congested dynamic urban areas to the damage of traversing the roughest roads. These rigorous physical tests are complemented by advanced CAE techniques to validate FEA models, which greatly reduces the cost of product development.
