The design and development of vehicle components is just as much an aspect of product development in the automotive sector as it is in other areas of mobility. This involves designing individual parts and assemblies of a vehicle that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This process includes selecting appropriate materials, designing with safety and performance standards in mind, using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, and performing simulations and tests to ensure functionality.

Vehicle component development can cover a variety of areas, including body, powertrain systems, chassis, electronics, interior design and more. The goal is to create components that are durable, safe, efficient and user-friendly.
