Development company
A vehicle development company is a company or a corporate division whose business purpose is to develop vehicles or their components . A permit is not required for this. For commercial purposes, however, numerous certificates make sense (e.g. ISO9001) without which it is difficult to work with other companies and to market the products. For individual activities that are carried out during the development work, official approval or supervision may be necessary, e.g. B. when it comes to dangerous tests or the handling of dangerous substances. The planning for this and the procurement of the necessary permits are initiated in advance by the development manager and are ultimately responsible.
