Function Test Services
Every vehicle system has to perform reliably, consistently and safely, from the day it leaves the factory through years of everyday use. At Dubai Mobility Lab, developed in partnership with RTA, DEKRA offers function testing that helps manufacturers, suppliers, importers and fleet operators verify quality, compare performance and validate new developments. With extreme summer heat, intense sunlight and demanding driving conditions, Dubai is one of the most challenging and realistic places in the world to test a vehicle. Our experienced engineers turn that environment into objective, actionable data.
Quality Testing
Structured testing to confirm that your vehicles and components meet defined quality standards before they reach customers.
Consistent quality builds customer trust and protects your brand. Our quality testing checks vehicle functions, systems and components against your specifications and requirements. Typical areas include powertrain behaviour, braking, steering, comfort systems, electrical functions and infotainment. Clearly documented test procedures and results help you detect deviations early, reduce warranty risks and confirm readiness for market launch or regional introduction.
Benchmarking
Objective, side-by-side comparison of your vehicle against competitors to show exactly where you lead and where you can improve.
Understanding how your product performs against the market is essential for making the right development and positioning decisions. We benchmark vehicles and systems under identical, controlled conditions, so the comparisons are fair and repeatable. Areas include driving dynamics, ADAS performance, energy and fuel efficiency, climate control and overall user experience. The result is neutral, data-driven insight that supports product strategy, engineering targets and marketing claims.
Development Based Testing
Flexible test support throughout your development cycle, from early prototypes to final validation.
Development programmes need a test partner who can adapt as requirements evolve. We work alongside your engineering teams to plan and run test campaigns that fit each development stage. This includes prototype evaluation, software and calibration verification, and iterative testing after design changes. Our engineers provide fast feedback and detailed measurement data, helping you resolve issues earlier, shorten development time and move confidently towards production.
Hot Weather Testing
Real-world validation in one of the hottest climates on earth, showing how your vehicle performs when temperatures soar.
Summer temperatures in Dubai regularly exceed 45°C, combined with intense solar radiation and dust. This makes the region an ideal natural setting for hot weather testing. We assess how vehicles and systems cope with extreme heat, including air conditioning performance, engine and battery thermal management, charging behaviour, electronics, sensors and materials. Testing in genuine conditions shows issues that simulation and laboratory testing alone may miss, ensuring your vehicle is ready for hot climates worldwide.
Durability Testing
Accelerated testing that shows how your vehicle and its components hold up over time and under sustained stress.
Long-term reliability is one of the most important factors for customers and fleet operators alike. Our durability testing puts vehicles and components through demanding, repeatable cycles that replicate extended real-world use in a shorter time. Combined with the region’s heat and dust, this exposes wear, fatigue and degradation early. Detailed monitoring and inspection results help you strengthen designs, validate service intervals and demonstrate long-term reliability.
Partner with DEKRA to drive the future of mobility with confidence and innovation. Together, we can shape a safer, more connected, and autonomous future.
