About us
Helping the automotive industry move forward.
At Vehicle Testing Solutions (VTS), we help engineering teams get vehicles ready for the road by solving electrical and systems challenges before they become production problems.
Founded in 2009, VTS was built by engineers who’ve lived the realities of prototype testing — the late nights, the tight deadlines, and the constant pressure to deliver. That’s why we focus on practical, hands-on solutions that keep projects moving.
From early prototypes and first-time architecture prove outs to final validation builds, we support OEMs and suppliers at every stage of development. Whether that means designing a bespoke test harness overnight, integrating new ECUs, or providing on-site system validation, our goal is simple: help your team find issues before your customers do.
With over two decades of experience, we’ve earned our place as a trusted award-winning Tier 1 supplier and proud SMMT member. Our team is known for being adaptable, reliable, and genuinely committed to getting the job done right.
Because in this industry, progress depends on precision. And at VTS, we make sure every test case counts.
More than testing. Real solutions. Real results.
