For 100 years, DEKRA has been a trusted name in safety. Founded in 1925 with the original goal of improving road safety through vehicle inspections, DEKRA has grown to become the world's largest independent, non-listed expert organization in the field of testing, inspection, and certification. Today, as a global partner, the company supports its customers with comprehensive services and solutions to drive safety and sustainability forward—fully aligned with DEKRA’s anniversary motto, 'Securing the Future.' In 2024, DEKRA generated revenue of 4.3 billion euros. Around 48,000 employees are providing qualified and independent expert services in approximately 60 countries across five continents. DEKRA holds a Platinum rating from EcoVadis, placing it among the top 1% of the world’s most sustainable companies.
As global transport undergoes a historic transition, DEKRA presents a live demonstration of the technologies securing the future of mobility. At this year’s ITF Summit, DEKRA is introducing an innovative battery test designed to determine the state of health of electric vehicle batteries independently of the manufacturer. This advanced procedure integrates two complementary approaches: the analysis of data stored in the vehicle's onboard systems and the execution of a dynamic driving test. During the driving test, the battery's discharge behavior under load is analyzed and compared with a patented model representing the performance of a brand-new battery.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience both methods live and gain firsthand insight into how DEKRA evaluates battery health with precision and transparency.
Complementing this, they will demonstrate the latest advancements in V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) Communication and Digital Infrastructure Safety. The demonstration focuses on the potential of V2X communication (vehicle to everything) for avoiding collisions and save lives. The demonstration show three different use cases in which V2X communication could improve road safety by establishing awareness of a potentially critical situation even before anyone involved could see it: a car and a cyclist both approaching an intersection with another vehicle obstructing the view, a car coming up behind a slow‑riding cyclist, and a car turning into a cyclist’s path.
By creating earlier awareness, V2X can support safer decisions and potentially prevent collisions.
