Development and testing

Research and development have always played a crucial role at AL-KO. After all, this is the only way all our products can meet even the highest of standards. In close coordination and collaboration with the state-of-the-art testing department, our engineers at the AL-KO technology centre push individual components, assemblies or even finished products to the limit every day. Furthermore, tough practical tests are carried out on a regular basis on various test tracks. This ensures that all products first undergo intensive and comprehensive testing before being put onto the market. Moreover, we also offer our competence and high-end infrastructure for the performance of independent vehicle tests. Our state-of-the-art testing facilities are now used by numerous external clients for pendulum tests, wheel fit tests, operational stability tests, performance tests and also for entirely customised special tests.

The scope of technical development includes application engineering. This includes construction and design of caravan chassis, product variant creation, installation space analysis, low-loaders + high-loaders, as well as attachment/body advice. The aftersales division provides technical advice on retrofitting the extensive range of accessories including suspension components as well as AL-KO product range homologation consultations. Additional services such as brake calculations, type approvals and the provision of technical support to sales, service and product management are managed by Aftersales.
