We test and evaluate individual vehicles

at our three proving grounds.

Comprehensive evaluation of the features

and performance expected of an automobile.

In 1970, Aisin Seiki became one of the world’

s first automotive parts manufacturers to construct its own
comprehensive proving ground equipped with test tracks. With state-of-the-art facilities and test courses
recreating road conditions of all types, we have continued demonstrating and heightening safety and
durability performance. We have performed tests from every conceivable angle, adopting the viewpoints of
users, and promptly incorporated the evaluation results back into product development.
As demand for product reliability grows, Aisin Seiki is there every step of the way.
