100% INTEGRATED MANUFACTURE

Our 4.0 equipments and a network of local qualified subcontractors, allow prototypes to be produced directly in our factory within very short deadlines.

QUALIFICATION, TEST
& CERTIFICATIONS

• Qualification of raw materials (cells, electronic cards ...)
• Systematic control at each stage of the project until final control
• CE marking on all batteries
• Approval of batteries carried out by approved official laboratories (Standards UN38.3, IEC62133-2, IEC60086-4)

RISK ANALYSIS

VLAD guarantees the quality of its batteries and the smooth running of the project. Analyzes of technical, financial & deadlines risks are systematically carried out during each stage of product realization until transfer to production.
