New crash tests in the webshop
More than 60 new crash tests from the DTC and AXA Winterthur are online in the CTS webshop since last week. These crash tests deal especially with the topics of parking lot collisions and load securing. We are very pleased about the new crash tests and hope that they will be of use to you.
WWU research project
The WWU (Westfälische Wilhelms Universität Münster) conducted crash tests with the PRIMUS dummy on the CTS site as part of a research project. In cooperation with the engineering firm Schimmelpfennig + Becke and Accidenta, the motion behavior of dummies and real people was investigated in collisions with low overlap.
Happy holidays!
The team of CTS sincerely thanks you for a good cooperation, for the trust you have placed in us and for the pleasant collaboration. We wish you and your family a merry and blessed Christmas. Have a good new year!
Our office will be closed between christmas and the new year.
Dummies on the way to China
The worldwide demand for the PRIMUS dummy is steadily increasing. In cooperation with our sales partner Kistler, three dummies left the factory for China and Portugal for the first time last week.

Know-how and precision are the key elements in the production of the biofidelic dummy "PRIMUS". The new video "CTS dummy solution: Our brand new PRIMUS-DUMMY" on the CTS-YouTube channel shows how this special dummy is produced in the in-house manufactory.
