Program Overview
This intensive program enables automotive professionals to decode the complex landscape of vehicle homologation and type approval processes across India, Europe, and key global markets. Through conceptual understanding, real-life global examples, situational problem-solving, and simulation-based exercises, participants will gain the tools and insights needed to align product development with regulatory expectations. The program addresses mandatory certifications (CMVR, AIS, UN ECE, GTR), approval bodies (ARAI, ICAT, TUV), documentation, timelines, and emerging norms such as RDE, WLTP, and e-mobility homologation. It is designed to help organizations reduce approval delays, enhance compliance efficiency, and ensure global market readiness.
