MPA University of Stuttgart is a materials testing and research institute focused on the material, component and structural performance questions that are highly relevant to VehicleTech Week. Its expertise covers materials testing, material characterisation, non-destructive testing, metallography, fracture mechanics, fatigue, durability, corrosion, coatings, ageing behaviour and component-oriented testing under realistic loading conditions. For automotive exhibitors and visitors, MPA is therefore not positioned as a general mobility or vehicle technology provider, but as a specialist partner for validating materials, components and manufacturing-related choices. MPA can support discussions with OEMs, suppliers and R&D engineers on lightweight materials, metallic materials, joining technologies, additive manufacturing, coatings, failure analysis, lifetime assessment and quality assurance. Its contribution to the exhibition is the ability to connect industrial testing needs with scientifically grounded methods, accredited testing capabilities and application-oriented engineering assessment for safer, more reliable and better validated automotive components during product development cycles and validation projects phase.
