Research
The heart of technological innovation is the research. The collaboration of the ADR group company study centres with famed international university institutes and with the most qualified vehicle manufacturers, from the starting stages of a new project, means being able to define product characteristics and functions based on customer expectations and growing together. Experience and competence are at the service of innovation and safety. Developing new products and improving production are only possible through ongoing experimentation with new technical solutions and simulating the most critical service conditions. The ADR test centre, an integral part of the Uboldo plant, is the only one in Europe able to submit axles to a full test. The ADR roller test bench is the heart of the laboratory and can test axles of up to 15 tons, at a speed of 100 km/h, thanks to its 500 kW power.
And then… the final step: the specialist field with lab vehicles designed in ADR combined with the collaboration of main manufacturers.
Homologation
ADR braking axles are homologated to European Community directive standards. The technical characteristics of ADR products are recognised in all Community area Countries and in those connected to them. Having homologated axles means that manufacturers can safely define vehicle characteristics from very early project stages and create a product in line with the standards in force in industrialised countries: Thus the double goal of standardising your product and widening your commercial horizons is met. The ADR customer also knows that it can count on an expert, prepared partner in both the design stage and during field testing. Along with conformity to Community directives, ADR products are also approved by local standards: for example, by TUV in the German Federal Republic and by CEMAGREF and UTAC in France.
Environment
ADR end Colaert means long-lasting quality, robustness, reliability and that’s not all. For some time now, the ADR-Colaert name has been strongly linked to the most innovative and advanced technologies for manufacturing whilst respecting the environment.
An important example is the advanced varnishing plant that has been introduced to the ADR and Colaert premises. The varnish used is only water-based, thus cancelling the atmospheric polluting effect completely while safeguarding workers’ health as they no longer have to breathe toxic fumes from solvent-based varnish. However, these improvements have not harmed quality, on the contrary, the varnish lasts longer and resists the most hostile atmospheric agents.
