Automotive Safety Testing & Validation
Encocam has extensive experience in the automotive safety industry, specialising in deformable aluminium crash test barriers, anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), energy absorption, and impact mitigation.
Encocam’s Cellbond division delivers advanced automotive engineering solutions that support vehicle safety, lightweight design, and regulatory compliance across global markets. With decades of specialist expertise, we work with vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, proving grounds, test facilities, safety laboratories, and regulatory bodies including Euro NCAP, IIHS, and NHTSA, to enhance global occupant protection, structural performance, and energy absorption in modern vehicles.
Automotive Safety Testing & Validation
Cellbond is internationally recognised as a leading manufacturer of Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs). Commonly known as crash test dummies, our devices are used in vehicle crash testing and safety validation programmes worldwide. Our ATDs are engineered for precision, durability, and repeatability, supporting compliance with international safety standards and consumer testing protocols.
In addition, Cellbond is the global market leader in the design, development and and manufacture of deformable aluminium crash test barriers for use in controlled vehicle impact testing. These barriers play a critical role in evaluating structural integrity, energy absorption, and occupant protection systems of vehicles during frontal, side, and offset crash scenarios.
Through continuous innovation and strict quality control, Encocam’s Cellbond team supports accurate, repeatable automotive safety testing that enables vehicle, seat belt, and child seat manufacturers to meet evolving global safety regulations, making roads safer for vehicle occupants and pedestrians every day.
Lightweight Automotive Structures
Lightweighting is central to improving vehicle efficiency, performance, and emissions reduction. Encocam manufactures high-performance aluminium honeycomb core and aluminium composite panels that provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratios for structural and non-structural automotive applications.
Our lightweight materials contribute to:
- Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions
- Enhanced electric vehicle (EV) range
- Increased structural stiffness and crash performance
- Optimised vehicle mass distribution
These solutions are used across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, electric vehicles, motorsport, and specialist transport applications.
Impact Absorption & Energy Management
Encocam engineers advanced impact absorption systems designed to manage kinetic energy during collisions. By combining materials science expertise with real-world crash performance data, we develop solutions that enhance occupant safety while supporting vehicle design optimisation.
Engineering Analysis & Simulation
Our in-house Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modelling and simulation capabilities enable predictive performance validation during the product development process. By integrating computational modelling with physical testing, we support manufacturers in reducing development cycles, improving safety performance, and accelerating time to market.
Encocam combines manufacturing excellence, materials engineering expertise, and deep automotive sector knowledge to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for the next generation of safe and lightweight vehicles.
