VLT - Increased automation strengthens VLT’s competitiveness

Brake testing equipment, emission analysers and hydraulic pit jacks are three examples of products that have made VLT an industry leader. Now the company is looking to the future with technical expertise, flexibility and an entrepreneurial spirit.

The company VL Test Group – better known as VLT – was founded in 1958 with a clear vision: to improve safety in the mobility sector. VLT currently develops, produces and provides innovative and reliable testing and inspection solutions for passenger cars, trailers/caravans, commercial vehicles, semi-trailers and dump trucks.

Faster for customers

VLT continually develops solutions to quickly meet new requirements in a changing market, which is impacted by both legislation and technical advancements. VLT, for example, is one of the few companies that can deliver fully integrated vehicle test lanes, which are largely computer-controlled and have a vehicle tracking system. This results in a capacity of 20 to 25 or even more vehicles per test track per hour, requiring only half the number of inspectors as previously needed. VLT’s customers report that they can therefore work up to 50% faster using the company’s test lanes.

VLT in Lagercrantz Group

Since Lagercrantz acquired the company, VLT has scaled up the business, developed its product offerings and explored new markets. The support from Lagercrantz has been crucial to our success, offering everything from strategic guidance and operational expertise to access to a broader network and investments in innovation,” says MD Marcel van den Berk.
