Dear Readers,
Innovation in the automotive industry has witnessed
a resurgence in recent years, responding to growing
concerns over climate change and the integration of
smart technologies. As more of the world embraces
disruption in this sector, the focus on safety
and quality standards will become increasingly
paramount. This issue delves into the intricacies of
what it takes to make this new age of mobility viable
and compliant with the highest of standards set by
automotive regulatory bodies around the world.
As new frontiers of innovation like driverless
technology gain traction, its unaddressed safety
issues are no doubt a cause for concern. Some
automakers like Toyota have taken a more
progressive view, requiring artificial intelligence
(AI) to take control only when a safety necessity
calls for it.1 The automaker giant plans to inject
$1 billion into its new Toyota Research Institute over
the next five years to spearhead AI breakthroughs
that will help drivers anticipate and evade potential
danger.
Additionally, we are also pleased to announce the
launch of TÜV Rheinland’s tire testing laboratory in
Indonesia, a strategic regional base set up to cope
with the exponential growth of transportation needs
in Southeast Asia.
We also discuss regulatory updates, and how we
are supporting manufacturers’ efforts in ensuring
sustainability for the environment. Auditing
challenges are placed under the spotlight,
particularly in helping clients find solutions to
properly comply with the standards being tested.
Progress that has been made in the present testing
circles of green and connected technologies will
serve as a stepping stone to meet the future demands
of more complex smart testing.
We wish you an enjoyable and informative read.

and industries. Strong demand
for eco-friendly cars has led to the
development of hybrid cars, electric
vehicles (EV) and fuel-cell-powered
vehicles.
The introduction of new technolo-
gies such as autonomous driving and
wireless technology is leading the
automobile industry into a new era.
Potentiality of EVs
EVs are the most represented next-
generation vehicles. However, less
than 1% of cars sold worldwide are
passenger EVs. The retail price of
EVs must drop for them to become
popular.
Low cost lithium-ion batteries will
help lower EV prices and accelerate
wider adoption. Increasing the
energy density to five times above
current levels is feasible, but denser,
more dangerous batteries will
make safety evaluations even more
important.

Asian EV markets
Amongst the Asian countries, EV
sales in Japan stood out. However,
the shortage of fast-charging
stations on highways has resulted
in long waiting lines, limiting EV
use mostly to commuters.
Southeast Asian countries have
also begun to introduce EVs. To
encourage the market to increase
safety and environment-friendly
vehicles, the Thai government has
introduced Eco-car policy and CO2
based tax system which incentivize
the purchase of EVs.

What does an EV futurelook like?
It is said that autonomous driving
systems could be a reality by 2025.
Toyota has announced its plan to
install automatic brakes in almost
all its vehicles by the end of 2017,
and an automatic brake system
has already been installed in
almost half of its existing models.
The advancement of ‘connected

12 Going Green, Going Safe
An increasingly competitive
automotive industry requires
constant alteration and an emerging
key trend is eco-friendliness coupled
with advanced safety.
Going Green, Going Safe
The automotive industry is facing
huge challenges, some of which are:
§ additional safety features require
additional weight and energy
resources,
§ additional weight on fuel
efficiency, and,
§ lightweight material (Al, Mg,
Carbon composite etc) costs more
and in turn reduces demand for
these vehicles.
Automotive brands and
manufacturers have made
significant improvements in this
regard by developing highly-
efficient drivetrains, alternative
power sources, as well as lighter, but
stronger construction materials. For
instance, there is an uptake in the
use of fully electric and fuel-electric
hybrid drivetrains, combined with
fast-charging battery technologies,
which allay range anxiety among
users of plug-in electric vehicles
(EVs) and hybrids.
The increased dependence
on technology for safety and
performance comes with potential
risks. For example, the high energy
density of batteries used in EVs can
sometimes lead to fire or explosions
when damaged in a crash, or if they
overheat while charging. The risk for
post-crash chemical reaction due to
cell damage may result in explosion
even weeks after the accident (crash).
Testing for Electrical Systems
Automotive manufacturers need
to fully understand how varying
operating conditions limit the
life and usage cycle of battery
systems through extensive testing
and modeling, and developing
sophisticated algorithms to track
and predict various parameters,
including state of battery charge
and health, among others.
To ensure quality, TÜV Rheinland
provides type testing and
certification for vehicles and

Testing for Environmental
Impact
The tire’s rolling resistance
can significantly affect carbon
emissions; the lower the rolling
resistance, the lower the friction
levels between the tire and the road
surface. However, this also needs to
be balanced with an adequate level
of friction while braking to ensure
enough stopping power depending
on the weight of the vehicle.
At TÜV Rheinland, we have
experts who will test tire safety,
as well as potential emissions of
substances that may be harmful
to humans and the environment.
We help vehicle and component
manufacturers with our testing
and certification services for
electric vehicles, batteries and
components to ensure top quality
and compliance with standards.

18 Enabling Clients to Meet the Mark
Enabling Clients to Meet the Mark
Tire SNI Approval (Indonesian National Standard) for Indonesian Market
The tire industry in Indonesia is bound by SNI
Regulation numbers 0098:2012, 0099:2012, 0100:2012,
0101:2012 and 6700:2012. Decree 03/BIM/PER/01/2014
from the Ministry of the Industry Republic of Indonesia
stipulates that local or imported tires must have an SNI
certificate for each tire category. The auditing process
for tires includes the checking of client compliance
with the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System,
validation of product and manufacturing process
knowledge, and sampling for testing in the tire
laboratory facility. Various testing includes marking
check, dimension verification, bead unseating test,
breaking energy test, high speed and endurance test.
Auditing Challenges
The most common challenges encountered with this
type of audit are markings which do not comply with
the relevant regulation and inconsistencies in following
the quality control plan. To avoid these problems, the
client should understand the regulation, in particular the
marking requirements, and regularly update the quality
control plan according to the actual process.
Long-term Solutions
On one occasion during a tire surveillance audit,
the client informed the auditor that the tire product
did not pass the test according to SNI standards. In
order to provide proper assistance to the client, the
auditor conducted a root cause analysis and proposed
corrective actions to fully address the finding. The
client has reported that since then, they have never had
the same problem and the tires continue to meet the
standards requirements.
CoC for Vehicle Imports in Thailand
Since the beginning of 2016, the implementation of the
CO2 Reduction – New Excise Tax and Eco-Sticker scheme
has subjected vehicles sold in Thailand to an excise tax
based on CO2 emissions, E85-gasohol compatibility and
fuel efficiency rather than engine size. This requires all
manufacturers and importers of passenger vehicles to
display an eco-sticker on the windscreens of all new cars
so that buyers are aware of the CO2 rating, emissions,
safety and fuel economy figures.
Mandatory Requirements
The CO2 reduction audit ensures that the inspected
vehicle matches the Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
issued by the manufacturer or WVTA approval, as well
as the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions standards.
It is applicable to non-authorized importers. The audit
checks that the VIN, engine number, tire size and
exhaust emission systems are correct, and includes
vehicle inspection, CoC verification, and CoC issuing.
Auditing Challenges
At times the customer does not have facilities such
as good lighting or a car lifter. In such cases, it is
very difficult to take the necessary photos. Thus, it is
suggested that clients prepare the equipment necessary
to ensure a seamless audit process.
TÜV Rheinland auditors are trained to always give value
to each audit, provide long-term solutions to client
problems, and ensure proper compliance with the
requirements of the standards being tested.
