MG Motor U.K. has completed an expansion project at its electrical component testing facility in the U.K. Alongside adding a third vehicle skeleton to increase pre-production testing capabilities, new lighting, cabling, and display screens have been installed to further improve operational efficiencies.
Used for the development and validation of prototype technologies, the electronic component testing facility is based at MG's U.K. Motor Technical Centre (SMTC) in Longbridge, Birmingham. With 22 team members and state-of-the-art testing equipment, the facilities are used to develop in-car electronics for all models manufactured by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited - the parent company of MG.
The investment will allow MG's team of highly-skilled electrical engineers to bring new components to market and support the development of innovative technologies for the vehicles of tomorrow.
SMTC is responsible for key phases of the engineering, research, design, and development programmes for all new MG products worldwide.
