“The investment in the iQ Research Center of Excellence underscores the Q’Straint commitment to advancements in research and development,” said Bob Joseph, vice president of business development. “Our new crash simulation system allows us to now study, test, certify and bring new products to market quicker than ever before, thereby improving safety for everyone while at the same time reinforcing our position as a global technology leader within the industry.”

The iQ Research Center of Excellence and crash simulation system are located in Q’Straint’s Whitstable, U.K., location. According to the company, currently only a limited number of HYGE dynamic crash simulation systems exist in the world.
