SERVICES

Bus production process audits

We conduct detailed production process audits for city buses and coaches — from assembly quality verification and documentation compliance analysis to final functional inspections.

Our audits include:

  • Quality control of individual production stages
  • Analysis of compliance with technical standards
  • Assembly assessment of electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical systems
  • Verification of technical documentation
  • Recommendations for quality and process improvements

This audits are an integral part of our quality control work for European bus manufacturers.

Technical inspections and handovers at the manufacturer's site

We provide comprehensive pre-delivery inspections (PDI) at the manufacturer’s facility:

  • Vehicle completeness check
  • Equipment verification
