Next-generation driving simulator developed through collaboration between McLaren Applied Technologies and MTS.
The MTS Vehicle Dynamic Simulator (VDS) is a next-generation driving simulator designed by McLaren Applied Technologies. This innovative tool provides automotive manufacturers, related suppliers, and motorsport teams with a new form of vehicle development. VDS emerged from innovations in Formula One development, vehicle modeling, and simulation technology. VDS adopts a "Driver-In-the-Loop" approach, enabling engineers to subjectively evaluate components and vehicle performance before the completion of physical prototypes. VDS allows test drivers to conduct highly realistic driving tests in a low-latency environment, combining McLaren's proven high-performance electric motion platform with control algorithms integrated with rFpro graphics.

Company information
MTS Japan, Inc. is the Japanese subsidiary of the American engineering company MTS Systems Corporation, which specializes in various testing equipment. For over 40 years, we have provided engineering consulting services to users in Japan, delivering earthquake simulation systems, automotive durability testing systems, aircraft fatigue testing equipment, and various material testing devices to public institutions, universities, and private companies in our country. All of these systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of their operations and are indispensable when it comes to "manufacturing" products. MTS Japan, Inc. was established in June 1972 with a 50% investment from MTS Systems Corporation. In May 1975, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and in 1981, we established the Nagoya branch (now the West Japan branch) to strengthen our sales and support system, which continues to this day. Through collaboration with MTS, we achieve optimization of design, improvement of productivity, and reduction of time to market for our customers' products.
