VTT - Virtual Tire Technologies

Bridging physical tire testing and virtual simulation.

VTT is a technology spin-off of Fraunhofer ITWM, commercializing CDTire — a state-of-the-art tire modeling technology built on more than 15 years of research. Our software enables highly realistic, real-time virtual tire development, helping automotive and tire manufacturers reduce physical testing, prototype costs, and development time.

CDTire — Scalable Tire Model Family

CDTire bridges the gap between tire and car manufacturers, serving as an exchange format between both industries. It enables virtual test drives in vehicle simulators, replacing costly real-world test drives and expensive prototype tires during development.

Scalable Performance

Use one model family from real-time simulators to detailed structural runs.

3D Road Interaction

Capture realistic contact behavior on measured roads and rig surfaces.

Practical Integration

Integrate with major MBS environments and established vehicle workflows.
