Delve deeper into DEKRAs history
On February 23, 1895, Södra Sveriges Ångpanneförening was formed, the first of its kind. The intention was to prevent accidents through recurring inspections. 30 years later, the Deutcher Kraftfahrzeugs-überwachungs verein (abbreviated DEKRA) is formed in Berlin, Germany. In this case too, the intention was to prevent accidents, but here it was about lorries running off the road and precious cargo being wasted and not about exploding steam boilers.
