Advancing Mobility Safely
Mobility is being transformed worldwide.
Automation, connectivity, electrification, and digitalization are reshaping vehicles into complex, interconnected systems and redefining how mobility is developed, approved, and operated. As innovation accelerates across regions and technologies, ensuring safety across entire mobility ecosystems becomes essential for progress.
As automotive technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented speed and vehicles become increasingly electrified, automated, connected, and software-defined, DEKRA ensures that innovation and safety go hand in hand.
Stan Zurkiewicz, CEO DEKRA
Organizations must manage rapid innovation while navigating fragmented regulations and rising accountability. Responsibility increasingly spans the full lifecycle, while expectations from regulators, partners, and society continue to grow. Companies need confidence that innovation and safety advance together. Independent validation, global consistency, and trusted expertise are becoming decisive factors for market access and long-term success.
Advancing safe and trusted mobility worldwide
Building the Future of Mobility on Proven Expertise
DEKRA defines safety and trust for a new era of mobility. For decades, DEKRA has been closely connected to the evolution of mobility systems, building deep expertise in vehicle safety, regulatory compliance, and independent assessment. As mobility becomes increasingly automated, connected, electric, and software-driven, this heritage provides a strong foundation for addressing new and emerging risks.
DEKRA’s roots in mobility safety go back a century. Founded in 1925 to improve road safety through independent vehicle inspection, DEKRA has accompanied the evolution of mobility from mechanical systems to today’s automated, connected, and electric vehicles. Throughout this transformation, the principles of independence, technical rigor, and responsibility have remained constant – providing a trusted foundation for shaping safe mobility in a rapidly changing world.

A Trusted Partner Across Markets and Lifecycles
With a global perspective and a deep understanding of regulatory environments worldwide, DEKRA supports organizations in navigating complexity across the entire mobility ecosystem. By combining technical excellence, regulatory insight, and independence, DEKRA helps ensure that innovation advances safely, responsibly, and sustainably – across markets, technologies, and lifecycles.
It is becoming increasingly important to be able to quickly evaluate the battery condition of electric cars. The need is above all greatest in the growing market for used electric cars, as the battery is considered the most expensive component in an electric car. That makes battery health, or remaining capacity, a critical factor in determining an electric car's value.
