Design-in means Vlukon is involved early, before the platform is frozen, so the wheel system is designed for your machine instead of adapted to it afterwards. We work with the engineering, R&D and product teams of OEMs that build vehicles and machines in small and medium series.
Who we work with
- Rims and wheels up to about 17" and complete wheel systems
- New product development or platform renewal within the next 24 months
- A technical relationship: engineering can still influence the design
- Typical fields: agricultural machinery, robotics, electric mobility
How engineering is priced
Concept and feasibility are agreed with you up front; engineering hours and external costs are quoted; prototypes and tooling are quoted or recovered through agreed series volumes. Exclusivity and design ownership are agreed in writing beforehand, so both sides know where they stand.
