Vehicle Technical Intelligence Platform (VTIP)

The most comprehensive tool for planning in-production fleets in the United States.

How are we performing against the competition?
What are our strengths and weaknesses?
What are industry trends & norms?

VTIP includes comprehensive specifications and performance attributes for all U.S. market light-duty vehicles; approximately 1,600 individual vehicle models and sub-configurations, per year. Subject Matter Experts align disparate data sources including manufacturer specifications and certification information; combining all vehicle and powertrain specifications with certification test parameters and results, including the road load coefficients, equivalent test weights, fuel economy, and tailpipe CO2 emissions

VTIP use cases

VTIP enables you to assess current competitive position for key attributes including, mass efficiency, aerodynamic drag, tire rolling resistance, tractive energy, tractive efficiency, fuel economy, CO2, electric range, and acceleration performance. This subscription solution provides highly granular technical specifications plus synthesized variables and projected acceleration performance. Check out how some clients are already using VTIP:

Vehicle information is enhanced with generated synthesized and simulated attributes.
Approximately 240 variables are reported per vehicle.
VTIP currently encompasses model years 2012 to current
The web-based access provides search, filtering, charting, and reporting.

VTIP Use Case Example #1

To support the mid-term evaluation greenhouse regulations, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) requested a comprehensive evaluation of the entire U.S. fleet, which is 1500 unique vehicles: all brands, all models.
Client Request: Determine best-in-class mass efficiency, aerodynamic drag, and tire rolling resistance among all vehicles in the U.S. fleet.
Solution: Generate distributions of the VTIP metrics of mass efficiency, aerodynamic drag, and tire rolling resistance to select best-in-class levels by vehicle type.

VTIP Use Case Example #2

Client Request: provide efficiency trends for specific internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies.
Solution: compare the powertrain efficiency, included in VTIP, of the requested technologies against all ICE powertrain applications.

VTIP Use Case Example #3

Client Request: OEM request to compare the fuel economy elements of their products to their competitor products.
Solution: compare the mass efficiency, aerodynamic drag, tire rolling resistance, vehicle tractive energy and tractive efficiency of their products against their competitor products.
