The Automotive Testing Expo 2026 is Europe’s leading trade show for vehicle testing, validation, and development technologies. It took place from June 23 to 25, 2026, at Messe Stuttgart and was part of the new “Vehicle Tech Week Europe,” which brings together several technology trade shows under one roof.

At the Automotive Testing Expo 2026 in Stuttgart, Microtech Gefell GmbH presented its latest developments in the field of acoustic measurement technology for the automotive and mobility industries.

As one of the leading manufacturers of professional measurement microphones and acoustic sensors, the company demonstrated how precise sound measurements play a crucial role in the development of modern vehicle platforms—from vehicles with internal combustion engines to electric vehicles and hybrid powertrains, all the way to NVH-optimized interior concepts.

With high-precision measurement microphones, robust test bench systems, and digital measurement chains, the company supports OEMs, suppliers, and research institutions in developing quiet, efficient, and comfort-oriented vehicle platforms.

Acoustics as a Key Technology for Mobility—Importance for the Automotive Industry

With the increasing electrification and automation of vehicles, acoustic requirements are undergoing fundamental changes.

Noise comfort, NVH optimization, and the precise analysis of new sound sources are crucial for quality, safety, and brand perception. Microtech Gefell offers measurement solutions that ensure the highest accuracy and long-term stability.

Highlights of the Trade Show Presentation
