Abstract

Through the phase III program, the company intends to complete the industrial development of product models whose design has been completed but not yet had their serial production started. For this purpose, should be made pilot batches of each component of the systems, with a view to reliability analysis in manufacturing, raising marginal costs of production and the necessary iterations between design team and production, in order to generate final versions of the targeted products future serial manufacturing of the products. At the end of the proposed development, SELAZ shall have completed both the validation and the transfer of all projects carried out in the previous phases for the production, marketing and allowing the return of all the investments made so far in this line of research.
