Multimatic Installs First Vi-grade Hyperdock Cockpit Simulator In North America

VI-grade, a supplier of human-centric simulation-driven conveyance improvement technologies, has installed of its HyperDock cockpit astatine Multimatic, marking nan first HyperDock strategy to beryllium deployed successful North America.

The HyperDock, installed astatine Multimatic’s Vehicle Dynamics Center successful Novi, Michigan, elevates Multimatic’s existing DiM250 driving simulator, installed successful 2020, into a full-spectrum simulation platform, enabling nan mixed improvement of conveyance dynamics and NVH attributes wrong a single, immersive environment. The strategy will make its charismatic debut during a dedicated Open House arena connected 11th March, 2026.

The HyperDock cockpit is simply a lightweight carbon-fibre strategy engineered to amended stiffness, trim inertia, and heighten simulator responsiveness. By replacing nan accepted apical disk pinch a nonstop actuator interface and integrating vibro-acoustic feedback, HyperDock enables engineers to measure ride, handling, and noise-and-vibration behaviour pinch realism and precision.

“After evaluating nan VI-grade HyperDock Full Spectrum Simulator cockpit astatine nan SimCenter Udine complete a twelvemonth ago, Multimatic quickly realised that it would supply a important measurement guardant successful nan fidelity of each DiM applications, from roadworthy car thrust tuning to title car limit handling. The overwhelmingly affirmative responses from Murray White, method head of conveyance improvement astatine Multimatic, and Dirk Müller, a master title car driver, affirmed Multimatic’s determination to upgrade to HyperDock”, commented Peter Gibbons, method head conveyance dynamics astatine Multimatic.

“The added immersion, superior tactile feedback, and audio advancements person moved nan goalposts good beyond our expectations. Multimatic looks guardant to continuing to leverage nan awesome capabilities of HyperDock complete nan coming years,” he added.

To people nan installation, VI-grade and Multimatic will big a dedicated uncover arena connected 11th March, 2026, astatine nan Multimatic Vehicle Dynamics Center successful Novi, Michigan. Attendees tin spot nan HyperDock cockpit successful action and research full-spectrum simulation workflows. Registration is free-of-charge and disposable connected nan event landing page (limited places available).
