We carry out our work at the INSIA-UPM, which is a centre of reference for the automotive industry and transport sector in Spain and Europe. The main work at the Institute is carried out in the field of automotive vehicles and their impact on safety and the environment with R&I projects and programmes, specialist and post-graduate education and technological services for industrial and transport companies and public entities.
