I’ll be speaking at the 23rd VDI Conference — Eurotyre: Linking Tyre-Chassis-Road — this September in Garbsen, Germany!
After 36+ years in automotive NVH — tire, chassis, and brake development — I’m presenting a critical review of how the industry actually tests tire noise and vibration, and why so many current methods still don’t agree with each other.
In this talk, I’ll dig into: Why full-vehicle, dynamometer, and indoor test methods often produce conflicting results. The physics behind tire-road noise — from road texture to structure-borne and airborne transmission. A new “Flexible Spindle Rig” concept for more realistic indoor testing. Why psychoacoustic evaluation deserves to be standard practice, not an afterthought
If you work in tire, chassis, or vehicle NVH — or you’ve ever wondered why your car sounds different on every road — I’d love to see you there.
September 29–30, 2026 Garbsen, Germany
