internal application system, decision-making processes) and to develop core processes with which holistic approaches to digitalization, efficiency increase and emission avoidance\/minimization can be supported by the VUFO.<\/p><p>For example, suitable concepts for digitalized test drives, test series and impact tests could save millions of test kilometers, save hundreds of vehicles from impact
