Establishing a multi-level testing environment for classic and autonomous vehicles and a unique ecosystem including a comprehensive test track, research and development facilities.
The test track will be suitable not only for conventional vehicle tests but also for autonomous, connected and electric vehicles tests in all track elements. The elements of the track will include a dynamic test surface, braking platform, express and highway sections, handling track, various roundabouts, urban/smart city environment and a high-speed oval path. To complement and enhance the closed test environment, T-Systems is committed to launching its 5G mobile communication network not only in the test field but also in Zalaegerszeg which is part of the smart city development. A domestic test corridor will be developed to enable testing on the Budapest-Győr-Zalaegerszeg triangle: the M1 and M7 motorway sections, the M86 motorway, and the highway M76 designed between Zalaegerszeg and the M7 motorway (which will be built with "smart" elements - high-speed, real traffic for car manufacturing companies and TIER1 and TIER2 suppliers In addition to the domestic test corridor, an international cross-border test corridor is planned in partnership with Republic of Austria and Republic of Slovenia on the Zalaegerszeg-Graz-Maribor triangle. A Memorandum of Understanding about further co-operation between the Republic of Austria, Republic of Slovenia and Hungary was signed on 22nd of March 2018.
