# Ansible Motion opens £2m vehicle simulation R&D facility

[![engineering-and-technology-magazine](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/News_Images/engineering-and-technology-magazine.jpg)](http://eandt.theiet.org/news/2015/may/ansible-motion.cfm)Vehicle simulator developer Ansible Motion has unveiled a new research and development centre that features an advanced driving simulator at the Hethel Engineering Centre in Norfolk, UK. The £2m facility features a [Delta Series full motion simulator](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) that is designed for use by highly skilled drivers looking to provide accurate and subjective feedback when evaluating new handling, steering and dynamic performance on virtual proving grounds and race tracks.

[Kia Cammaerts](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science), founder of Ansible Motion, said: “Simulators such as the Delta series in our new R&D Centre offer vehicle manufacturers a no-compromise method to reduce development costs and time. Using our simulator has cut the validation time from 10 days to just three for an Electronic Stability Control programme for one particular car maker. Apply those kinds of savings in cost and time across the whole car and it explains why we are now getting more and more enquiries from global OEMs to see what our simulator can do.”

## About Ansible Motion

Founded in 2009, Ansible Motion creates and deploys technology associated with the physical and logical simulation of human-experienced vehicles. We offer a range of automotive Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, and industry-unique motion and immersion solutions that create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers.

Ansible Motion DIL simulators are used by automotive and research organisations around the globe to place real people into direct contact with imagined vehicles, on-board systems and situations. Our DIL simulators are designed, built and developed at our factory and R&D Centre in Hethel, England.

In 2022 we were acquired by AB Dynamics plc ([www.abdplc.com](https://www.abdplc.com/)).
