Three Specialized Divisions
At the heart of CSTT’s business model are three business divisions,
each specializing in a particular aspect of transportation technology.
CSTT’s Rail Division helps clients optimize
the design of railcars and components, and develop and implement leading new
maintenance strategies for track and rolling stock.
The Road Vehicle and Military Systems Division
(RVMS) solves problems and improves performance by engineering and testing vehicle and
military systems, and by designing and prototyping new solutions.
CSTT’s Climatic Engineering and Testing Division
provides facilities and services to test the performance of vehicles and equipment
under an exceptionally wide variety of climatic conditions – from high Arctic
cold to desert hot.
In-House R&D
CSTT’s R&D group –
Advanced Products and Technology
– puts CSTT technology to work in new product and technology concept development,
design, prototyping, evaluation and production, in partnership with CSTT
divisions and private companies.
Together, these business divisions draw on a comprehensive suite of
advanced facilities and services to meet the most demanding test and design
requirements in the transportation industry.
