Every vehicle imported from the USA must be adapted to comply with applicable European regulations. As part of the homologation process, we organize and coordinate the necessary technical modifications through certified partner workshops to prepare the vehicle for European safety, lighting, electronics, and emissions requirements.
These measures serve to prepare for the subsequent individual TÜV inspection and later road approval, and are carried out on the basis of the applicable EU directives.
Wir übernehmen für Sie die Organisation der notwendigen technischen Anpassungen Ihres US-Fahrzeugs. Die Ausführung erfolgt durch zertifizierte Fachbetriebe. Die abschließende technische Prüfung wird durch TÜV, DEKRA oder eine vergleichbare Prüforganisation vorgenommen.
The lighting according to the US specification does not comply with the applicable European approval regulations (StVZO). To prepare for the EU approval, the following lighting components and functions will therefore be adapted.
The electronic vehicle systems are being prepared for the requirements of European approval. This includes in particular the conversion of the display and warning systems (e.g. km / h display), the configuration of TPMS functions, display and control signals as well as the vehicle-specific conversion of relevant control units.
As part of the homologation, relevant safety-related vehicle components are taken into account and documented. These include, in particular, restraint systems (belts, airbags), ISOFIX / LATCH attachment points, reflectors, as well as vehicle features that are subject to visibility and labeling.
Masso Cars & Co. coordinates and arranges the preparation of all emissions-, environmental-, and type-related documentation required for homologation and vehicle registration in Germany.
Depending on the vehicle type and model year, this may include emissions, noise, and brake test reports; lighting compliance reports if E-marking is missing; EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) certificates; as well as technical specifications covering power output, dimensions, weights, and tires.
The duration depends on the type of vehicle and the scope of technical adjustments. As a rule, the process takes from 1 to 3 weeks, provided that all parts are available and no additional checks are required.
Yes. Most US vehicles do not comply with European standards, especially in lighting, electronics, safety systems and emission data. Which adjustments are exactly necessary depends on the model.
