Driving the Future of Mobility in the Middle East

SGS Automotive Homologation and Telematics Expertise

The Middle East is at the cusp of a new era in transportation—where regulatory alignment, digital transformation, and environmental mandates converge to define the next generation of mobility. From electric vehicle (EV) homologation to intelligent tracking systems, SGS delivers end-to-end solutions to support safe, compliant, and connected mobility infrastructures across the region.

Automotive Homologation: Certification and Regulatory Enablement

With the rise of electric mobility, autonomous technologies, and last-mile logistics, automotive homologation has become a critical enabler for manufacturers, fleet operators, and government transport authorities. SGS offers comprehensive homologation services for vehicles and components entering UAE and Gulf markets, including:

Electric Vehicle (EV) Homologation

• Type approval testing in accordance with GCC GSO and country specific regulations
• Battery safety, thermal management, and high-voltage component assessments
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and functional safety testing
• Feasibility studies and regulatory technical advisory for manufacturers and importers entering the Middle East
• Roadworthiness assessments for last-mile delivery, commercial EVs, and two- and three-wheelers

EV Charger Testing and Certification

• AC and DC charger testing, covering IEC and local grid standards
• Verification of protection circuits, communication protocols, and interoperability
• Inspection of installed infrastructure to ensure compliance with UAE electrical safety codes

Component and System Certification

• Homologation of lighting, braking systems, ADAS features, and infotainment units
• Support for retrofit approvals and aftermarket part validation
• Advisory on conformity of production (CoP) and labeling requirements

SGS acts as both a technical verifier and a regulatory facilitator, helping clients navigate complex local certification pathways with confidence and speed.

Intelligent Tracking and Telematics: Real-Time Data for Smarter Mobility

SGS’s SIRA-approved tracking and telematics solutions are deployed across a wide spectrum of transport systems, offering not just visibility—but actionable intelligence. As mobility becomes increasingly data-driven, IoT sensor integration is central to enabling precise, real-time surveillance.

Advanced IoT Integration

SGS telematics platforms support multi-sensor ecosystems, enabling expanded data acquisition from:

• Temperature, humidity, and vibration sensors (critical for cold chain and pharma logistics)
• Seat occupancy and door sensors (for school transport and HSE-sensitive fleets)
• Fuel, engine diagnostics, and tire pressure sensors (for operational efficiency)
• RFID, facial recognition, and biometric tags (for personnel access and secure cargo)

This enables comprehensive fleet analytics and supports preventive maintenance, route optimization, and regulatory reporting.

Sector-Specific Applications

• Luxury Fleet: Route analytics, geofencing, tamper detection, and anti-theft mechanisms
• Cold Supply Chain: Active monitoring with alert-based thresholds and compliance logs
• School & Staff Transport: Attendance tracking, parent alerts, speed compliance, and driver performance dashboards
• HSE-Critical Fleets: Fatigue monitoring, harsh driving alerts, and integration with emergency protocols
• Public Transport: Load management, predictive diagnostics, and municipal dashboarding

All solutions are hosted on secure, scalable platforms and include integration with SIRA regulatory interfaces, ensuring mandatory compliance where applicable.
