Research and Planning
Capelec is a member of international organizations specializing in road safety, vehicle inspections, and regulatory developments. This active monitoring allows the company to anticipate and respond to new directives.
Innovation and Productivity
Equipment efficiency drives every development. Ergonomics, architecture, mechanics, and software are designed to ensure high performance. New features further enhance this efficiency.
Adaptability
Capelec equipment is designed to adapt to regulatory changes. With each change, updates ensure compliance and enable the equipment to remain operational over the long term.
Capelec designs, develops, and manufactures all of its solutions. The company possesses all the necessary expertise (mechanical, electronic, and software), which guarantees high measurement accuracy and the conformity of the measured values.
Emissions Testing Expertise
The R&D teams are experts in all measurement technologies applied to pollution control. The pollution measurement sensors are certified by Capelec, which specializes in legal metrology.
User software and official procedures
Capelec designs its own user software. Official procedures are directly integrated into the software to ensure regulatory compliance for each inspection.
Data centralization
Communication protocols are integrated into the Capelec interfaces, which facilitates the centralization of inspection data.
Industrial Engineering
All equipment (test benches, gas and particulate analyzers, opacimeters, and headlight aimers) undergoes rigorous and demanding quality control.
Choosing CAPELEC means relying on a company committed to compliance with regulations. We actively support industry stakeholders alongside official bodies in defining measurement standards related to road safety. This direct involvement ensures our customers receive solutions that are compliant, sustainable, and aligned with future regulatory changes.
Capelec combines technological expertise with regulatory expertise. Its design and production teams adapt to various regulatory environments and ensure that equipment complies with national standards.
Equipment Compliance and Certification
Headlight aimers, gas analyzers, particle counters, opacimeters, and brake test stands comply with current standards. Applicable certifications depend on the market and are verified on a project-by-project basis.
Regulatory Support
Our teams share their expertise with vehicle inspection professionals from the very start of their project. They help them select equipment and a layout that comply with current requirements.
Quality & Certification
ISO 9001:2015 certified, Capelec is committed to providing products and services that meet high standards. Every Capelec device is monitored from design through production and throughout its operational life.
This is the field where requirements and thresholds are changing the fastest. Exhaust gas analysis, measurement of diesel smoke opacity, and particle count.
We develop these devices so that they can be used independently or combined at a single station for inspections involving a mixed fleet: gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles, such as passenger cars or trucks.

Braking is the most closely monitored and demanding safety function for the equipment. It requires applying significant force, measuring with precision, and ensuring measurement repeatability.
Our roller test stands are designed to accommodate most vehicle types, covering light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, and two-wheelers. They are complemented by skid plates, clearance plates, and suspension test stands to test the entire suspension system.
The widespread adoption of LED, matrix, and adaptive lighting has changed the nature of inspections: a structured light beam requires much finer readings than a halogen light.
Our electronic headlight aimers with CCD cameras are compatible with halogen, xenon, LED, and AFS technologies. They are available in mechanical, electronic, and robotic versions to suit both workshop environments and high-speed inspection lines.
