Design Verification (DV) in Automotive | Full Process, Tests & Real Examples
Welcome to AutoProject Insights!
In today’s video, we explore Design Verification (DV) — one of the most critical stages in automotive product development.
You’ll learn:
What is DV and why it’s important
Which phase of development DV is performed in
Inputs required for DV (OEM requirements, DFMEA, design concepts, regulations)
Full DV Testing Process
Physical DV example: Engine Power Output Test
Software DV example: Thermal Performance Simulation
DV reporting, acceptance criteria & outputs
How DV differs from Production Validation (PV)
his channel provides practical insights on automotive engineering, product development, DV–PV testing, DFMEA/DVP&R, mechatronics, and industry workflows.
If you’re a Mechanical/Automotive Engineer, this video will help you understand real OEM processes used in Stellantis, Renault, Bosch, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, and more.
