- December 2025 GB Type Approval designation expands revenue beyond Spain into Britain.
- April 2026 AI-for-CAE rollout cuts computation from days to seconds, improving productivity and sales.
What critics are saying

- Applus paid 428 million euros for 80% in July 2024, raising leverage and execution pressure.
- Any OEM shift to cheaper homologation rivals like TÜV Rheinland or Dekra hits utilization fast.
What makes Applus IDIADA unique

Company News
Applus' Extraordinary General Meeting approved a credit of up to €500 million to finance the acquisition of 80% of Idiada Automotive Technology, as reported to the CNMV. The operation involves an intragroup credit between Amber FinCo and Applus. Additionally, a €200 million intragroup credit was approved to access Amber FinCo's revolving credit line for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Title: "Applus Bids Alone for Idiada After TÜV Rheinland Withdraws" Content: The German group TÜV Rheinland did not submit an offer for the 80% stake in the company managing the automotive technology center. This leaves Applus free to retain Idiada Automotive Technology, which operates the testing circuit and technology center in Santa Oliva (Tarragona) owned by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
