History

AVL ZalaZONE Vision

In 2017 Hungary decided to solve the lack of a complex automotive testing facility in the Middle-Eastern region of Europe, and started to build an independent automotive proving ground in Southwest of the country near to the city of Zalaegerszeg. Beside fulfilling the conventional testing requirements, ZalaZONE was designed to focus onto the future: unique track modules, up-to-date technologies should attract customers to bring their ADAS/AD-related testing activity to Zalaegerszeg.
