In Cesvimap, Mapfre´s Centre for Experimentation and Road Safety, we are dedicated to automobile research, channelling our greatest efforts towards methodology of repair for damage resulting from road traffic accidents. We then pass on the conclusions reached by this research, through numerous publications and training activities.  Cesvimap´s field of work covers the study of passenger cars, industrial vehicles and motorcycles. The Centre´s activities are geared towards repair shop staff, insurance companies, vehicle manufacturers, claims adjusters, and teachers and students of technical colleges, amongst other target users. Since Mapfre decided to set this project in action in 1983, progress has been most significant. A sense of responsibility, which has always been the guiding force behind our way of working, has meant that we have been able to reach and guarantee a high standard of quality.
