This paper describes two experimental facilities and a piece of software designed to serve as a teaching aid for automotive engineering. The first experimental rig is an antilock brake system (ABS) workbench for a scaled-down heavy-vehicle tri-axle configuration. The second facility is a tyre-testing sliding table used to show the forces and moments on the tyre-road contact area. In the third case, a piece of software has been embedded in an easy-to-use graphic user interface (GUI) to analyse vehicle cornering behaviour as predicted by the popular 'one-track model'. In the first two cases the focus lies on the construction, on the instrumentation and on the use of the experimental set-up, whereas in the third case the focus is centred on the equations used to represent the model, on the simplifications made, on the properties used, on the numerical integration and on the layout of the designed GUI.
