German term or phrase: Verbund-Release
Softwaretest fuer Steuergreraete X5- Xenon Verbund Release ( VR ) von Porsche und Daimler Chrysler.

I have seen this term used in two contexts, both of which involve electronic control units inside vehicles, and both of which involve partnerships between two or more distinct car companies.

Verbund Release
Compound release


Explanation:
Verbund can mean 'compound', which is the holding yard car companies use to store their vehicles before they are being sold.

So it might be referring to tests for software being used in releasing vehicles from the compound.
