Powertrain

Our Powertrain test facilities benefit from the combination of our expertise and experience in engine and chassis dynamometer design and control techniques.  These along with the advanced simulations developed for our own state-of-the-art Robot Driver systems ensure we are able to provide the best solutions for your powertrain and transmission testing requirements. 

Powertrain test applications available include various arrangements of transmission test stands through to full Powertrain test systems, with multiple dynamometers and either an engine driven input or a further  AC machine.  Ultimate flexibility is provided with our hybrid Powertrain Flex-test facility; enabling individual testing of the prime movers, a fully synchronised test with both power sources operational and many situations in between.

The assoviated control systems include full rosd and inertia simulation with accurate speed synchronisation of the powertrain outputs. Additionally several advanced features are available including full journey replay and simulation, facility services, battery simulators and HIL simulation packages to ensure rapid development of powertrain systems and components.

All systems can be provided accomodate both 2- and 4- wheel drive solutions as well as additional replacement of prime movers for transmission only testing.

Whether the requirement is for long-term durability, emissions,NVH of drivability testing our systems provide the right solutions.
