Test stands

Our test bay comprises a total of 10 highly automated test benches where we can carry out continuous, parallel measurements of any duration in 24-hour operation. All test benches are equipped with the most state-of-the-art dynamometers as well as cooling and conditioning systems. This enables us to test any vehicle configuration under any static or dynamic road and environmental conditions, from simulating everyday journeys to material testing under extreme conditions.

  • 9 engine test benches
  • 1 single-axle powertrain test bench
    • Multi-configuration model

Dynamometers

  • Asynchronous machines on all test benches
    • Engine testbeds: performance range up to 500 kW, 1,690 Nm, 10,000 rpm
