Multifunctional 4WD Chassis Dynamometer
The 4WD chassis dynamometer is a multifunctional development tool, supporting the testing and engineering portfolio for various applications. Tests on a chassis dynamometer generate data with high accuracy and repeatability under real driving conditions while exactly keeping the requested ambient conditions stable. Different driving cycles also with changing gradients are possible, either with a driver or a driving robot.
Main development topics are:
Emission Measurement
- Constant volume sampling (CVS) measurement
- Online emission measurement (multiple lines from engine out to tailpipe)
- Standard cycles as well as customer specific cycles are possible
- Different certification fuels available
NVH & Acoustics Development
- Fingerprint benchmarking
- 4WD powertrain investigation
- Flexible scenario measurement
Energy & Thermal Management
- Energy consumption measurement
- Cooling system investigation
- Warm-up measurement
Function Development
- Drivetrain calibration
- Function development
- Simulation model verification
The technical specification of the equipment, performance, wheel base, axle load, speed and cell dimensions allow the testing of a wide range of vehicles - from passenger car to light duty trucks.
