Vehicle Durability Testing: Mileage Accumulation Dynamometers and Fleet Testing Services
Mileage Accumulation Dynamometers
ETC is in the process of installing eight single roll mileage accumulation dynamometers. These dyno’s will allow manufactures to rapidly age powertrain and emissions control components without the risk and liability of on road operation.
Robotic drivers can be used for longer accumulation periods, or human drivers can be used for shorter duration drive cycles. The ETC DATES system will allow all standard driving schedules to be implemented along with allowing the creation of custom drive traces.
Fleet Testing Services
Fleet testing is an important phase of vehicle research that provides proof of performance and comparative data under actual operating conditions. ETC offers a combination of expertise and state-of-the-art test facilities to clients in the automotive industry.
