All Wheel Drive Dynamometer

An All Wheel Drive dynamometer allows for testing of AWD sport utility vehicles, AWD cars and performance vehicles. It also allows for realistic testing of hybrid electric vehicles as the balance between mechanical braking and regenerative braking is correctly determined.

ETC Site 2 features a Burke porter all-wheel drive AC dynamometer. The system has two independent 48” rollers, and axis-to-axis roller spacing adjustable from 70 to 180 inches (1.8 to 4.6 meters) to accommodate a wide range of vehicle wheelbases. The lab is used to test light-duty and medium-duty passenger vehicles, and also medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial trucks (GVWR>33,000 lbs. / 14,968 kgs.) with single drive axles. Class 8 tandem axle tractors may also be accommodated, with the forward axle on the drive roll and the rear axle disengaged.
