Combustion engines and operating supplies

Our range of services in the field of combustion engines for passenger cars and commercial vehicles covers the following points:

• Validation of dynamic standard cycles with emission measurements
• Test beds for hybrid powertrain tests
• Test beds for hybrid powertrain tests including the use of original vehicle batteries
• Cold start and thermal shock test tests
• Functional analyses of the engine mechanics on combustion and hybrid engines
• Functional development work on exhaust gas aftertreatment systems (particulate filters, SCR, …)
• Development and validation work of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems on the test bed (in original vehicle positioning), operating vibration tests, durability with resonance tracking, …)
• Tilt analyses for optimisation of oil supply and blow-by system (tilt rig capacity up to a 55° angle)
• Certifications
