ENGINES, POWERTRAIN AND EMISSIONS LABORATORY

 

Engines, Powertrain and Emissions

The engine, power-train and emissions laboratory has its own facilities and a team with 10 years experience in the area of alternative propulsion systems.

Tests Types:

  • Design, development and implementation of control strategies for a complete power train.
  • Measurement of emissions and consumptions in real driving cycles by means of onboard equipment.
  • Calibration of ECU´s.
  • Finding the characteristic curves of thermal engines.
  • Recording and measuring power train variables (through the CAN network) in a real cycle using onboard equipment.
  • Evaluating fuel, additives and improvements in thermal engines.
