As a recognized leader in materials and product qualification testing for the global transportation industry, we offer automotive engine and powertrain testing to help ensure that these critical power-producing parts of the vehicle meet their design expectations and will survive the service conditions. 

We understand the engineering and design challenges that face the automotive industry when it comes to developing more fuel-efficient vehicles and provide testing to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for light-duty vehicles to ensure that their engine and powertrain systems contribute to fuel efficiency. 

Powertrain system durability testing

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s laboratories feature advanced multi-axial simulation tables (MAST), spindle-coupled and tire-coupled road simulators that allow us to perform durability testing on powertrain systems with the highest laboratory simulation accuracy. We develop customized solutions by reproducing various proving ground road surfaces and events to meet your most demanding road simulation challenges. 

Powertrain system materials testing

Our powertrain testing programs comprise chemical analysis, microstructural examination, and mechanical testing of component materials to ensure that they have the specified composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties. 

With dedicated experts for failure analysis of both metals and non-metallic materials, our capabilities allow us to perform comprehensive failure analysis investigations should a powertrain component break prematurely in component tests or service. Results are reported rapidly and accurately to keep you informed on how to achieve your product’s long service life.

The combination of our extensive experience and specialized equipment allow us to test just about any vehicle, from passenger cars to commercial trucks, school and transit buses, commuter coaches, and military vehicles.
