Engine Dyno Testing
Our engine dyno cells perform EPA, CARB, and international compliance testing for diesel, gas, CNG, and propane engines up to 2000 horsepower. The facility supports transient cycles like FTP, NRTC, and ISO modes with 1Hz data capture across 20+ emission parameters. Custom software configurations enable specialized testing programs for emerging technologies.
Chassis Testing
Full-vehicle chassis dyno testing on 48-roll systems evaluates emissions performance for gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuel vehicles. We execute standard cycles including FTP City, US06, and electric vehicle protocols while maintaining compliance with CFR Part 86 requirements for certification and verification programs.
SHED Testing
Three variable volume/temperature SHED chambers conduct diurnal, hot soak, and ORVR efficiency tests with automated data recording. Our systems measure evaporative emissions from vehicle fuel systems and canister loading performance using Horiba analyzers for regulatory compliance verification.
Motorcycle Testing
Professional drivers execute AMA/SRC durability courses for motorcycle certification. Our facility supports EPA/CARB compliance testing for on-road/off-road motorcycles, ATVs, and scooters with FTP CVS 74 and N2O analysis capabilities for both conventional and electric powertrains.
