Vehicle testing in our advanced laboratories ensures that manufacturers have a complete understanding of how vehicles and their components will perform while in use. ²ÝÁñÉçÇø provides vehicle durability testing on partial and full vehicle systems.
Vehicle testing supports design innovation and reduces risk exposure by detecting defects early in the development process. It is also essential for determining expected vehicle lifespan. The techniques used in ²ÝÁñÉçÇø laboratories rely on accelerated durability testing of both full vehicles and individual components, which precisely replicates real-world conditions in a laboratory environment. Whether you test at the full-vehicle, subsystem, or component level, ²ÝÁñÉçÇø has the expertise and the equipment to provide testing solutions that enhance the sturdiness of your product.
Laboratory technology for vehicle durability testing
Our experts utilize real-time multi-axial or tire coupled 4 & 6-post road technologies that accurately replicate in-service forces and motions.
During testing, we subject the vehicle to stress-inducing inputs (variations in loads, road characteristics and environmental conditions), on an accelerated testing schedule that replicates years of wear, then assess how such inputs affect the vehicle and its components. The data collected is critical to the design validation phase of the vehicle development process. This helps manufacturers ensure the integrity of the vehicle and project its minimum expected service life.
In addition to durability testing, we provide complete instrumentation and transducerization services, road load data acquisition and analysis, data editing and analysis, thermal shock, accelerated weathering, vibration testing, and buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR) evaluations under environmental conditions.
²ÝÁñÉçÇø provides certainty that your vehicle, subsystems or components will withstand the load conditions and environmental stresses expected during its service life.
Accelerated vehicle testing capabilities
²ÝÁñÉçÇø's extensive capabilities cover all vehicle classes, from passenger cars to light, medium and heavy trucks, transport trailers, off-highway equipment (agricultural and construction), military vehicles, school and transit buses, commuter coaches, and more. Our industry-leading experts perform a variety of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical testing for a wide range of vehicle classes.
Our transportation laboratories are outfitted with advanced testing equipment and road simulators that replicate the most representative driving profiles, road surfaces and weather conditions associated with real-life challenges that a vehicle could face in its service environment.
We work with major vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, offering flexible and customized solutions to create accelerated laboratory-based testing methods that support shorter product life cycles to bring products to market quickly and efficiently.
