Innovative solutions and research facilities for the needs of modern automotive industry

The walk-in climatic chamber is designed for cyclic corrosion and aggressive climate testing in accordance with:

• VDA 233-102:2013-06,
• PV 1210:2016-02,
• PV 1209:2023,
• PN-EN IEC 60068-2-52:2018-05 (Test Kb),
• DIN 55635:2019-05 and EN ISO 11997-3:2023-10.

It enables controlled simulation of salt mist exposure, humidity condensation, temperature variation and drying cycles for the evaluation of corrosion resistance of coatings, components, and assemblies.

The Large Dust and Sand Test Chambers are designed for evaluating the resistance of components and enclosures to dust ingress and abrasive particle exposure under controlled conditions.

• The vertical dust chamber operates according to ISO 20653, IEC 60529, and EN 60068-2-68 standards, providing uniform dust flow for testing large components such as battery pack housings, e-drive units, and electronic enclosures.
  It features internal dimensions of approximately 2.5 × 2.0 × 2.5 m (H × D × W) and a maximum load capacity of 700 kg.
• The horizontal dust and sand chamber complies with MIL-STD-810 H and EN 60068-2-68, enabling simulation of wind-blown dust or sand exposure and the sandblasting effect on component surfaces.
  Different media such as Arizona dust, talc, and cement powder can be used, with adjustable dust concentration and airflow velocity to replicate real environmental stress conditions.

• The Brake Emission Test Stand enables testing in accordance with the United Nations Global Technical Regulation No. 24 (UN GTR 24) methodology, ensuring full compliance with the upcoming EURO 7 emission requirements.
• The system allows precise measurement of brake wear, particulate matter (PM) emissions, and particle number (PN) emissions generated during braking events.
• It supports testing of Light-Duty Vehicles category 1-1 (M1) and 2 (N1) with a fully laden mass below 3500 kg, under controlled thermal and dynamic conditions representative of real-world operation. 

• The new high-power engine test bench has been designed exclusively for testing large engines used in:
  • heavy-duty,
  • military,
  • rail,
  • NRMM,
  • and marine applications.
• Equipped with a HORIBA hydraulic dynamometer capable of absorbing up to 2.1 MW of power and torque up to 15 000 Nm, the facility allows comprehensive development, durability, and certification testing under fully controlled operating conditions.
• A dedicated cooling circuit enables continuous operation of high-output powertrains, while flexible fuel infrastructure supports multiple fuel types, including:
  • diesel,
  • gasoline,
  • military and jet fuels,
  • as well as gaseous fuels such as CNG and LPG.
  • The test bench is fully instrumented for advanced performance, emissions, and endurance evaluation.
