Flat-Trac Dynamometer Roadway

Apply driver and longitudinal inputs within a repeatable and controlled environment to evaluate the efficiency, performance and durability characteristics of a vehicle drive train while operating on a straight, smooth road.  Data generated by this system can be used for meeting WLTP (Worldwide-harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedures) requirements as well as powertrain tuning for traditional ICE or EV applications.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

Innovative Technology

MTS Flat-Trac moving belt technology accommodates spinning tires to create a high-fidelity, real-world vehicle-to-road interface.

Accurate / Repeatable Results

Provides the vehicle-to-road interface accuracy needed to discern extremely fine changes in rolling loss from one design iteration to the next

Efficient Operation

Far more accommodating of high-throughput testing requirements than conventional roller dyno solutions

Versatile

Accommodates any vehicle by varying track width, wheelbase, type of positioning, power density and bearing type

  1. The longitudinal restraint portion of the 3-Link Restraint is adjustable with either soft and rigid mounting. The soft mounting allows limited body motion during accelerations and decelerations to allow the driver to sense tuning results of the vehicle control unit. Range of motion of the longitudinal restraint is limited by the air bearing range in the tire input assemblies.
