ENGINE TEST CELL
At ICAT, Engine and E-motor Test Laboratory is capable of performing Certification as well as Developmental trials for Medium & Heavy-Duty Vehicle’s engine with GVW above 3.5ton. The lab offers dual stream emission testing of engines along with high altitude simulation capabilities. The EV test labs are also equipped with battery emulator for testing electric motors up to 300 kW.
The domain of testing with respect to the application of engine includes- BSVI Automotive, Power Tiller – TREM III, Tractor – TREM IIIA, Stage IV, V and CEV – BSIII, BSIV, BSV and Genset as per National & International Standards.
Other than standard tests, ETC also delivers tests custom-tailored to the customer’s requirements like endurance projects, Deterioration factor trials, over speed trails, thermal shock testing etc. It also caters all kind of electric motors DVP test requirements.
