Light-Duty Chassis Testing

Building on over 75 years of expertise, HORIBA’s industry-leading solutions provide the accurate measurement, extreme reliability, and high laboratory utilization essential for today’s complex development programs. Trustworthy measurement results move customers closer to legislative thresholds with confidence—reducing cost, time, and risk. 

HORIBA’s full line of flexible, industry-leading analyzers and measurement systems support the validation and verification of the overall vehicle, components, subsystems, and measurement at all exhaust flow levels including hybrid powertrains with intermittent zero flow. Designed with future-proofing in mind, these solutions allow for the addition of new requirements as the industry evolves. Flexible tools and experienced engineering teams help users meet regulations for vehicle certification, engine refinement, and optimization of vehicle performance to meet lower CO₂ and pollutant requirements. 

As light-duty vehicle developers and manufacturers shift, over time, from a dependence on internal combustion engines to a complex mix of hybridization, energy recovery, and electrification solutions—HORIBA will be there to help. This includes the use of a range of gaseous and liquid fuels as well as fuel cell technology. Dynamometer-based solutions are also a critical part of achieving testing goals. HORIBA’s dynamic and configurable chassis dynamometers are capable of accurately simulating real-world driving events for all types of propulsion systems, including high-performance BEVs.

HORIBA automation solutions complete the vehicle development picture and tie all the facets of the testing process together. They support data and information requirements from design, to production, and end use. These solutions ensure overall laboratory efficiency. Built on an open and adaptable platform to ensure a safe, efficient, and integrated testing experience.
