Apart from performance tests, endurance runs are accomplished by driving robots on our durability test benches. This is necessary to examine emission-related components for their reliability because the compliance of limiting values regarding vehicle emissions need to be guaranteed during an entire “lifetime” of 100.000 km (for Euro V exhaust emission specification: 160.000 km).
It is likewise possible to simulate driving-profiles on test benches that are previously recorded during real road traffic.
In addition durability benches are used for loading tests in Diesel-Particulate Filter Development.
