Supporting Complex Vehicle Development and System Optimization：
We are equipped to assist with the intricate tasks of vehicle development, system optimization, validation, and calibration in response to increasingly complex vehicle drivetrains, including ICE-powered vehicles, HEVs, and PHEVs. Econo has extensive experience in developing test systems， as a wide range of vehicles such as scooters, 摩托车, ATVs, cars, light and heavy-duty trucks, busses, tractors and off-road vehicles. Our solutions bridge the gap between simulation，real-world testing by providing testing environments where all vehicle components are integrated. This includes performing mileage accumulation testing to meet legislative or development targets, optimizing performance and consumption, conducting emissions testing, assessing electric driving range, and testing under extreme environmental conditions such as harsh climates or electromagnetic interference.
Comprehensive Vehicle Performance Testing for Powertrain Development
As the automotive industry transitions from ICE to electrified and fully electric powertrains, Econo’s Vehicle Test Systems are designed to accommodate current and future powertrain configurations, from 2WD to 4WD and individual wheel drives, including ICE HEVs and PHEVs. With the rise of electric drives and high-voltage components, our test systems ensure safety and meet higher dynamic requirements. Customers can utilize our test systems for development and system integration, evaluating and optimizing mechanical, 电气, and high-voltage sub-systems within various test environments (Climatic, NVH, or EMC chambers) to ensure optimal vehicle performance, 安全, and compliance.
E-motor test bench
Dealing with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (永磁同步电机), Asynchronous Motors (先进制造商), or Electrically Excited Synchronous Motors (EESM),E-drive systems are dedicated to be compact with high power density, improvement for efficiency, performance, drivability and Noise, 振动, 苛刻 (NVH) and EMC
E-Axle/Axle
Electric drives are at the heart of both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs),这 发展 in e-drive creates a comprehensive integration of inverters, e-motors and transmissions into one housing of an e-axle sub-system, which means it reduces packaging and interfaces but rise the difficulty of testing each integrated component and the whole e-axle sub-system
Engine/Hybrid
Our hybrid and engine test systems are a highly adaptable development environment, tailored for the comprehensive evaluation of various types of engines. This advanced testing bench is specifically designed to assess hybrid, gasoline and diesel engines, as well as the components integrated within them.
Gearbox/Transmission
The growing complexity of modern propulsion systems is driving the need for more advanced instrumentation and testing solutions. To support parallel development activities of critical propulsion components—such as ICE, 混合动力发动机, 电子驱动器, and transmissions—it is essential to conduct transmission testing as early as possible in the development process.
Powertrain/Hub-coupled powertrain
To support development and system integration, customers require advanced test systems capable of evaluating and optimizing both the mechanical and high-voltage electrical subsystems. Our state-of-the-art propulsion test systems are designed to validate a wide range of configurations, including different types 2WD and 4WD systems, speeds, 扭矩, power classes, as well as high-voltage and current requirements specific to electrified systems.
底盘测功机
The vehicle testbed simulate speed and force for the vehicle, emulating real-world driving experience, road data replication, or time-lapsed testing. The optimized hardware and software significantly reduces the duration of the design and validation process. Tests can be executed in a reproducible laboratory environment, simulating any environment with fast setup times.
EMC/EMI
现代车辆配备了高级系统，例如驾驶员协助, 乘客安全功能, 以及内部和外部通信界面. 然而, 关键挑战之一在于控制电磁排放和减少这些系统之间的干扰. 确保高功率电动驱动器与敏感通信系统一起平稳运行，对于整体性能至关重要.

Clutch and brake test benches covering thermal load, 扭矩, friction and wear testing for passenger and commercial vehicle components.
Frequently Asked Questions — Automotive Test Bench
What automotive powertrain components can be tested?
EconoTest automotive test benches cover: e-motors (PMSM/ASM/EESM, 最多 500 KW), e-axles with integrated inverter and transmission, hybrid and ICE engines (gasoline and diesel), gearboxes and transmissions (最多 25,000 RPM input speed, 5,000 Nm input torque), clutches, brakes, chassis on dynamometers, and complete VIL (Vehicle-in-Loop) powertrain systems including ADAS validation.
Are EconoTest automotive test benches compliant with industry standards?
是的. EconoTest chassis dynamometers are EPA compliant and meet European and US certification requirements. E-motor and e-axle test systems support ISO 21940-23, IEC 61800, and IEC 61010. EMC testing solutions are designed for CISPR25 and ISO11452-2 compliance.
What are the specifications of EconoTest chassis dynamometers?
Heavy-duty (truck/bus): 72-inch roller, motor power up to 2×450 kW (最大限度 560 KW), max speed 150 km/h, inertia simulation 3.5–49 T, max bearing 20 时间. Light-duty (passenger car): 48-inch roller, 2西数: up to 2×150 kW, 4西数: up to 4×150 kW, max speed 220 km/h, inertia 0.5–10 T, wheelbase adjustment 2,200–4,500 mm.
What is a VIL (Vehicle-in-Loop) test bench and when is it needed?
A VIL test bench connects the actual vehicle powertrain (2WD or 4WD) to a dynamometer system, allowing real-world validation of performance, 耐用性, NVH, HV integration, and EMC/EMI in a controlled laboratory environment. VIL is needed when ADAS/autonomous driving system validation requires real powertrain response, or when full vehicle emissions testing under controlled conditions is required.
Can the same test bench handle both ICE and electric powertrain testing?
是的. EconoTest powertrain test systems are designed to accommodate ICE, 杂交种 (HEV/PHEV), and BEV/FCEV configurations on the same platform with interchangeable fixtures and adapters. The transition between test modes requires configuration changes in the control system but not physical rebuild of the test cell in most cases.
What environmental chamber options are available for automotive testing?
EconoTest E-motor and E-axle test benches support integration with environmental chambers rated from −45°C to +150°C (customizable). Humidity control is available for corrosion and thermal management validation. High and low temperature cycling testing can be combined with EMC and NVH measurements in a single test sequence.
