As part of its commitment to helping vehicle manufacturers produce cleaner vehicles, HORIBA MIRA has opened a new Propulsion Test and Development Centre at its UK headquarters in Nuneaton.
In an exciting leap forward for the business, the Propulsion Test and Development Centre is a state-of-the-art testing facility for engine development, providing emissions, performance and validation testing with the latest simulation hardware, which effectively replicates environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure and humidity.
The centre has been specifically developed in response to the need for OEMs to meet ever-stringent emissions standards since the introduction of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test in 2017.
在传统上客户依靠公路测试来开发符合RDE的推进系统的地方，推进测试和开发中心的功能基本上将使RDE测试可以在所有模拟环境中进行“发动机”（EIL）（EIL）在所有的环境中进行。RDE边界条件无需车辆。旨在补充Horiba Mira的高级排放测试中心RDE功能，它将允许OEM在开发周期的更早的时间内设计用于排放符号的车辆，从而带来显着的时间和成本节省。
The new testing lab represents a significant investment for HORIBA MIRA, a world-leader in advanced automotive engineering, research, development and testing, with the company spending more than £4m on the latest technology. This includes the addition of the unique HORIBA MEDAS system which can accurately replicate real-word altitude conditions for vehicle emissions testing, into both the Propulsion Test and Development Centre and the Advanced Emissions Test Centre.
Horiba Mira董事总经理Declan Allen说：“认识到我们的客户在发动机开发和达到严格的排放标准方面面临的挑战的上升挑战，我们在创建新的最先进的推进测试和开发中心方面投入了大量投资。
“As one of very few facilities of its kind around the world, the result is the ultimate engine development lab, where businesses can have all of their performance, testing and validation needs taken care of under one roof – making the process of creating a vehicle for emissions compliance effective and efficient. We look forward to welcoming all our customers, new and existing, to take advantage of this fantastic facility.”
作为一个安全，机密和独立的测试设施，推进测试和开发中心包括稳定状态，可进行排放量的高动力，低惯性的Dyno发动机测试，以及经验丰富的工程师和手头的技术人员，以满足特定于客户的要求。
