Vehicle tests

• Measurement of exhaust emission according to European, US and Japanese standards
• Measurement of fuel consumption over various driving cycles and at constant speed
• Monitoring of transient and total fuel consumption under specific driving conditions
• Measurement of dynamic parameters of the car with transfer of motion resistance from the “Coast-down” method performed on the road
• All of the above at a range of ambient temperatures

Carrying out tests on defined urban, extra-urban, mountain, motorway, off-road and mixed driving routes.
