The CARS-HEV@PoliTO infrastructure is dedicated to the testing of conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles and powertrains. It is a test room, which allows them to be studied and characterized in a controlled environment, measuring consumption, emissions and efficiency. It is also possible to develop management and control strategies for hybrid and electric powertrains.
Main services
- Testing of conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles with a weight of up to 3500 kg and a wheelbase of up to 4100 mm.
- Experimentation of conventional, hybrid and electric powertrains and related subsystems.
Equipment
Test room with:
- 4 load dynamos,
- electric machine to simulate a heat engine,
- gripping devices to test vehicles and powertrains,
- automation system to perform vehicle and powertrain tests,
- Battery emulator,
- robot for pedal commands,
- system for measuring undiluted pollutants,
- signal acquisition system.
Dedicated equipment for testing subsystems (engine cell, 1-D powertrain bench, belt drive bench, battery test room).
