Independent vehicle test, validation and engineering service provider Millbrook Group has opened its new, state-of-the-art four-wheel drive (4WD) climatic emissions chassis dynamometer.

The facility operates at temperatures between minus 20 and plus 50 degrees centigrade and is used to measure vehicle emissions, CO2, fuel consumption, electric consumption and range and climatic performance of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles under repeatable conditions.

It boasts a high performance fully transient 4WD 48-inch chassis dynamometer along with the latest advanced emissions system for measuring regulated and unregulated pollutants. It is suitable for gasoline, diesel, LPG, CNG, hybrid, electric and hydrogen vehicles, and is compliant with current and known future European Federal and Japanese light duty emissions regulations including WLTP.
