Automotive Testing Facility | Michigan, USA

The HORIBA North American Testing Center has 14 dedicated dynamometer test cells. Our test cells use an "open laboratory" format, meaning our test cells can be reconfigured on a moment's notice to support multiple types of ePowertrain and ICE Powertrain applications. 

These applications include:
