Light Duty Vehicle Chassis Dynamometer

Light Duty Vehicles (LDV) are characterized by a variety of established technologies. Therefore, chassis dynamometers need to cover a wide range of technical requirements.

HORIBA’s continuous optimization and improvement of tried-and-tested designs have led to the latest generation of chassis dynamometers capable of high performances.
Suitable for two-wheel or four-wheel drive set-ups, compliant with existing and forthcoming emission standards or optimized for electric vehicles, HORIBA covers a wide range of test applications including NVH and fuel economy testing, State of Charge (SoC) testing, mileage accumulation,  emission certification and climatic testing.

The following chassis dynamometer variants are available:

  • VULCAN II LDV
  • VULCAN EVO LDV
  • VULCAN Compact LDV 4x4
  • VULCAN EVO LDV 4x4
