STARS VETS includes support for real driving emissions testing – enabling whole-vehicle RDE tests to be replicated accurately with HORIBA’s unique methodology and know-how. Additionally, it is available for vehicle emissions testing on chassis, engine and powertrain dynamometers. 
 
Important features that were launched within the previous versions of STARS VETS are still available including: 

  • Open and flexible platform for customization of testing at every vehicle development stage 
  • Interface with various simulation platforms for scenario based real-world testing 
  • Unique inspector tool for transparent insight into test results post-processing  
  • Optimum efficiency with the possibility to run and prepare for the next test simultaneously
