- full engineering input to meet customer objectives, support problem resolution, systems development, performance optimisation and test programme delivery -
- a particular strength is early development phase work, adapting and modifying existing engines to use future technology and hardware as demonstration mule engines and the skill to achieve first fire and run in -
Our Facility
• Our facility houses three dynamometer test cells which are supported by fully automated systems to allow remote running as well as manual running
• Our infrastructure and set-up means we can perform one-off manual tests and 24-hour, 7-day a week continuous running
• We are able to deal with gasoline, diesel and specialist fuels
• On site support services to facilitate testing:
- Engine build shop
- Teardown / layout area
- Instrumentation supply and installation
- Fabrication and welding (MIG and TIG)
- Manual machining
