Vehicle test, validation and engineering service specialist Millbrook has completed upgrades of its powertrain test facilities, following an invedstment of £1.83 million.
All 12 of its engine test beds have now been improved, with new software, and Millbrook says it is now offering full emissions development capabilities, including cold start characterisation for engine calibration from -40°C, and road load simulation modelling.
The UK proving ground also now has all equipment required for advanced direct injection petrol and diesel fuel engineering development.
"This is a very busy and exciting time for Millbrook, with many opportunities for us to extend our ability to manage turnkey engineering projects," comments Stephen Ratley, head of powertrain at Millbrook.
