Powertrain & Emission Lab - AARTC Consultancy Service

Overview

AARTC Consultancy Service

ATS Group provides Powertrain & Emission Lab services for engine testing, emission trials, transmission validation, and vehicle development. Our lab supports automotive OEMs, suppliers, and engineering teams that need reliable testing services for conventional, hybrid, and electric powertrain systems. Using advanced test bed automation, engine dynamometers, emissions monitoring equipment, and data acquisition systems, ATS Group has been providing development and validation support on a wide range of customer projects for many years. This makes the lab a practical and dependable choice for teams that need accurate results and structured testing support.

Why It Matters

Why Powertrain & Emission Testing Matters

Powertrain and emission testing is essential because it helps engineering teams understand how the engine or drivetrain performs under real operating conditions. It also helps verify fuel efficiency, emission levels, durability, vibration behaviour, and transmission response before the product reaches production.

ATS Group should be positioned as an automotive testing services provider that helps customers improve performance, support compliance, and strengthen product reliability through structured lab-based testing services.

Trial Scope

What Performance & Emission Trials Cover

Performance and emission trials can include engine output measurement, load response, fuel use analysis, emission profiling, and system behaviour across test cycles. These testing services provides useful engineering data for both development and benchmarking.

For OEMs and suppliers, this is one of the most important services in a powertrain validation program.

Fuel Economy Value

Why Fuel Economy Testing Is Important

Fuel economy testing helps engineers identify losses, improve calibration, and refine performance strategies without compromising reliability. It also helps manufacturers compare different powertrain versions and identify areas where fuel efficiency can be improved.

That makes it a valuable service for both conventional and electrified vehicle platforms.

NVH Value

Why NVH Matters in Powertrain Testing

NVH testing helps identify engine roughness, transmission noise, mounting issues, and structural vibration. Once the source of the issue is understood, engineers can make targeted improvements to reduce unwanted sound and vibration.

This is especially useful in premium vehicles and high-performance applications where comfort and refinement are closely evaluated.

Friction Value

Why Friction Audit Testing Helps

Friction audit testing helps highlight where mechanical losses occur and how they may be reduced through design or calibration changes. This improves both efficiency and long-term durability.

As part of a complete powertrain lab offering, friction audit tests help customers make smarter engineering decisions early in the development cycle.

Hot Cold Trials

Hot & Cold Trials

Hot and cold trials are used to study how the powertrain behaves in different temperature conditions. Temperature affects starting, performance, fuel use, emissions, and component response, so this type of testing is important for reliable product validation.

ATS Group offers hot and cold trial services to help teams understand system stability across temperature ranges. These tests are essential for products that must operate in varied climates and challenging environmental conditions.

Durability Tests

Durability Tests

Durability tests are used to determine how long the powertrain can operate under repeated stress and extended usage. This type of testing is essential because real-world conditions can create wear, fatigue, and performance loss over time.

ATS Group offers durability testing services to help customers validate long-term powertrain reliability. These services are valuable when manufacturers want to ensure that the engine, transmission, and related systems perform consistently throughout the product life cycle.
