Ford's European Automotive Operations are supported by a Research and Development centre in both England and Germany. Both centres have engine laboratories, which are responsible for testing and developing Ford's range of petrol and diesel engines, to achieve Corporate objectives of performance, fuel economy, exhaust emissions, quality and durability. A computerised engine test facility has been developed, where the common software supports different test bed hardware and languages in England and Germany. This provides a real time data acquisition, calculation and display system, networked to central computers, for hardcopy printing and plotting of test results. The tests can be run manually or under full computer control.
