The MoLAS is a moving laboratory able to fully characterize the tire behavior in the real working environment. The basic structure of the moving laboratory is represented by a semi-trailer. A rotating frame that supports the measuring system is used to set the camber level by using an electric actuator. An electric steering actuation system guarantees high output torque and high output power. A pneumatic actuator is used to apply the vertical load, allowing to generate a large range of vertical force up to SUVs values. A complex driveline including an internal combustion engine (ICE) coupled with the gearbox and an electromagnetic (EM) retarder is used to apply both driving and braking torques. This aspect constitutes a new feature of the system.
