Visteon developed a unique solution - the industry's first self-contained, fully enclosed Mobile Chassis Dynamometer for performing test services at customer sites and engineering analysis from prototype and pre-production audits, to benchmarking and target setting, to root-cause analysis and troubleshooting production issues. A patented, multiple non-contact laser measurement process was installed to expedite testing processes and reduce risk of damage to vehicles during transportation from assembly plant to a stationary in-ground Chassis Dynamometer. This Mobile Chassis Dynamometer is capable of testing vehicles with various driveline configurations and does not require customer resources during the test period. The Visteon team provides more than just testing - we bring solutions to your doorstep. The key advantages of Visteon's Mobile Chassis Dynamometer are Mobility, Non-ContactTesting, and Efficiency. 1. Mobility: performs on-site testing anywhere at customer's convenience along with engineering support for test and analysis. 2. Non-Contact Testing: patented laser process allows quick set up time for testing and no blemish left on dealer-ready vehides; no modifications to the test vehides is required. 3. Efficiency: it takes 20 minutes for most of the tests from data acquisition to the test results. Eliminating costly and time-consuming process for transporting vehides to and from traditional dynamometer facilities. Data and plots available immediately after test completion. Self-contained, require no external power. 4. Cost/timing Benefits: our experience shows when we support vehicie programs from model year to model year during the vehicle development phase, our customers experienced no major issues during the production launch, no plant shutdowns or no-ships. We helped our customers to optimize system level performance to achieve their outstanding vehicle characteristics.
