Our in-house AWD vehicle chassis test facility is
EPA/CARB certified to SULEV emissions levels. Recent
improvements ensure that we have the highest level of
capability for accurate fuel economy measurements.
Calibration Engineers
Our pool of available calibration engineers (for in-house
and customer on-site locations) provides a wealth of
experience in specialized functions and general vehicle
calibrations. Our engineers can contribute to the team
immediately with little to no ramp-up time.
Diesel Capabilities – CAV Engineering
Our alliance with CAV Engineering provides us with the
capability to offer experienced diesel engine calibration
support to our customers.
Driveability
MAHLE Powertrain can deliver engine and transmission
calibrations that capture the customer's requirements and
the vehicle's 'DNA'. Calibrations are developed initially
on a transient dynamometer, and then in-vehicle on
chassis dynamometers and on the road. Final testing
and validation is performed in territories representative of
the intended markets.
