Why powertrain testing?
Powertrain tests validate the reliability, performance and conformity of powertrains under representative conditions. They secure development by anticipating failures, optimising fuel efficiency and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. They are essential to controlled innovation, and ensure the robustness and competitiveness of vehicles brought to market.
Which vehicles are covered by these tests?
Combustion engine (ICE)
Light hybrid engine (MHEV)
Hybrid engine (HEV)
Plug-in hybrid engine (PHEV)
Electric motor (BEV)
Our three main types of tests
Powertrain endurance tests
Our endurance campaigns validate the robustness of powertrains over extended periods, under controlled conditions. These tests enable us to detect wear phenomena, optimise preventive maintenance and secure performance over the long term. The Emitech Group also provides instrumentation, drift analysis and qualification in severe climatic environments.

Powertrain performance tests
We help manufacturers measure the overall performance of thermal, hybrid and electric powertrains. Our test benches can be used to assess power, torque, efficiency, fuel consumption, thermal behaviour and emissions, under standardised or extreme conditions. These tests are essential for certification and energy optimisation procedures.

Fine tuning tests (engine mapping and calibration)
The Emitech Group is involved in the development of engine control laws via calibration and fine tuning (MAP) tests. Our experts configure engine control strategies in line with usage constraints, regulations or customer objectives. Mapping is adapted to each application: consumption, pollution, driving pleasure, electromagnetic compatibility, etc.
