Visit Horiba’s booth to find out how the company’s continuous optimization and improvement of tried-and-tested designs has led to the next generation of high-performance, customizable chassis dynamometers, the Vulcan Compact LDV 4x4.
With patented synchronous motor technology in each roller, the Vulcan Compact LDV 4x4 fulfills the technical requirements for high performance ranges with a small installation space. Plus, the efficient cooling system is based on water cooling, obviating the need for a ventilation system.
By fitting into existing pits, the Vulcan Compact LDV 4x4 can test hybrid, battery and fuel cell electric vehicles with no necessary building modifications. The power on the single axles (four-quadrant operation) has been increased for power checks on EVs. Traditional emissions testing is still possible with this design, but now NVH and performance testing for LDVs, MDVs and two-wheelers up to 350km/h can also be performed.
In comparison with its predecessor, the new-generation Vulcan allows significantly smoother torque distribution due to its 24 poles.
Furthermore, different speeds can be run on each roll to simulate driving a curve, with different accelerations on each tire to check the vehicle control system in icy road simulations.
