Powertrain Testing is undergoing radical change, driven by the challenges that global society faces today. The need for reduced dependence on fossil fuels and improved carbon footprints is driving advances in the technologies used in all vehicles. This in turn has a direct impact on approaches to testing of powertrain components and systems.
There are three major areas of powertrain test: Hardware-in-the-loop and Component cells test sub-systems of the Powertrain and normally include simulation of other components that are absent from the test. These are generally focused on the development of hardware systems such as engine/prime-mover/transmission control systems.
Full-Powertrain cells provide a test of the full Powertrain solution, often in combination with a Robot Driver and real-world simulation tools.
In-Vehicle tests allow the full powertrain to be tested in the vehicle, normally with a Robot Driver and again will often use real-world simulation technologies.
The major players in global Powertrain Testing market include AVL, FEV, IAV, etc. The top 3 players occupy about 40% shares of the global market. Asia-Pacific and Europe are main markets, they occupy about 65% of the global market. Engine Test and Gearbox Test are main types, with a share about 45%. Components Manufacturers is the main application, which holds a share about 50%.
