acs affiliations, acs industry involvement

To promote ongoing industry excellence, ACS hosts the Engine and Vehicle Test Facility Forum. The goal is to bring together industry peers in a non-commercial environment to share best practices and learn about new technologies related to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of engine and vehicle test facilities.

The Engine and Vehicle Test Facility Forum is held in Madison, Wisconsin where industry experts gather for two and a half days of interactive, technical discussions. Panel discussions include topics such as “New Ways to Think About Flexibility & Standardization,” “Energy Efficient Strategies,” “Managing Your Test Investment,” “Validating Lab Results,” “Unlocking the Value of Big Data,” and “HSE in the Test Environment.”

For more information about the topics from a past forum and to understand the format, please download the EVTF Overview from 2019

2019 EVTF Forum Overview

We regret that we were unable to hold a Forum in June of 2021. It would have been our 6th event. We are optimistic that we will hold a Forum again in 2023.

Please email us so we can keep you apprised of our plans as they develop. We appreciate any of your ideas!
