Industry Involvement and Affiliations

ACS actively supports trade and industry associations and organizations to share knowledge, promote and learn best practices, and to advance new technologies. Above all, we value the relationships we develop as we serve on committees and participate in associated organizational activities and events.

We are proud to support and serve:

Engine & Vehicle Test Facility Forum (EVTF)

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.” ACS will continue its industry stewardship efforts by hosting the next Forum in June 2021.

2019 EVTF Forum Overview

We regret that we’ve had to make the decision to not hold a Forum in June of 2021. This would have been our 6th event. We are optimistic that we will hold a Forum again in 2022.

Please email us so we can keep you up to date on any updates about what we may do in lieu of our EVTF Forum 2021. We appreciate any of your ideas!
