4WD Chassis Dyno Test Cells Upgrade
Ford Michigan Proving Grounds - Romeo, MI
Project Features: 4WD Chassis Dyno, Road Speed Fan, Thermal Enclosure, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure, Demolition, Renovation
Project Overview
ACS provided turnkey engineering, design, construction, integration, and commissioning to upgrade four 4WD chassis dyno test cells capable of testing up to Class 4 trucks. ACS specified and procured dynamometers, robot drivers and data acquisition system. ACS designed, fabricated and installed road speed fan systems capable of 200 MPH simulation, thermal enclosures, control systems, gas detection, and complete vehicle integration tools. The mileage accumulation facility upgrade included two heated enclosure test cells and two open air test cells. ACS also performed conceptual engineering for future upgrade phases for this facility.
