Engine Test Facility Of The Year

MAHLE Powertrain Ltd News and PR from MAHLE Powertrain Ltd - Published 18 June 2019 MAHLE Powertrain's Real Driving Emissions Centre in Northampton, UK is winner of the 2018 Automotive Testing Technology International Awards.
Taking control of RDE

As the world challenges the automotive industry to develop vehicle powertrains that meet the latest real world emissions targets, MAHLE Powertrain wanted to be in the best possible position to support its
customers in that goal.
This is why MAHLE Powertrain has built the
worldÂ’s first dedicated Real Driving Emissions Centre (RDEC).

The RDE Centre will focus on the complete development of new powertrain solutions
from concept right through to reality. Engineers have faced the difficulty of carrying
out development for RDE (Real Driving Emissions) in an unpredictable environment.
Now MAHLE Powertrain has enabled its customers to take control and bring
development back into controlled laboratory conditions where engineers can make
valued decisions in their development processes.

The RDE Centre will focus on the complete RDE development process, starting with
the latest in predictive analysis tools and vehicle simulation, allowing engineers to
make conscious decisions on their powertrain hardware requirements, right at the start of their development program.

Validating those hardware choices and correlating analysis models, through steady
state and transient engine testing will allow engineers to make informed decisions
based on predictive vehicle behaviour before the need to build costly prototype vehicles.

The Automotive Testing Technology International Award Award is a great acknowledgement that the construction of our RDE Centre was a step in the right direction to continue setting new standards in real driving emissions testing.
The RDE Centre will focus on the complete development of new powertrain solutions from concept right through to reality.
