New SAE International Book Helps Global Automotive Manufacturers Comply with Changing Regulations
WARRENDALE, Pa. (PRWEB) July 17, 2017 -- As global regulations change and ground vehicle manufacturers must comply or risk fines and recalls, SAE International’s new book CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER TESTING: Addressing the Challenges of New Global Legislation | WLTP and RDE teaches engineers and technical professionals how to optimize chassis dynamometer test cells to overcome environmental and legislative challenges while balancing cost and customer demand.
CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER TESTING is a culmination of collaboration among multiple groups of specialists. The 250-page book will equip organizations with the knowledge to build future-proof testing facilities and processes to ensure that vehicles go to market in compliance with evolving regulations.
The book presents complete, actionable guidance so organizations can:
• Design a chassis dynamometer test cell that simulates on-road conditions
• Create an efficient process that yields controlled, repeatable tests
• Comply with current and future emissions and emissions testing regulations
CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER TESTING: Addressing the Challenges of New Global Legislation | WLTP and RDE is published by SAE International.
