Allison Transmission\u2019s new Vehicle Environmental Test (VET) Center is a new, one-of-a-kind testing facility located on the company\u2019s headquarters campus in Indianapolis, IN. This industry-leading facility allows OEMs, body builders, suppliers, and end-users to satisfy their vehicle testing needs in a single environment-controlled location year-round.<\/p>\n
The VET Center is one of only a few extreme climate testing chambers in the country that can handle large trucks and buses and alter the test environment from -54\u00b0F to 125\u00b0F and simulate up to 18,000-ft elevation. The facility tests the following vehicles:<\/p>\n
IMEG provided structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design and services for the 60,000-sf facility. The building houses an ambient soak chamber, cold soak chamber, hot soak chamber, and two environmental testing chambers. The design also included one medium duty and one heavy duty all-wheel drive chassis dyno within chambers capable of simulating a broad range of environmental conditions, emission testing and applications.<\/p>\n
To support the extreme testing conditions needed in this facility, IMEG provided a unique design that included low temperature Syltherm chiller serving five custom air handling units and altitude simulation equipment.<\/p>\n
This innovative center\u2018s controlled laboratory conditions eliminate dependence on weather conditions and variations in fuel economy and performance testing, while providing reliable and repeatable data for product development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
