Mustang Advanced Engineering (MAE), an American manufacturer of testing equipment, dynamometers and related products, has delivered and installed two new chassis dynamometers for GM Canada, which has begun a US$2bn transformational investment in its manufacturing and R&D facilities in Ingersoll and Oshawa, Ontario.
As part of GM’s expanding capabilities, the need for end-of-line testing of heavy duty and light-duty pickups, as well as accommodating the switch to being Canada’s first full-scale EV manufacturing plant, led the company to approach Mustang to deliver chassis dynamometers with the capabilities to handle two-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles.
MAE’s solution was a 2WD and an AWD 500 series chassis dynamometer, oversized and equipped with extra safety features including stone guards to block any debris thrown from the wheels on the rollers.
