Why would you renew your test bed?
Investing in a test bench takes up a significant portion of an innovative company’s budget.
Therefor, after a few years, when the test bed tends to become less reliable, the decision of its future becomes central: should it be scrapped or updated? It should also be noted that after a few years of use, the test bench no longer meets the initial needs. So the question remains: should we scrap it or increase its potential?
At Greenmot, we are confronted with this situation regularly, being users of our own test benches.

How to renew your test bed?
As TIME TO MARKET is key in the multiple energy revolution the Automotive world is currently facing, improving test data quality and analysis time is more crucial than ever. In order to correlate numerical twins with vehicle real behavior, you need to rely on robust, repeatable and reliable testing equipment.
Updating the test bed allows regular maintenance of the installation and in addition, if this option is chosen, a technical upgrade. It is also possible to implement new legal requirements necessary for the safe long-term operation of the test bed.
