Applus+ Laboratories Opens New EMC Test Chamber for Large and Heavy Vehicles in UK
Applus+ Laboratories has opened a brand-new EMC test chamber for large and heavy vehicles. The new chamber in the UK laboratory, Applus+ 3C Test, features reinforced floor and EV-charging capabilities, and it is ready to test the latest buses, heavy duties, and off-road vehicles.
Applus+ has continued the investment drive in its UK test center to expand its capabilities for full vehicle EMC testing. The new full-vehicle chamber built will be dedicated to commercial vehicles. Both chambers are equipped to test Electric Vehicles (EVs) in charging mode.
Buses, heavy duties, and off-road vehicles
Large heavy vehicles require very specific facilities to be tested indoors, where measures are more accurate than outdoor testing. Chamber dimensions, maximum weight, and door size are limiting elements for many laboratories.
The new chamber at Applus+ 3C Test is a state-of-the-art facility where OEMs can test their newest developments. With a strong floor withstanding up to 50 tonnes of weight as well as a 5 x 5-meter door, Applus+ can now test virtually any road vehicle on the market.
Advancing Technology for Greener Transportation
Applus+ Laboratories is committed to supporting the automotive industry in its innovation push to develop more environmental-friendly vehicles. The chamber is equipped with all the necessary auxiliary equipment to test new energy vehicles – BEV and PHEV – in charging mode.
This new investment adds to the full vehicle EMC facilities in the UK and Spain, reinforcing Applus+'s position as a European leader in EMC testing for the whole automotive industry, from sports cars to off-road vehicles.
