PLYMOUTH, MI—Mahle Powertrain USA is building a $4 million dynamometer facility here for electric vehicles. It will be capable of supporting full power train development, from the testing and calibration of individual drive components to the complete driveline systems of complex four-wheel-drive vehicles.
When it opens this fall, the facility will enable advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology assessments, U.S. and European emissions testing capability, and drivability development testing all on the same testbed.
