Engine Research

APS LABS has an extensive history working with OEM’s, suppliers, and innovators on the development of hardware, controls, calibration and alternative fuels R&D, as well as advanced architectures and technologies for IC engines for recreational to commercial vehicles and power generation. Many of our staff come from industry and have extensive experience in the design, development, and testing of engine technologies. Key resources available for light-duty and medium duty engines are given below. Additional dynamometers are available to include: high-speed low inertia, high HP (eddy current), and smaller dynamometers (both AC and eddy current).
