Testing
Is in
Our
DNA

We are committed to the highest standards!

Our Propulsion System Test Cell is designed to push combustion engines and their ancillaries to their limits. It is not only meant for short performance evaluations, but for long endurance tests with full control over every test cycle of a propulsion package.

The PSTC (propulsion system test cell) has a minimum set of features in its basic variant. It is designed around an ISO-668 container for easy transport and can be deployed at customers premises or where needed at any specific time. Additional options can be chosen from to add testing capabilities or adopt for higher power, therefore providing a modular system for various sizes, propulsion systems and functionalities.
