Intertek powers up for national low carbon vehicle event LCV 2016
09 Sep 2016
Intertek, a leading total quality assurance provider to industries worldwide, brings its total quality assurance, testing, inspection and certification package for the automotive industry, to the UK’s leading low carbon vehicle event LCV2016.
Following significant investment this year in the company’s electric and hybrid testing facilities, Intertek will be showcasing its testing, assurance and advisory service for electric motors, full hybrid drivelines and fired engines, as well as specific automotive testing expertise of battery packs, electrical systems, charging infrastructure and complete vehicles.*
Intertek’s support of the automotive industry extends beyond the world of powertrain and electric and hybrid vehicles. The company is developing its on-road emissions testing capability using PEMS equipment as well as offering a wide range of services including materials testing, polymer and interior trim testing and vehicle fleet trials services.
Tony Braddon, Managing Director, Intertek Transportation Technologies Milton Keynes, who will be attending both days of the event, said: “Intertek recognises that the automotive industry is moving into a high-tech future where the use of internal combustion engines is being augmented and in many cases superseded by hybrid technology, batteries and electric motors.
“In the UK, the largest market for ultra-low emission vehicles in Europe, Intertek is well positioned at the leading edge of development, to offer the UK’s highest capacity electric vehicle driveline testing equipment, including high capacity battery simulators and the latest exhaust emissions measurement systems. In Germany and the USA, Intertek works in partnership with the best of the global automotive manufacturing industry, to test and develop their vehicles’ powertrains and charging infrastructures, to ensure they are offering the highest performance while addressing all environment issues and regulations,” Tony added.
*This includes Type Approval testing to ECE Regulation 10 (EMC), ECE Regulation 100 (Electrical Safety) and ECE Reg 85 (Power Certification).
Intertek will be exhibiting on Stand C3-423 and presenting on “The challenges of testing high performance electric motors” at this year’s LCV2016 event.
