In the automobile sector, to ensure the highest standards and to meet the product quality, durability, reliability, and safety of automobile, powertrain dynamometer plays an important role. As manufacturers and engineers of vehicles focus on providing vehicles with improved fuel economy and increased engine power, they need to test the power output and fuel efficiency of vehicle powertrain dynamometers. Dynamometer is a device used for measuring force, the moment of force (torque), and power. Power, force, and torque are very important terms related to the performance of a vehicle. For instance, if the vehicle consumes less power, it gives high mileage and consumes less fuel. Hence, measuring of force, torque, and power of an automotive powertrain is very important for manufacturers to provide best quality vehicle. Furthermore, dynamometers are used to simulate road loading on full powertrain and measure the vehicle’s ability to move or hold the RPM (revolutions per minute), according to the braking force applied. Hence, increasing production of automobiles is driving growth of the global automotive powertrain dynamometers market.
Original equipment manufacturers are expanding research and development efforts in order to produce cost-effective solutions employing cost-effective components. However, the prices of raw materials required to build powertrain dynamometers are fluctuating, and automakers are dealing with unpredictable pricing of integrated circuits, circuit boards, and other components.
