1 Slope testing
MTU has a facility to test engines in inclinations of up to 100% in all
directions and in all combinations. The test cell accommodates up to 2 tons
in weight and 2200 kW (3000 hp) in power at all inclinations. Lubrication
systems can then be specifically adjusted to customer requirements.

2 Special PowerPack testing

MTU is one of few companies around the world that have the capabilities
to test complete PowerPacks for military vehicles. The MTU test facilities
handle PowerPacks up to 2000 kW (2720 hp). The main purpose is to
minimize cost-intensive vehicle trials with tests to simulate real vehicle and
environmental conditions, including cooling system, air filtration system,
optional gear shifting and acceleration.

3 Cold start testing

Operating under extreme climate conditions is a key requirement for military
2
vehicles. MTU PowerPacks® are cold start tested for temperatures down
to -42° C (-43.6° F). This includes the complete vehicle infrastructure, such
as fuel system wiring.

4 Immersion testing
Many customers require tests beyond the engine and PowerPack. Immersion
testing is completed by MTU and can include whole vehicle testing. MTU
addresses these needs with qualified test engineers and specific knowledge
on how to minimize risks.
